Husqvarna Motocross 2027: New Look, Proven Technology, Same Platform

• Nine models from the TC 50 to the FC 450 with a new white chrome-molybdenum frame
• Two-strokes with Throttle Body Injection, four-strokes with quickshifter, traction control, and launch control
• US prices start at $5,199 (approximately 4,413 euros) for the TC 50 and go up to $11,749 (approximately 9,975 euros) for the FC 450

Husqvarna has refreshed its motocross model range for 2027, at least visually. All nine machines feature a white powder-coated chrome-molybdenum frame for the coming model year, along with fresh graphics and a color scheme that, according to the manufacturer, is meant to reference the brand’s Swedish roots. The announcement came in early May 2026, roughly one week after the presentation of the likewise updated KTM motocross models for 2027. Both brands belong to the Bajaj Group, following the Indian conglomerate’s acquisition of the KTM corporation.

What Is Actually New in the 2027 Husqvarna Motocross Range?

The short answer: mainly the looks. The technical foundation of all nine models remains unchanged from the previous year, according to available information. The proven platforms with WP XACT suspension, Brembo brakes, and ProTaper handlebars carry over. The engines of the full-size machines also receive no documented changes. What does change is the appearance: the white frame replaces the previous color scheme and is combined with blue and mustard-yellow accents that, according to Dirt Bike Magazine, define the new design theme.

Husqvarna itself phrases it cautiously in the official press release, speaking of a “refreshed” model range built around “proven platforms.” That sounds measured but essentially means: the engineers have not touched the fundamentals. Anyone already riding a 2026 Husqvarna motocross machine is getting the same package in technical terms.

Which Models Does the 2027 Husqvarna Motocross Range Include?

The lineup is divided into three categories: two-strokes, four-strokes, and minicycles. The full-size two-strokes comprise the TC 125, TC 250, and TC 300. The four-stroke range includes the FC 250, FC 350, and FC 450. The minicycle lineup consists of the TC 50, TC 65, and TC 85, with the latter available in two wheel size variants (17/14 inch and 19/16 inch).

What Technology Powers the Full-Size Models?

All six full-size machines feature the current WP XACT suspension components, which Husqvarna says are designed for a broad range of use from competition to recreational riding. The two-strokes feature Throttle Body Injection (TBI), a fuel injection technology that is intended to deliver smoother throttle response compared to traditional carburetor setups. The four-stroke models FC 250, FC 350, and FC 450 additionally offer a quickshifter, traction control, and launch control.

All models, regardless of engine type, feature two engine maps that can be selected via a multifunction map switch on the handlebar. Husqvarna also highlights in the North American press release that the powertrains meet current AMA and FIM noise regulations. Whether any actual modifications were made to the engines for this purpose, or whether the existing units were already compliant, is not clear from the available information.

For tires, Husqvarna uses Dunlop Geomax MX34 across the board. Brembo supplies the brakes, ProTaper the handlebars, Twin Air the air filters, and ODI the grips.

What Sets the Minicycles Apart from the Full-Size Models?

The three minicycles TC 50, TC 65, and TC 85 also receive the new white frame and fresh graphics but differ from the full-size models in several equipment details. Instead of Dunlop, they come equipped with Maxxis MaxxCross MX-ST tires. For brakes, the components come from Formula rather than Brembo, along with Galfer discs, Excel rims, and Neken handlebars.

The ergonomics of the TC 50 and TC 65 can be adjusted to accommodate the growth of young riders, according to the manufacturer. The WP XACT forks and XACT PDS shock absorber are also easily adjustable.

Unlike the full-size models, the minicycles do receive some minor technical changes according to the North American press release: the TC 50 gets a new primary nut on the crankshaft with a high-strength pre-coating intended to improve durability. The TC 65 receives a revised power valve design for greater reliability under race conditions. The TC 85 benefits from a new engine case and a revised kickstarter gear that reduce friction and make the starting process smoother.

How Much Do the 2027 Husqvarna Motocross Models Cost?

The two-stroke range starts with the TC 125 at $8,549 (approximately 7,258 euros), followed by the TC 300 at $9,699 (approximately 8,234 euros) and the TC 250 at $9,749 (approximately 8,277 euros). That the TC 300 is less expensive than the TC 250 is likely attributable to market demand and positioning.

Among the four-strokes, the FC 250 is priced at $10,799 (approximately 9,168 euros), the FC 350 at $11,199 (approximately 9,508 euros), and the flagship FC 450 at $11,749 (approximately 9,975 euros).

The minicycles start at $5,199 (approximately 4,413 euros) for the TC 50, followed by the TC 65 at $5,999 (approximately 5,093 euros) and the TC 85 at $7,149 (approximately 6,069 euros) for the 17/14-inch variant.

Husqvarna has not yet announced official prices for Europe. However, suggested retail prices for the North American market are available, with additional freight charges applying ($690 for full-size models, $425 for minicycles).

Husqvarna Under Bajaj: Less Innovation, More Cosmetics?

The 2027 motocross presentation is Husqvarna’s first product announcement this year and comes during a period of transition. Following the Bajaj Group’s acquisition of the KTM corporation and thus Husqvarna, a more restrained course is emerging. The simultaneously presented KTM motocross models for 2027 also remained technically unchanged.

There is also another change that is significant for the North American market: Husqvarna has announced it will dissolve its factory Rockstar Energy racing team after the current 2026 Supercross and Pro Motocross season. Instead, an engine leasing program is to be introduced through which independent teams can gain access to factory engines and suspension components. It remains to be seen how this strategic realignment will affect the brand’s perception and development in racing.

The motocross and minicycle models for 2027 are expected to be available from May 2026 at authorized Husqvarna dealers. Husqvarna offers a 12-month manufacturer warranty on the offroad models in selected markets, contingent upon adherence to prescribed service intervals at an authorized dealer.
