Husqvarna took the wraps off its first 2014 model during last weekend’s Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in Germany, unveiling a KTM-inspired ‘Factory Edition’ TC300 two-stroke.

The bike on show at Teutschenthal was the brand new TC250, upgraded to 300cc with accessories soon to be available from the Husky Power range of special parts.

Decorated with official Husqvarna Factory Racing graphics it will feature numerous technical upgrades, among which will be a carbon fibre rear sub-frame, a full Akrapovic exhaust system, CNC machined hubs and triple clamps and WP suspension.

It’s the first of the Husqvarna’s displayed since KTM acquired the company earlier this year, the bike very similar to KTM’s existing range from a technological perspective.

Husqvarna will actively support the 300cc two-stroke European Motocross Championship and the wider use of two-stroke engine technology.

“Husqvarna is promoting and supporting the new European 300cc two-stroke championship because we think it will be a great class for talented, young, racers,” said Pit Beirer, head of KTM and Husqvarna Motorsport.

“It offers the right balance between great racing and costs. At present we are not involved in the European championship with a direct factory team, but we are in contact with many riders, through our subsidiaries and we’ve had a great number of requests regarding our two-stroke bikes for this new championship.

“In the near future you will see many of our two-stroke bikes competing in not only this exciting, new championship but at race tracks all over the world.”

Husqvarna will officially host its worldwide press event at Uddevalla, Sweden, on 5 October to introduce the entire range of 2014 models.
