HUSQVARNA REVEAL 2024 MINICYCLES

THREE HIGH PERFORMANCE MOTOCROSS MACHINES GIVE YOUNGSTERS A COMPETITIVE EDGE

Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to reveal its highly anticipated 2024 minicycle line-up. The brand’s two smallest machines – the TC 50 and TC 65 – are all-new and for the first time ever fully size adjustable, with multiple technical enhancements boosting performance and reliability. In addition, the class-leading TC 85 features the latest technology and race-tested components to give aspiring youngsters a competitive edge over their rivals..

Utilising much of the same technology found on the full-size motocross machines, the TC 50 provides the youngest racers with a highly capable, competition-focused motorcycle. Using statistical scientific data throughout the design process, the ergonomics have been perfected for youngsters and with adjustable bodywork, WP suspension and multiple handlebar mounting positions, riders can continue racing the TC 50 as they grow in size. 

The TC 65 offers the same adjustment options as the TC 50, which allows riders to continue developing their motocross skills aboard a familiar machine. A new, more compact and fully adjustable WP shock now offers less travel to improve the balance of the TC 65 and thanks to its revised mounting position on the new frame, more energy is now absorbed for greater comfort. Together with significant updates to the engine, which includes a new DS clutch and steel basket, more durable gearbox and machined crankcases, the on-track performance of the TC 65 reaches a higher level for 2024. 

Shared updates to both the TC 50 and TC 65 – including new exhausts, updated jetting settings and footrests – boost the overall performance and rideability, while all-new bodywork and graphics replicate the full-size models. Each machine is then equipped and finished with components from leading offroad brands including BRISK spark plugs, Formula brakes, MAXXIS tyres, ODI grips and Twin Air filters, creating a pair of best-in-class motocross machines. 

Completing the minicycle line-up is the popular and proven TC 85. Continuing to be the perfect platform for riders progressing from the TC 65 before transitioning to a full-size machine, the TC 85 offers youngsters the highest levels of performance, handling and reliability.

2024 Technical Highlights: 

  • Striking new white, grey and yellow graphics highlight Husqvarna Motorcycles’ Swedish heritage
  • New, scaled down bodywork replicates the look and feel of the full-size models
  • Improved TC 50 and TC 65 engines – broader and stronger power delivery

KTM STEPS UP ITS MINI-CROSS OFFERING

2024 KTM SX ‘Minis’ hit the track with a completely fresh approach in the development of READY TO RACE motocross machines aimed at grassroots racing.

Using scientific data, the 2024 KTM 50 SX has been developed to be as erganomically close to a scaled-down version of a full-size KTM SX machine as possible, with careful consideration given to young riders and body proportions compared to adults. This has been considered in the design and development phases of the 2024 KTM 50 SX as well as all of its components.

Likewise for the first time, the development of the 2024 KTM 65 SX was done in close collaboration with a number of international test riders, who have been successfully racing and testing the different development stages over the last two years. This has resulted in a brace of mini-crossers that not only look like miniature READY TO RACE motocross machines but also share a superior level of quality and attention to detail.

With top-level handling and performance being a critical and essential part of mini-cross, both the 2024 KTM 50 SX and 2024 KTM 65 SX are built around a new, advanced steel frame with a lightweight polyamide glass fibre reinforced steel 2-piece subframe.

This has allowed for a revolutionary change to mini-cross, in that the new frame allows for multi-adjustability to cater for different rider heights. Suspension, handlebar position, bodywork and subframe are now height adjustable to match the growing needs of young riders. Seat height is adjustable between 634 mm to 683 mm for the 2024 KTM 50 SX and 730 mm to 760 mm for the 2024 KTM 65 SX.

Regarding suspension updates, both mini-crossers feature the latest in suspension technology, with a 35 mm USD WP XACT AER fork taking charge at the front. On the rear, an all-new fully adjustable WP XACT monoshock is fitted for perfect balance and damping characteristics, with both models benefiting from revised fitment and geometry.

For model year 2024, the KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION will also find its way onto the track, boasting a brace of top-shelf high-performance components over and above the standard 2024 KTM 50 SX spec sheet.

Staying true to its name, the 2024 KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION is wrapped in a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing inspired graphics kit, with an orange, high grip diamante KTM FACTORY SEAT. Performance is also upped thanks to a full FMF exhaust system and Iridium BRISK FE-specific spark plug, making it the ideal choice for young up-and-coming champions.

The 2024 KTM Sportminicycle range is the perfect representation of KTM’s dedication to mini-cross, with the same amount of energy and attention to detail and created by the same passionate team in Austria who are also in charge of the race-proven full-size models.

The 2024 KTM Sportminicycle range is available to order now from Authorised KTM Dealers, with the first units due to land in UK showrooms from December 2023. Individual model retail prices as below.
KTM 50 SX 2024 – £3,999
