Detailed: 2025 Husqvarna FC and TC range

Enhancements announced as part of mid-generation updates.

Husqvarna Motorcycles has unveiled its 2025 motocross line-up, including a series of performance upgrades applied to the brand’s FC and TC models.

Those updates include revised frames, engine mounts, bodywork, and suspension settings, which all combine to create an elevated riding experience with two exciting, new two-stroke models added to the motocross range – the TC 150 and TC 300.

Based upon the class-leading TC 125, the new TC 150 – which isn’t coming to Australia – bridges the gap between the TC 125 and the TC 250. Offering improved overall power and a considerable boost to the torque, as well as confidence-inspiring handling, the TC 150 is an ideal balance for two-stroke enthusiasts.

The same philosophy applies to the new TC 300. Using the proven foundations of the TC 250, the 300cc model is capable of racing with 450cc four-strokes thanks to its versatile engine that delivers exceptional torque and peak performance. It delivers a combination of unsurpassed power and rideability within a lightweight construction.

The 2025 Husqvarna FC 250 and FC 350 continue to be powered by state-of-the-art, DOHC engines that are designed to be lightweight and play a vital role in elevating overall handling. Together with the flagship FC 450, all four-stroke models feature the latest technology and electronic rider aids for superior on track performance.

The latest generation frame ensures all models offer exceptional handling. With material reduced around the upper shock mount and at the front of the chassis, the revisions were introduced to enhance flex characteristics, reduce weight, and improve cornering without compromising straight-line stability. The three four-strokes have new engine mounts that aid agility.

Further chassis revisions include new suspension settings, linkage seals, and a smaller diameter linkage bolt to save weight while redesigned tank shrouds allow easier access to the adjusters on the WP shock. The seat height is five millimeters higher and wider at the lowest point for easier movement on the bike while new, Swedish-inspired graphics create a distinctive look.

All models are expertly crafted with the latest technology and rider aids, in addition to featuring an extensive list of premium aftermarket components to ensure each machine delivers best-in-class rideability.

New on the motocross machines for 2025 are Dunlop’s latest MX34 tyres, which provide improved acceleration and cornering, while ProTaper handlebars, ODI grips, and Brembo clutch and brake systems are retained for their proven performance and durability.

– Revised chassis for enhanced flex and cornering agility
