2019 HUSQVARNA TC 125 & TC 250
FIRST TEST
P90
The acceleration of this bike is
absolutely fantastic, and I can't think
of a better bike to pass people on the
exit of corners. It simply goes when
your wrist moves. Thanks to its light
weight and awesome balance, quick
changes of direction mid-corner,
mid-jump, mid-straight are nearly ef-
fortless. And the simplicity of it all has
me thinking hard about what bike I'd
buy to ride and race this year.
I feel the Husqvarna TC 250
checks off all the boxes for diehard,
old-school two-stroke fans and for
racers looking to compete in classes
full of 450s. As a vet-class rider, it's
hard to not choose a 450 to stay with
the punch-it-on-the-straights crowd
and their strangely modified 450s.
But now I could see a TC 250 being
a better weapon in the long haul with
less year-over-year cost. Also, I'd
need a little corner-speed practice.
The bottom line is the 2019
Husqvarna TC 250 is massively mod-
ern and nicely updated, once again,
to be a better motocross machine
that's easier to go faster on. But it
still holds true to the gnarly heritage
of 250 two-strokes. This class of
bike commands respect when ridden
well and they absolutely shine when
you're on your game.
And isn't that the point of moto-
cross? It's not supposed to be an
automatic success story. It's sup-
posed to favor those who are on their
game. The TC 250 is worthy of your
attempts. CN
The TC 250
loves the loam
with its snappy
and powerful
engine.
