2024 Husqvarna® TC 250

Delivering pure short circuit performance, the FS 450 is undoubtedly the machine of choice for all serious Supermoto racers. With an incredibly versatile SOHC engine that produces a broad spread of controllable power, the internal shaft arrangements are placed at the ideal centre of gravity to vastly benefit manoeuvrability. Aiding this agile feel is the lightweight chassis. Manufactured using innovative engineering techniques, the frame design ensures exceptional handling. Retaining its customisable electronics and assembled with high-quality components throughout, the FS 450 is finished with new white, yellow, and grey graphics inspired by the brand's Swedish heritage.

Features may include:

• Powerful engine

The FS 450 engine benefits from advanced engineering techniques to deliver maximum performance. For 2023 the engine is lighter, weighing just 59 lb (26.8 kg), and is tilted two degrees backwards to further centralise mass for enhanced handli ...

• Cylinder head

The SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact with the camshaft positioned as close to the centre of gravity as possible to aid handling and agility. A durable, fine-punched cam chain runs on low-friction chain guides for optimal efficiency and reliability with a single oil spray jet guaranteeing effective cooling. The lightweight valves are actuated via a rocker arm and feature timing specifically designed to deliver precise levels of torque and throttle response.

• Lightweight frame

The proven chromium molybdenum steel frame is designed to significantly improve the anti-squat behaviour of the chassis. In addition, the wall thickness of the frame in high stress areas is optimised for enhanced reliability, together with advanced geometries and flex characteristics aimed at providing unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption, and exceptional straight-line stability. The frame is finished off with a premium metallic blue powder coating with standard frame protectors offering superior protection, durability, and grip in any condition. Additionally, the inclusion of forged brackets on the lower frame rails allows for easy installation of the skid plate, which is available as a Technical Accessory.

• Polyamide-reinforced aluminium subframe

Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminium, the new two-piece subframe for 2023 ensures exceptional strength and durability at an overall weight of just 3.9 lb (1.8 kg). The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminium for significantly improved reliability. The upper section of the subframe is made from injection-moulded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics and ensure a lightweight construction.

• Functional bodywork

Clean, Swedish-inspired design and ergonomics are tailored to allow riders to perform at their best for extended periods of time. Refined after countless hours of testing, the contact points and surfaces in the rider triangle are positioned to improve comfort on the motorcycle.

• Airbox

Designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts aimed at reducing drag and air flow deformation, the airbox ensures unrestricted airflow with maximum filter protection. The Twin Air filter is easily accessed without tools, by simply removing the left side panel for easy maintenance.

• Wheels and tyres

Black 16.5'' and 17'' Alpina spoked wheels on the front and rear respectively are lightweight and strong. Metzeler Racetec SM K1 125/75 R420 and 165/55 R420 slick tyres are fitted for maximum grip, traction, and agility.
