TC 85 17/14

01. Performance

Engine

Continuing to utilise the latest 2-stroke technology, the TC 85 engine remains well ahead of its 85 cc competition by offering improved torque for 2025. A new cylinder head, spark plug, and ignition contributes to a 120 g weight saving over the previous generation while boosting overall performance. Two engine maps ensure the TC 85 performs in all conditions with a close ratio six-speed gearbox and hydraulic clutch completing the build of this highly competitive machine.

Cylinder

A light and durable aluminium cylinder is designed around an innovative powervalve system that ensures unrivalled performance. For 2025, a new cylinder head further improves bottom end to mid-range power, which reduces the need for riders to feather the clutch in heavy track conditions.

Crankcase

Manufactured using a high-pressure die-cast process, the crankcases feature thinner walls to reduce weight while retaining strength and durability. This design allows for a more compact engine arrangement that brings the internal components closer to the centre of gravity to enhance handling.

Clutch

The reliable, lightweight hydraulic system from Miba ensures consistent play, even in the toughest of conditions, and offers a near maintenance-free operation. The clutch itself is housed inside a strong steel clutch basket for consistent action and assured durability.

02. Chassis

Frame

Fully redesigned for improved handling and stability, the all-new frame is constructed from hydro-formed chromium molybdenum steel. This proven material is not only strong, but it offers precise flex and rigidity to further enhance the known agility of the TC 85. Inside the new frame, the engine is repositioned to distribute its weight in the most effective way, which together with a flatter steering head angle leads to easier cornering for all young riders.

WP XACT front forks

State-of-the-art, 43 mm WP XACT AER forks with new settings offer exceptional damping and comfort. Lightweight with 278 mm of travel, the left leg features an air spring that is easily adjusted with a pump to accommodate rider preference, weight, and track conditions.

WP XACT PDS shock

The new, fully adjustable WP XACT shock offers 289 mm of travel and is mounted directly to the swingarm using Progressive Damping System (PDS) technology. Together with the new swingarm, the shock offers improved traction, stability, and overall handling.

Subframe

The proven subframe design is a one-piece component made from polyamide glass fibre-reinforced aluminium. This cutting-edge hybrid construction reduces considerable weight with specific rigidity engineered into it for outstanding control and feedback.

Foot Rests

The all-new foot rests are larger than the previous generation to enhance grip while the overall design prevents mud from building up for assured control at all times. An improved mounting concept ensures the foot rests are less susceptible to catching on the side of deep ruts, to help the TC 85 maintain forward momentum.

03. Components

Bodywork

All-new ergonomic bodywork is precisely scaled to the proportions of the average 85 cc rider, which helps build confidence while offering unrestricted movement. Slimmer overall thanks to the new frame, the new bodywork allows youngsters to grip tighter with their knees for complete control.

Brakes

Floating callipers from Formula are paired with a Galfer 240 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc to provide confidence-inspiring braking in all conditions. Formula master cylinders and brake hoses ensure maximum performance and durability.

Wheels

Black Excel rims (17 inch in the front and 14 inch in the rear) are laced to CNC-machined hubs using strong spokes to create a lightweight and robust wheelset. The wheels are equipped with Maxxis Maxxcross MX-ST tyres that are manufactured with a compound designed for exceptional straight-line stability, traction, and predictability across a wide range of terrain.

Handlebars & grips

The tapered, black anodised Neken handlebars feature a new, modern bend for 2025 and are made from high-quality aluminium alloy for exceptional vibration dampening and stability. Black, ODI grips are then securely installed. The left grip is locked in place using a small clamp while the throttle grip is vulcanised onto the throttle tube for a secure fitment. To protect the rider in the event of a heavy landing, the handlebar mounts are covered with a bar pad to cushion any impact.

04. Technology

Airbox

A new airbox concept features precisely positioned inlet ducts that ensure maximum airflow and filter protection. The Twin Air filter behind the left side panel remains easily accessible without tools for a fast and simple replacement of the air filter.

Cooling

The TC 85 features brand-new, state-of-the-art Pankl radiators for 2025 that are scaled down versions of those found on the full-size motocross machines made by Husqvarna Motorcycles. In addition to the coolant flowing through the cylinder, it is also channelled through the crankcases to maintain an optimal running temperature at all times.

Swingarm

An improved casting process reduces the weight of the new swingarm by 300 g when compared to the old generation. The one-piece design is manufactured using a gravity die-cast process for exceptional strength and optimised flex. Clear chain adjustment markings on the swingarm ensures easy maintenance while the new, more durable chain guide and slider are designed to prevent dirt build-up.

Exhaust

A new exhaust system is manufactured using a proven process to improve power and build quality. The header pipe now has the welded seams on the inside removed while its new geometry boosts performance in the low to mid RPM range without sacrificing peak, top end power. The silencer is updated with a stylish, black anodised finish.
