Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is built for young, developing riders who already have basic off-road skills and are progressing through youth motocross ranks.
PurposeIt exists purely for competitive motocross racing on closed dirt tracks, not for transportation or leisure riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 53.5 kg dry weight and low seat height make it manageable for lightweight, smaller-stature junior riders rather than full-size adults.
CharacterIt's a sharp, high-revving two-stroke racer that rewards aggressive throttle control and quick body movement with explosive, playful power delivery.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suitable for adult commuters, touring riders, or anyone seeking a road-legal or beginner-friendly first bike.

2017 Husqvarna TC 65 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Husqvarna TC 65, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
