Engineered by Husqvarna for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2008 Husqvarna TXC 450 features a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0 x 60.8 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.9:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the TXC 450 measures 103.9 kg (229 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 968 mm (38.1 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,595 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
