New 22 mm Front Axle
A new, lighter 22 mm front axle replaces the previous 26 mm axle. This smaller diameter not only reduces weight by 40 grams but also allows for shorter fork shoes. This results in less offset and increased trail for more stability with improved front end feel.

22 mm Offset CNC Triple Clamp
Black CNC machined triple clamps on all models now feature a 2 mm increase in offset to 22 mm, reducing trail and balancing the increased trail from the new fork shoes. An optimal balance between agility and stability has been achieved due to the combination of the new clamp and fork shoe offset.
The triple clamps are made from precisely machined high-quality materials and are anodized in a deep black. Designed to evenly distribute clamping force on the fork leg, the CNC clamps maximize contact area for world class sensitivity along with minimum friction. Accurate flex has been designed into the triple clamps, perfectly complementing the front fork to transfer detailed information to the rider. Four different handlebar positions ensure proper ergonomics for a wide variety of riders.

Revised 4CS Fork Settings
WP Suspension stands for top quality and offers the best performance levels available today. Precision engineering, quality materials and advanced production processes create the premium suspension on the Husqvarna model range. With a new offset on the triple clamp and fork shoes, the premium WP 4CS fork settings have been revised to suit the new front-end geometry. Now in its fourth year of production, the 4CS has achieved a perfect balance between performance, fell and reliability. Model-specific damping settings on the four-chamber system of the 4CS increase handling and plushness with more comfort – the ideal combination for off-road competition.

New Rear Shock Settings
The high performance DCC (Dual Compression Control) rear shock made by WP features revised damping to match the geometry and settings of the new front-end. Maximum feedback and comfort is guaranteed along with an excellent damping character specifically designed for off-road racing. The rear WP shock is fully-tunable with rebound, high/low speed compression and preload adjustment.

New Fork Protectors with Inmould Graphics
The fork protectors have been redesigned for improved access to the fork leg for easier maintenance and cleaning. No longer does the protector wrap around the lower leg which also makes for easier replacement. High quality inmould graphics in white plastic ensure long-lasting and stylish looks.

New Front and Rear Brake Discs
New brake discs by GFK on the front and rear feature stronger braking power and increased control.

New Lighter Spokes
The 2016 Husqvarna off-road range features lighter spokes for an overall unpsrung weight reduction of 100 grams to optimized handling.
Blue Anodized Rear Sprocket
Taking sporty looks to a new lever while improving quality and performance, a blue anodized Supersprox 2K rear sprocket has been added to the 2016 off-road range. The sprocket features a lightweight aluminum inner ring for 50% less unsprung weight matched to a high-strength steel outer ring of teeth for three times the durability of a full aluminum sprocket.

New Seat Cover
A new seat cover greatly improves grip compared to the previous material. Its deep blue color integrates perfectly with the new bodywork colors and graphics.

New Colors and Graphics
New color tones for the 2016 models have evolved into a dark blue pearl with bright yellow accents. The front fender, rear fender and headlight mask plastics are a bright white to complete the traditional Husqvarna color scheme.

The TE 125’s high performance 125 cc 2-stroke engine delivers 38 hp and strong torque across the entire rev range thanks to an advanced power valve that optimises power delivery. Boyesen reeds guarantee excellent response, durability and intake flow rates.

CYLINDER AND PISTON

The high performance cylinder, power valve and Vertex piston are designed to deliver strong bottom-end torque and high peak power while guaranteeing maximum reliability.

CLUTCH

Excellent clutch modulation, low maintenance and consistent behaviour are guaranteed by the German-made Magura hydraulic clutch. The clutch lever reduces the risk of breakage by rotating almost 90° in the event of a crash.

COOLING SYSTEM

WP Performance Systems radiators feature integrated routing into the frame. This system dissipates heat efficiently and guarantees optimal cooling and fitting thanks to reduced tubing.

