Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a full-size 85cc competition motocrosser built for skilled young or lightweight racers rather than beginners, given its small wheels, high seat height, and race-focused ergonomics.
PurposeIt exists purely for competitive motocross racing on prepared tracks, not for street riding, commuting, or general recreation.
Rider FitThe tiny 68 kg dry weight makes it extremely flickable, but the 855 mm seat height and stiff long-travel suspension demand an athletic, race-oriented riding style suited to smaller or younger riders.
CharacterSharp, revvy, and explosive in the way small-bore two-strokes are, rewarding aggressive throttle control and precise body positioning over raw power.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suitable for adult daily commuting, touring, passengers, or anyone seeking a comfortable, road-legal, or low-maintenance motorcycle.

2014 Husqvarna TC85 17-14 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 855mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2014 Husqvarna TC85 17-14, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
