RAZOR SHARP AGILITY.

An exhilarating, high-revving power delivery and a lightweight and agile chassis, make the FC 250 a true contender in 250 4-stroke racing at all levels worldwide. The 14,000 RPM rev limit and a massive peak power output are benchmark performance features. High quality standard equipment includes electric start, a hydraulic clutch, Magura brakes and a handlebar-mounted map switch.

MOTOCROSS IS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE VERY CULTURE AND HISTORY OF THE HUSQVARNA MOTORCYCLE BRAND.

With over 100 years of continuous production, developing some of the world’s first production offroad machines, Husqvarna are truly the pioneers of the sport as we know it today. Husqvarna Motorcycles continue pioneering cutting-edge technologies by developing motorcycles that are more agile, more powerful and more ergonomically advanced than previous generations. The attention to detail and innovative techniques used by Husqvarna engineers have resulted in continued development year-on-year, delivering premium products to the motocross market.

In model year 2018, Husqvarna Motorcycles look to continue their century-long success and maintain their position as one of the leading players in the segment. To achieve this, they will continue offering motorcycles that are at the pinnacle of performance, design and ergonomics.

Husqvarna Motorcycles’ new motocross line-up consists of eight premium TC and FC models that combine cutting-edge technology with Swedish-inspired design, offering class-leading performance across the range.

For model year 2018 Husqvarna Motorcycles’ engineers focused their attentions on introducing further engine and chassis advances, while presenting a new from the ground up TC 85 machine.

Raising the bar in terms of design, performance and handling, the all-new generation TC 85 shares the same levels of premium quality and advanced technology as found on Husqvarna Motorcycles’ full-sized motocross machines. Featuring an all-new frame and high-tech WP suspension the 2018 TC 85 will allow junior motocross riders to perform with total confidence.

A major upgrade to all full-sized 2018 TC and FC machines are the Magura front and rear braking systems. Utilising a similar layout to the previous design, the new brakes now offer the best in terms of sensitivity and feeling. Additionally, all 4-strokes receive a new Li-Ion battery.

Based on a simple yet distinctive design, new graphics across the 2018 motocross range highlight Husqvarna’s Swedish heritage.

2018 Husqvarna FC250 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine

All major components and shaft arrangements are carefully designed and placed in specific positions that best suit the performance and handling characteristics of the overall package. The 250cc engine is not only light at 26.1 kg but also remarkably powerful, offering an overall power output of 46 hp at the output shaft.

             Engine design → light and compact for optimised mass-centralisation

             Outstanding performance → 46 hp peak power and 14,000 rpm rev-limit

Cylinder head

The DOHC cylinder head features finger followers with a DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating, resulting in minimal friction and optimal performance. These actuate large titanium valves (32.5 mm intake, 26.5 mm exhaust) that open and close multiple times each second introducing fuel/air mixture to the carefully designed combustion chamber for efficient and optimal power throughout the rev-range.

             Large titanium valves (32.5 mm intake, 26.5 mm exhaust) → optimal gas flow

             Finger followers with DLC coating → reduced friction, better performance

             Carefully designed combustion chamber → optimal power throughout the rev-range

Cylinder and piston

The 78 mm bore cylinder houses a forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP. Both the cylinder and piston are professionally engineered from high strength aluminium resulting in outstanding performance and reliability. The compression ratio is 14.4:1.

             Large 78 mm bore and large diameter valves → high-revving, quick response

             Forged box-type → high performance and reliability

Crankshaft

The crankshaft is designed to offer the best possible performance while being placed in the perfect position to centralise oscillating masses for optimal handling. The plain big end bearing features two force-fitted bearing shells, ensuring maximum reliability and durability and guaranteeing long service intervals of 100 hours.

             Plain big end bearing with force-fitted bearing shells → increased durability and service intervals

Crankcases

All Husqvarna motocross motors are designed with mass centralisation and weight reduction as main criteria. As a result, the crankcases have been designed to house the internal components of the engine in the perfect position to achieve the ideal centre of gravity while adding the least possible weight. The casings are manufactured using a high-pressure die-cast production process. The result is thin wall thickness and exceptional reliability. The iconic Husqvarna logo adorns the bronze finished crankcase covers.

             Crankcases → light and compact; optimised mass-centralisation

             High pressure die cast production process → thin walls for reduced weight, while maintaining strength

Gearbox

The 5-speed gearbox is designed to be extremely light and durable while featuring motocross-specific ratios. The shifting fork has a low-friction coating for smoother shifting, while the gear lever is designed to prevent dirt build-up and ensure perfect gear selection in all conditions. An advanced gear sensor allows for specific engine maps, delivering the best possible performance in each gear.

             New lighter 5-speed gearbox → increased durability and improved shifting

             Integrated gear sensor → specific engine maps for each gear

CSS clutch

The 250cc and 350cc engines feature a CSS (Coil Spring Steel) clutch with Magura hydraulics. The CSS clutch has six coil springs, seven clutch plates and a one-piece CNC machined steel clutch basket.

             CSS clutch → lightweight and reliable

             Magura hydraulic system → high quality, perfect clutch modulation
