01. Faster and wiser
Engine
The engine is at the pinnacle of 2-stroke performance, producing 53 hp and weighing just 23.9 kg. Complete with the latest technical innovations, the TC 250 Heritage model comes with electronic fuel injection (EFI) for reduced running costs, removes the need for jetting changes, and improves reliability. The addition of electric start adds to the simplicity of this popular model and guarantees fast starting in all situations.
Cylinder
The cylinder has a 66.4 mm bore and thanks to the EFI, an electronic exhaust control system is utilised instead of a traditional powervalve. This highly innovative technology manages the opening of the lateral exhaust ports before the main exhaust ports open to deliver strong, controllable power. The upper contour of the exhaust port features a machined finish for improved port timing and unrivalled performance.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is designed with weight reduction in mind to increase throttle response. The perfect balance of rotating masses is achieved by balancing the weights of the crankshaft flywheel, the rotor, and the counter balancer shaft.
Crankcases
High-pressure die cast production processes allow for the crankcases to be manufactured with a thinner wall thickness to keep the overall weight to a minimum and to position the shaft arrangements perfectly for optimised mass centralisation. This clever design aids the overall balance and agility of the TC 250 Heritage machine while the symmetrical engine mounts enhance the flex characteristics of the chassis.
Counter balancer shaft
The TC 250 Heritage model features an innovative, laterally mounted counter balancer shaft. This shaft significantly reduces engine vibration, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride.
DDS clutch
The damped diaphragm steel (DDS) clutch fitted to the TC 250 Heritage machine is unique as a single diaphragm steel pressure plate is utilised instead of traditional coil springs. Housed inside a CNC machined steel basket, the overall clutch design contributes to the compact engine layout and features a damping system for maximum traction and durability.
Gearbox
The TC 250 Heritage model features a 5-speed gearbox manufactured exclusively by Pankl Racing Systems for the highest level of durability and ensures smooth and precise shifting. In addition, the gear lever tip design provides optimised leverage and prevents dirt build-up, even in the toughest conditions.