CHROMOLY STEEL FRAME

High-strength steel of the highest quality is laser cut and robot welded to exacting standards by WP Performance Systems, according to precise torsional rigidity, longitudinal flex and weight defined by our R&D department. Finely-tuned torsional rigidity provides sharp handling and stability, while calculated longitudinal flex helps absorb impacts from the terrain, working together with the suspension for better comfort and greater feedback. The lightweight design allows riders to confidently pick faster lines while maintaining race-winning pace over extended periods of time.

POLYAMIDE REAR SUBFRAME

The lightweight, three-piece polyamide rear subframe is more flexible than a traditional aluminium rear subframe. Combined with the longitudinal flex of the frame and the rear linkage system, this gives riders a more comfortable and confidence-inspiring feeling on the bike, allowing them to push the limits in every condition and on any terrain. The design of the composite subframe features an integrated airbox and rear grab handles.

NEW DISC BRAKES

New disc brakes by GFK at the front and rear, feature stronger braking power and increased control with a new design.

NEW FRONT END GEOMETRY

Detail improvements and optimisation on the MY16 enduro bikes are based on the updated front end where a new 22mm front axle with specific fork shoes replaces the previous 26mm axle. The new axle is lighter, and the shoes have shorter offset and increased trail, for more stability and better front-end feel.

LINKAGE REAR SUSPENSION

Now in its third year of development, the rear linkage on the Husqvarna enduros has proven itself as the optimal choice for all riding styles and levels of rider ability. The versatile system performs well on the widest variety of terrain, from tight and technical trails, to wide open, high-speed tracks. The high level of comfort guaranteed by our linkage system allows riders to tackle rough terrain with optimal feeling and traction in every condition.

REVISED WP SHOCK SETUP

The high performance DCC (Dual Compression Control) rear shock made by WP Perfromance Systems has a revised setup and has been re-valved to match the geometry and setup changes on the front-end. The new setup features improved damping characteristics and balance. The DCC rear shock guarantees excellent damping characteristics, ensuring maximum feedback and comfort. The shock is completely adjustable for rebound and high/low speed compression damping.

NEW 4CS FORK SETUP

WP suspension stands for top quality and offers the best performance levels. Precision engineering, quality materials and advanced production processes characterise the WP forks on the Husqvarna model range. With the new offset on triple clamp and fork shoes, the 4CS setup has been revised to suit the new front-end geometry. Now in its 4th year of production, the 4CS fork has reached the perfect balance between performance, feeling and reliability.

ALUMINIUM SWINGARM

A great deal of development effort has been put into designing the aluminium swingarm to reach the incredible targets that our pro riders set. The precisely designed flex of the swingarm allows riders to accurately feel the terrain, enabling them to feed the right amount of power to the rear wheel in order to optimise traction and speed. The single component construction of the aluminium swingarm eliminates welding, providing more reliability, stability and safety, as well as superior quality and consistent behaviour over time compared to other construction processes.

LARGE CAPACITY FUEL TANK

The largest fuel tank in the competition enduro category is featured on the Husqvarna 2-strokes. Be it in typical European forest terrain or out in the wide-open spaces of Australia or the USA, the 11 litre fuel tank on the 2-strokes is 1.5 litres bigger than the closest rival. The polythene fuel tanks feature an easy opening bayonet-type filler cap.

TYRES AND WHEELS

World Championship level performance is guaranteed by Michelin Enduro Competition IV and III tyres front and back respectively. Black high-strength alloy rims by DID are matched to CNC machined hubs and silver anodised aluminium nipples, for reliable performance and modern looks.

TOOL-LESS AIR FILTER ACCESS

Tool-less access to the airbox, combined with a screwless air filter mounting system, makes air filter maintenance and inspection quick and easy. All models fit a Twin Air filter as standard and have specifically designed air intake snorkels for maximum power.

NEKEN HANDLEBAR

Silver anodised Neken tapered aluminium handlebars are a high quality standard component on the Husqvarna enduros.
