Alex Gobert in action aboard the 2012 Husqvarna TC 250 at Queensland Moto Park.

Paul Feeney Group, Australian distributors of Husqvarna Motorcycles, yesterday launched the 2012 model TC 250 in Queensland.

Held at the brand new Queensland Moto Park facility at Wyaralong, Australia’s leading publications were on hand to put the new Husqvarna through its paces, including MotoOnline.com.au.

Husqvarna’s latest Lites contender features a revamped 249.5cc motor and updated chassis to match, including a stiffer frame and switch to a KYB shock to match the forks.

Initial impressions of the bike are positive, with Husqvarna again making significant advancements in what is a very competitive class in the motocross ranks.

Stay tuned for a full Launch Report to be uploaded on MotoOnline.com.au next week.
