Overview

Introducing the 2005 Husqvarna TC 510, a high-performance cross-motocross motorcycle that stands out for its remarkable blend of power, agility, and cutting-edge technology. Designed for both serious racers and passionate trail riders, the TC 510 embodies Husqvarna’s storied legacy in off-road performance. With its robust single-cylinder engine and lightweight chassis, this machine is built to tackle the toughest terrains with ease, offering riders a thrilling blend of speed and control. Whether you're hitting the motocross track or navigating through rugged trails, the TC 510 is engineered to deliver an exhilarating riding experience. At the heart of the TC 510 is a potent 500.82 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces impressive torque and horsepower. With a compression ratio of 12.5:1 and a bore and stroke of 96.8 x 67.8 mm, this bike excels in delivering the kind of punch that keeps riders glued to the seat. The Mikuni TMR 41 mm carburettor ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the digital ignition system guarantees precise timing for seamless power delivery. Coupled with a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive, riders can expect quick shifts and exceptional responsiveness, making this bike a true performer in competitive environments or challenging off-road conditions. Husqvarna has equipped the TC 510 with a range of features that enhance both performance and comfort. The advanced upside-down telescopic hydraulic fork at the front and a progressive ‘soft damp’ rear suspension with adjustable single shock absorber work together to provide a plush ride, absorbing bumps and maintaining stability even at high speeds. With a front travel of 300 mm and rear travel of 320 mm, riders will appreciate the bike's responsiveness and control over rough terrain. The braking system, featuring a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, ensures reliable stopping power when you need it most. Additionally, the bike's lightweight design, at 114.6 kg, and a ground clearance of 340 mm allow for agile maneuverability and confidence when tackling obstacles. **
