uphill, full-throttle charges, the
bike danced through and around
the biggest of four-stroke track
chop with ease.
The arm-pump monsters cer-
tainly reared their ugly little heads
on this baby, but it's not from a
comfort standpoint (hint; it's from
hanging on)! Maybe we should
all ride two-strokes more often?
The bike is narrow, and the
flat seat provides a very neutral
riding position that's easy to
move around on. Jumping is
effortless and it seems like you
can put this bike wherever you
want on the track, whenever you
want it to be there. Bar position
seems lower than others, but the
cockpit is ultra-precise at turn-
ing and picking lines mid-turn.
It feels light and nimble on the
track and tips the scales around
six pounds less than the FC 250
four-stroke.
Overall, riding the TC 250 sim-
ply reminds us, again, how fun
and competitive two-strokes are.
The TC 250 is just as competitive
as ever and the $8599 price tag
reflects a bike chock-full of pre-
mium parts like Brembo clutch
and brake components as well
as D.I.D Dirt Star rims, Dunlop
MX33 tires, ProTaper aluminum
handlebars and more.
For sure, two stroke die-
hards, once again, must con-
sider the Husqvarna when going
racing in 2022.
