Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purpose-built youth/small-rider motocross machine best suited to developing racers with prior dirt bike experience rather than complete beginners.
PurposeIt exists purely for motocross track competition, designed to help a young or lightweight rider progress through junior racing classes.
Rider FitIts ultra-light 67 kg dry weight and 850 mm seat height make it manageable for smaller or younger riders, though the two-stroke power delivery still demands active, energetic riding.
CharacterSharp, flickable, and explosive, this bike rewards aggressive throttle control and precise body positioning typical of small-bore two-stroke motocross machines.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for commuting, touring, passengers, or riders seeking a comfortable, road-going motorcycle.

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

Feet:

At 865mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2022 Husqvarna TC 85 17-14, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
