Husaberg TE250
The Basics
The TE 250 is tailored to the needs of 2-stroke aficionados who want to take on competition in the E2 class. With it's lively and powerful engine characteristics it's a very sporty bike.
The Details
Front Suspension
High-end Suspension made by WP, outstanding in the world of Enduro. The TE models are fitted with the latest WP up side-down forks with Closed Cartridge Technology
. Due to a separate, internally sealed damping unit these forks guarantee unique sensitivity and constant damping characteristics over the entire stroke. Adjustability of rebound and compression damping is standard as well. The setting is close to the one of the 2011 FE models and fits perfectly to the needs of a sporty enduro rider.
Rear Suspension
The rear PDS shock absorber has been set to suit perfectly the needs of pure Enduro applications. More comfort and better damping is nearly impossible. And for any fine-tuning the shock can be adjusted in rebound and high/low-speed compression damping.
Triple Clamps
The billet machined triple clamps of all Husaberg models are absolutely outstanding when it comes to standard equipment. They guarantee precise clamping of the fork legs supporting function and sensitivity of the forks.
Frame
The stable and lightweight frame made of high-strength chromoly steel, provides the right balance of stiffness and flexibility in order to guarantee maximal track stability and torsional stiffness. The high-quality coating is well protected by a skid plate and lateral frame guards.
Airbox
The voluminous airbox guarantees that the engine is getting plenty of fresh and clean air in order to produce maximum performance. The large Twin-Air foam filter is easy to access and can be changed within a few seconds.
Fuel Tank
The layout of the poly ethylene fuel tank of the TE models provides sufficient mileage and excellent Enduro ergonomics, which provide excellent contact to the bike. The volume of 11 litres is sufficient both for longer race stages and for extended day tours. The new translucent material makes it even easier to check the fuel level.
General Equipment
Husaberg motorcycles are known to be premium products. With many sophisticated technical solutions and details in conjunction with proven quality, the TE models meet this claim more than any other bike on the market. Just to name a few such as billet machined triple clamps, closed cartridge forks, CNC machined hubs or tapered handlebars. In model year 2012 the TE models will in addition be featuring an engine protector (not for TE 125), frame protection and MX handguards as standard.
Ergonomics & Graphics
The demands of Enduro riders are high when it comes to ergonomics. An Enduro bike should be slim in order to provide unlimited liberty of action and good contact points. Together with traditional colours and Husaberg distinctive graphics the new TE models hit the mark spot on!
Engine
The heart of the TE models is a compact and extra-lightweight 2-stroke engine with displacements of 124.8, 249 and 2 93.2 cc. These power plants feature the most modern and sophisticated 2-stroke technology such as exhaust power-valve or selectable ignition curves, which both allow the adjustability of the power delivery exactly to the needs of the rider. Or an extremely robust 6-speed transmission easy to shift and set up for the toughest Enduro rides. And not to forget the Brembo hydraulic clutch system or the small electric starter (TE 250/300 only), which is a major benefit, when the power of the rider starts to weaken.
Cylinder
The water cooled cylinders are the most important components when it comes to performance. It is not all about maximum power, but also excellent power delivery and torque. And in this regard the Husaberg motors are in a league of their own. The new cylinder for the TE 300 guarantees maximum traction and high performance at low RPMs in order to climb up the steepest hills playfully.
Ignition
The digital ignition is equipped with the two different ignition curves to be selected via a map select switch mounted as standard on the handle bar (only TE 250/ 300). This gives the rider the chance to choose either a soft
(smoother) or a strong
(aggressive) power delivery. Together with the three different power valve springs the rider has a very wide range of different engine characteristics.
Electric Starter
The life of Enduro riders has changed a lot, since the electric starter has been available for competition Enduros. So far this feature has mainly been applied to 4-strokes. But thanks to a sophisticated patent, which allows the starter motor to be mounted in a well protected position behind the exhaust pipe, both the TE 250 and the TE 300 are fitted with this magic button. This means a major advantage especially when the going gets tough!
Clutch
The hydraulic clutch made by Brembo is not only very comfortable, it also guarantees precise and easy modulation.
