For 2025, the TC 65 comfortably holds its position as the best-in-class 65 cc motocross machine. For many young riders it will be their first experience of riding motocross with a manual clutch and gears with the lightweight hydraulic clutch and smooth shifting 6-speed gearbox making this experience easy. Able to accommodate a wide range of youngsters, the TC 65 offers multiple ways to adjust the ergonomics of the chassis. In terms of performance, the exhaust, DS clutch, Formula brakes, and large Twin Air filter combine to create the ultimate riding experience.
Bodywork
The clean and sleek bodywork offers proven and comfortable ergonomics. Youngsters will benefit from the large contact points that allow them to grip the bike tighter with their legs for enhanced control. A flat seat profile also offers unrestricted movement.
Airbox
The process to remove and reinstall the air filter is simplified for 2025 and allows for faster, cleaner, and easier filter changes. With a redesigned airbox, accessible by removing the quick release seat by hand, the introduction of a snap lock mounting design for the air filter is fail proof and prevents dirt from falling into the intake tract. Additionally, the Twin Air filter has a larger surface area for increased air flow into the engine.
Handlebars & grips
High-quality aluminium handlebars with a black anodised finish ensure reduced vibration and maximum stability. The wider handlebars enhance comfort, which leads to better body positioning with thin diameter ODI grips allowing for a heightened level of control.
Adjustable ergonomics
To accommodate youngsters of different sizes, the TC 65 now offers multiple adjustment options to suit a wider range of riders, based on their height and set-up preference. The handlebars can be mounted in four different positions, the rear shock can be positioned from standard high position into a lower setting, and the subframe and bodywork can be installed in two different places to suit each individual rider.
Frame
The TC 65 frame is made from chromium molybdenum steel and enhances the riding experience thanks to its precise geometry and flex. Mirroring a proven design concept, the shock is not connected to the upper frame tube to reduce the energy transferred through the chassis, which leads to greater stability. Frame protectors with a textured surface enhance control in all conditions and protects the dark blue metallic powder coating from wear.
Subframe
The lightweight and durable subframe is manufactured using a combination of polyamide reinforced with glass fibre and two steel bars. This new hybrid construction was first used on our full-size motocross models and now, with its reliability proven, can be found on the TC 65. Besides being robust, the subframe plays a vital role in ensuring outstanding handling and is height adjustable to offer tailored ergonomics adapting to the height of the rider.
Engine
Assembled with the latest in 2-stroke technology, the TC 65 is a highly competitive machine. Using the lightest and most durable materials to construct each component, the highlight of the engine is undoubtedly the pressure-controlled exhaust valve that ensures the highest level of performance. Additionally, the engine is complete with a manual 6-speed gearbox, a reliable hydraulic clutch, and a BRISK spark plug.
Cylinder & piston
The lightweight and durable aluminium cylinder features a Pressure Controlled Exhaust Valve (PCEV) that helps produce unrivalled performance to give all young riders a distinct advantage.
Transmission
Retaining the proven gear ratios developed specifically for the TC 65, the 6-speed transmission is now manufactured to be more durable by combining stronger steel with a revised production process.
