Priced at an attractive US$ 7999, this machine is designed for riders who crave the thrill of off-road racing and the rugged terrain that demands superior handling and power. The TC449 is not just a motorcycle; it's a finely tuned instrument ready to tackle the toughest tracks with confidence and agility. With its striking red and white color scheme, it commands attention on and off the track, making it a worthy competitor in the 450cc category. At the heart of the TC449 lies a potent 449cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, engineered for both power and efficiency.

Coupled with a 5-speed gearbox and a multi-plate hydraulic clutch, the TC449 offers precision control and responsiveness, allowing riders to shift seamlessly through the gears, whether navigating tight corners or powering down straightaways. The bike's lightweight design, at just 108 kg (238.1 pounds), enhances its agility, making it a joy to ride on varied terrains. The 2012 TC449 boasts advanced technology and features that elevate the riding experience. Its double beam, double cradle frame constructed from high-resistance chromoly steel provides exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile. The front and rear suspension—featuring a 48mm Kayaba sealed cartridge USD fork and a Kayaba Progressive single shock—offers a generous travel of 300 mm (11.8 inches), ensuring that every bump and rut is absorbed, granting riders the confidence to push their limits. The hydraulic-operated brakes, with a 260 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, provide reliable stopping power when it counts. Additionally, the electric starter makes it easy to get back on the track quickly, while the 7.99-liter fuel tank ensures you have enough fuel for extended rides. ####
