HUSQVARNA OFF-ROAD LINE, 2018

 

Husqvarna just released its new line of off-road bikes, including a fuel-injected two-stroke. The TE250i uses transfer port injection, just like the KTM 250XCW TCI introduced last month. The Husky release also includes the FE dual-sport bikes and the TX150 off-road competition two-stroke. The official press release is below.

Introducing the next generation of 2-stroke machines,  the all-new, electronic fuel-injected TE 250i.

Husqvarna’s latest enduro offering delivers unprecedented advantages in terms of performance, rideability, fuel consumption and ease of use. The introduction of electronic fuel injection by Husqvarna Motorcycles represents a bold new step into the future of off-road motorcycling.

Together with the fuel-injected 2-stroke, Husqvarna Motorcycles presents a heavily updated range of TE and FE machines for model year 2018.
