MOTO MADNESS
We’re not even at the
halfway point of 2019, but
already next year’s moto
models are starting to break
cover. It’s all kicked off with
the Mattighofen monster
dropping both the KTM and
Husqvarna lineups, so let's
take a closer look.
HUSKY’S 2020 LINEUP
Kicking things off was Austro-Swedish
brand Husqvarna which has given both its
FC and TC ranges a refresh for the 2020
model year, with new bikes expected to
land later this year.
The 2020 Husqvarna motocross range
features nine premium mini and full-
size machines which feature carefully
considered developments targeted at
further improving the cutting-edge Husky
motocross line-up.
Following on from the introduction of
the 2019 motocross models, Husqvarna
Motorcycles engineers worked to refine
the handling, aesthetics and overall
performance of the FC and TC models.
Continuing to develop motorcycles that

are more agile, more powerful and more
ergonomically advanced, the 2020 range
sees upgrades to the FC250, FC350, FC450
four-strokes and TC125 and TC250 two-
stroke machines, as well as to the mini
class TC 50. Most obviously, the 2020 bikes
feature new graphics that Husqvarna says
offer a modern-day salute to the brand’s
racing history.
Underneath the new progressive
bodywork (which have optimised
ergonomics) is the familiar combo of
Chromoly steel frames that ensure
precisely engineered flex characteristics
and Husqvarna Motorcycles’ innovative
two-piece composite subframe.
