Husaberg TE300

The Basics

Already in it's first year on the market the TE 300 has made a lasting impression on the 2-stroke Enduro community. Be it the Indoor Enduro World Championship, the most renowned Extreme Enduro races, the EWC or big-bore 2-stroke shoot outs, the TE 300 came out on top in most instances.

Besides Joakim Ljunggren's Vice-World Championship title in the 2011 IEWC perhaps the most impressive demonstration of the TE 300s potential is watching Graham Jarvis ride it. He was already an impressive artist on two wheels before but the change to the TE 300 has taken his riding to a whole new level. Unchallenged victories at the Extreme Lagares, Hell’s Gate and Tough One are the proof. For model year 2012 a new cylinder provides even more bottom end torque and adds to the perfect package when the going gets rough.

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.
