Built around Husqvarna's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2005 Husqvarna TC 450 pairs a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0 x 60.8 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the TC 450 measures 114.6 kg (253 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 980 mm (38.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.7-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
