QUICKSPIN I 2022 HUSQVARNA TC 250
P94
H
usqvarna has been on the
two-stroke trip for a long
time. And the brand isn't
backing down anytime soon. It's
flagship two-stroke motocross
model, the TC 250, is back
again for 2022 and retains class-
leading componentry and ultra-
modern, ultra-light performance.
We stole the latest pre-mixer for
a few weeks of track-day flogging
and this is what we think!
Our first break-in ride on the
Husqvarna TC 250 was at the
Maxima 927 ride day at Fox
Raceway (Pala) in Southern
California. The track was full of
smokers, new and old, and the
Husqvarna is always a head-
turner in a crowd. While the Husky
isn't "all-new" this year, like most
of the bikes coming from Austria,
it comes into the 2022 season
packed with all the quality and per-
formance you've come to expect.
A classic two-stroke power-
band quickly makes its presence
known on the TC. The engine
is strong and provides a hearty
pull from bottom to mid. A quick
feather of the clutch and the bike
really wakes up. Close to the
top of the rev range, though, we
experienced a touch of premature
sign off and were forced to short
shift in some sections of the track
to stay in the meat of the power.
But that was about it as far as any
