Husqvarna TC 125: 125 cm³ two-stroke motocross bike
Husqvarna TC 125 — a 125 cm³ two-stroke motocross bike produced since 2014. We look at the tech and what to check when buying used.
TC 125 in brief
The TC 125 is Husqvarna’s smallest two-stroke motocross bike for adults. It’s light, lively and demands an active riding style, as it delivers maximum power only at high revs.
This is a track bike, usually not suited for public roads.
Generations
Since 2014, the TC 125 has been updated several times: the frame, suspension and engine design have all changed. Newer generations are easier to handle and better balanced.
There’s a wide selection of used models, but condition varies greatly, so it’s crucial to know how the bike has been used.
Engine and gearbox
The bike uses a 125 cm³ single-cylinder two-stroke engine with a kick starter. Oil is mixed with fuel according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The gearbox is manual. The engine is very revvy, so it needs more frequent servicing than a four-stroke.
What to check when buying a used TC 125
The engine condition is key: ask when the piston and cylinder were last changed, how many hours the bike has done and what oil was used. Two-strokes need regular maintenance.
Inspect the frame, suspension, wheel spokes, brakes and plastics. Check for signs of damage or loose fasteners.
Find out if the bike was used for racing and what level of rider owned it.
