Husqvarna
Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century. In 1903, they made the jump to motorcycle manufacturing. In 1920 Husqvarna established its own engine factory and the first engine to be designed was a 550 cc four-stroke 50-degree side-valve V-twin engine, similar to those made by companies like Harley-Davidson and Indian. Although they once made motorcycles for street use and raced at road circuits such as the Isle of Man TT prior to World War II they are more well known for producing World Championship winning motocross and enduro bikes today.

TE 510 2008
The bodywork is all new, having a fuel tank equipped with fuel pump for Enduro injection models, with 8 litres capacity. New is also the tank cap, easier to open. All Motocross and Enduro models will have new “fatbar” Tommaselli and new handlebar clamps. 250, 450 and 510 Enduro engines adopt a fuel injection system developed in collaboration with Mikuni. Motocross engines are with carburettors. Enduro and Motocross models have both a new kick start system, but TE models are also equipped with electric starter. The engines have been improved to be more functional and have better reliability thanks to the use of a new valve lifting system, new chain tensioner, and clutch basket. New are the exhaust systems that are now positioned on the left hand side of the motorcycle. Even the engine’s look has been revised. Black mat paint for the crankcase, aluminium colour for both cylinder and head, valve cover in “racing red”.
TE 450 2008
The frame is a semi-perimeter steel structure having oval and box tubes and a steering angle between 26° and 28°. The advantages of this new frame are that it permits a very advanced riding position with ergonomics designed to make riders of varying statures better fit into the ideal riding position, both while sitting and standing on the footpegs. Steering "stoppers" are new and positioned on the frame. Footrests have been moved forward by 15 mm. The aluminium engine guards and frame guards have also been redesigned to be more compact and light. The tank has been modified and is mounted both on Motocross and Enduro models. The rear suspension is completely new, with a brand new link, new swingarm and a new offset Sachs shock absorber, revised for new progression. The new rear suspension has been designed with the intent of reducing the load on the frame which is lower by 40% compared to 2007 models. The new shock absorber has an 18mm piston in place of the previous 16mm type, with more oil flow thereby offering improved adjustability. New is the sub frame, reducing by 2.2 lbs the assembly of rear frame, seat and new airbox. The new design of frame/suspension allows for a straight air inlet duct with notable benefits in terms of air intake.
TE 250 2008
An injection of innovation. This can synthesize the work done by Husqvarna on new Motocross and Enduro four stroke 2008 models. The chassis is completely new: frame, rear suspension, rear frame, ergonomics and plastics. Enduro engines are equipped with fuel injection. The new Motocross and Enduro 2008 range is lighter, lower and slimmer through the use of completely different geometries compared to 2007 models. The seat is lower by 10 mm, radiator panels are 40mm less in width. The motorcycle’s total weight is now 8.8 lbs less than the 2007 model.
WR 250 2008
The tireless WR 250 has benefited from a number of changes for 2008. The improvements include new tapered Tommaselli handlebars with no cross bar, new handlebar clamps on an adjustable steering plate, new 45 mm Marzocchi forks with black struts and a new Sachs shock absorber.
WR 125 2008
The Husqvarna WR 125 is the two-stroke Enduro bike that keeps on winning even when up against more powerful 250 cc four-stroke machines. Bartosz Oblucki's wins in the 2006 World and European Championships prove just that. The same block as on the CR has been fitted to the new 2008 version of the WR 125 along with a new crankshaft, a modified guard and closer second gear ratios to allow the rider better performance on exiting corners. As on all the two-stroke models, the forks are 45 mm Marzocchi with black struts and the rear suspension features a Sachs shock absorber with integrated reservoir. The new tapered Tommaselli handlebars have no cross bar and are the same as those fitted to the CR with new clamps that allow the riding position to be customised.
TC 450 2008
The frame is a semi-perimeter steel structure having oval and box tubes and a steering angle between 26° and 28°. The advantages of this new frame are that it permits a very advanced riding position with ergonomics designed to make riders of varying statures better fit into the ideal riding position, both while sitting and standing on the footpegs.

CR 125 2008
Husqvarna have used all their experience in giving the two-stroke CR 125 a comprehensive "make over". The company still has great faith in the 125 as an introductory machine for younger riders moving up from minicross to their first real motorbike and the 125 is a highly competitive ready-to-race product. The block is completely new and now features 5 transfer ports for more power and better delivery at all engine speeds. Modifications have also been made to the inlet and exhaust ports for better performance. The exhaust valves too have been redesigned to optimise exhaust gas sealing. The connectors for the external valve breathers have been removed and valve lever pressure is now regulated by grooves on the new valves. The CR 125 now has 45 mm Marzocchi forks with black covers and a new Sachs shock absorber.
TXC 510 2008
A completely new model, the TXC was designed and built to suit the unique racing and riding styles so prominent in many regions of North America. Starting with the TC motocross engine, offering a more pronounced “hit” and slightly quicker building rev’s than the enduro models, the power-band of this bike is better suited for the somewhat more open terrain and trails. Allowing this new bike to achieve the top speeds associated with this style of riding, a six-speed transmission was installed in place of the motocrosser’s five-speed. As with its fuel injected siblings, the carbureted TXC has a longer and straighter intake tract, improving power and throttle response across the entire RPM range. The new exhaust system is now routed to the left of the bike to facilitate the new air box / manifold design. To be better prepared for rocks and other tire eating hazards, the TXC’s are also fitted with eighteen-inch rims. Lastly, so starting is never an issue far from the truck, both electric and kick-start assemblies are standard issue on this revolutionary machine.

SM 450RR 2008
For those wanting a ready-to-race machine, Husqvarna will present a limited edition version of the SM 450 RR at the Milan Motorcycle Show. This will be an exact replica of the machine used by Adrien Chareyre in the S1 class of the World Supermoto Championship series that has just ended. Only 100 units will be made. Off-road enthusiasts will be more than happy with the wide range of accessories that will come as standard on this special. It features a TIG welded frame with adjustable steering head just like on the official Team Husqvarna machine. It will also feature a black anodised swingarm that improves traction and manoeuvrability.
SM 610 2007
Hard core but not as hard edged as its SMR siblings the SM 610 is there for those that want a little more street refinement before they tackle the long road ahead. The SM 610 packs plenty of useable torquey power for any type of riding whether it be a city commute or a journey on the open road. Still big on features like the oversized 320mm Brembo front disc brake, fully adjustable 45 mm Marzocchi forks and Sachs rear shock, stubby front guard and fat rear road going rubber the SM610 is certainly no push over. Road comforts include a thickly padded seat, rubbered footpegs, large 12.5 litre tank and a carry rack so you decide when to stop. It's fun for the long and short hauls and you can't beat riding a dirt bike built for the road. There's only one problem - You have two colour options - Red / White or dark storm grey.
SM 510R 2008
SM 450 and 510 engines now have electronic injection developed in collaboration with Mikuni. This includes a Mikuni “return-less” fuel injection system with 42mm throttle body. New ECM - new management software. New Kokusan alternator unit Although the new SM 450 and 510 come with electric starters, a kick start mechanism is available as an optional extra. Both engines have been renovated to provide improved reliability and they now include items such the new valve-lifting system, new chain tensioners and clutch units. The new oil filter unit is housed in the right engine shield and has an oil level inspection port. The new exhaust systems now run along the left side. Engine looks too have changed. The blocks are matt black while the cylinders and heads are aluminium coloured. The rocker boxes are racing red.
