Local Husqvarna rider, Tye Thiess will debut the 2010 HUSQVARNA “X light” TC250 this weekend at ECHO VALLEY club day.
TOOWOOMBA BIKES & BITS is looking forward to receiving the first limited stock of the new anticipated TC 250 this weekend with more to come at the end of September. The new flagship of the Husqvarna Motocross range will be available as of now.
The TC 250, nick-named the X light for the fact that it is right on the category weight limit, was totally redesigned for 2010.
Following its brilliant debut in the European motocross championships, the 2010 version, that has seen some significant modifications, is now available to the general public. The swing arm has been shortened by 15 mm to offer better traction and the progression on the rear suspension has been improved. The machine now has sealed cartridge 48 mm Kayaba forks. New wheel hubs and spindles complete the mechanical modification while IPD (in-mould plastic decoration) graphics decorate new body panels. The X light engine weighs 22 kg and is more powerful with improved torque characteristics. Power delivery too is fast and the torque curve much more linear.
