2023 Husqvarna® TC 125 Heritage

2023 Husqvarna® TC 125

Small in capacity while big on capability, the 2023 TC 125 receives multiple technical upgrades headlined by the inclusion of EFI and E-Start technology. These revisions are instantly noticeable as after a simple push of a button, the engine starts easily, and, once out on track, the TC 125 delivers an improved experience for all riders. Further changes include a new cylinder with a highly innovative electronic exhaust control system, and a lighter crank for improved throttle response and reduced vibration. Continuing to benefit from class-leading components including WP Suspension, a ProTaper handlebar, and a polyamide-reinforced subframe, the TC 125 receives all-new bodywork and a striking new look to remain at the forefront of the highly competitive 125cc class.

Features may include:

• Engine

The new TC 125 engine sets the standard for performance in the highly competitive 125cc class and weighs in at just 17.9kg. The lightweight engine features the latest innovations to produce more torque while retaining its high-revving 2-stroke character. These revisions ensure both beginners and seasoned professionals can ride faster on the race track while further centralisation of rotating mass inside the engine significantly benefits the overall handling of the TC 125.

• Cylinder

The new cylinder features a 54 mm bore and due to the introduction of EFI on the TC 125, the powervalve is replaced with an innovative electronic exhaust control system. Using an actuator, the lateral exhaust port and main exhaust port open simultaneously for maximum power delivery.

• Crankshaft

A redesigned crankshaft is 300 g lighter for improved throttle response and minimal vibration. The component is precisely positioned to ensure rotational mass has very little effect on the overall handling of the motorcycle.

• Chromium molybdenum frame

The proven chromium molybdenum steel frame is refined for 2023. A new shock mounting, which is no longer connected to the main tube, significantly improves the anti-squat behaviour of the chassis. With optimised wall thickness in high stress areas improving reliability, the frame continues to offer advanced geometries and flex characteristics aimed at providing unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption, and exceptional straight-line stability. The frame is finished off in a premium metallic blue powder coating with redesigned 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 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. Adapted after countless hours of testing, the contact points and surfaces in the rider triangle have been repositioned for 2023 to improve comfort on the motorcycle. A new, flatter seat offers unrestricted movement with a high grip cover ensuring riders stay firmly in place under hard acceleration.
