Husqvarna has released details on its updated 2015 motocross range on the eve of the international launch, which commences this weekend in Sweden.

Less than one year after the creation of Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH and the launch of the ‘new era’ model range by Husqvarna, the brand with Swedish origins introduces to the world media the new model year 15 model range.

“When the new era of Husqvarna was announced it was done so with a promise of building a bright future while keeping focused on the brand’s rich heritage and tradition,” asserts Oliver Göhring, Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH managing director.

“Now, one year on – and with a lot of exciting news and updates on the 2015 model range – we are keeping that promise. Husqvarna Motorcycles will continue to keep striding forward. We are building a promising future, ensuring a strong foothold in the market for many years to come.”

For MY15 significant updates further develop the premium characteristics of the highly technological Husqvarna motocross range.

Maintaining its loyalty to two-stroke enthusiasts with the TC 125 and TC 250 and together with the four-stroke FC 250, FC 350 and FC 450, plus the TC 85 minicross, there is a model of choice for every age and ability level.

Important changes for 2015 see a new WP 4CS fork with improved damping specifically designed for motocross. A new shock with 4mm more stroke, improved linkage geometry and a new 22mm front axle ensure optimum suspension and handling characteristics for MY15.

The FC 250 and FC 350 also benefit from an improved clutch basket and spring design while the TC 85 receives a lighter swingarm.

From the lightweight and agile handling of the two-strokes to the explosive power and all-round ability of the four-strokes, every rider is sure to find a match in the MY15 Husqvarna motocross range.

“As the pioneers of motocross and with over 110 years of experience, Husqvarna Motorcycles pride itself on offering premium products to the off-road market,” confirmed managing director Reinhold Zens.
