Husqvarna Motorcycles unveil 2018 motocross and off-road competition ranges

By: Cycle Canada Published on 23 May 2017

Husqvarna Motorcycles introduce their 2018 TC and FC motocross machines – a line-up of eight 2-stroke and 4-stroke models.

With the new from the ground up TC 85, Husqvarna’s full-size TC and FC machines feature a series of upgrades among which are new brakes, a new battery, new graphics and a high-grip seat cover.

Additionally, Husqvarna Motorcycles announces the innovative 2018 TX and FX selection from their off-road competition range. The TX 300, FX 350 and FX 450 are perfectly suited for cross-country and off-road racing; offering both 2-stroke and 4-stroke choices for off-road competition motorcyclists looking to lead the way. From the tight and technical trails of woods racing that require ultimate agility, to the fast and unpredictable terrain of desert racing, the TX and FX model range boasts the perfect combination of agility and power that racers require.

Featuring high-tech componentry and rider-focused design, all eleven new models are at the pinnacle of performance, design and ergonomics.
