Husqvarna Dirt Bikes And Their History - 2010 Models
Long before their dirt bikes began rolling out, Husqvarna had been supplying the Swedish Army with rifles. Since 1689 to be precise. They then began producing bicycles in the late 19th century which progressed into motorcycles. In the late 1920's Husqvarna began focusing on international competitions which caught the attention of other European countries. This resulted in an increase of popularity and sales of Husqvarna dirt bikes. Come the 1970's and early eighties Husqvarna dirt bikes were dominating the off-road racing scene. But despite their success they found themselves close to going out of business. In 1986 the motorcycle division was sold to an Italian company called the Cagiva Group, who subsequently turned them back around. Since then the Husky range has been designed and produced entirely in Varese, Italy. Now, after all these years and boasting 74 world titles achieved in Motocross, Enduro, and Supermotard, Husqvarna has once again changed hands - this time to the BMW Group (Oct 1st 2007). So, next time you see a Husqvarna dirt bike fly by, spare a thought about their history, and where they've come from. The Husky Show must go on... 2010 Husqvarna Dirt Bike Pics & Specs
TE 510 The TE 510 is the gruntiest Husky available and has enough power to keep the most daring entertained. A small number of changes have been made this year which include... A new front and rear light. New stronger, more flexible plastics with updated graphics which not only look sharper but are more resilient. New Kayaba 48mm fully adjustable forks have been added for better handling and shock absorption. The overall weight has decreased while at the same time the frame has been strengthened. The swingarm has also been shortened by 15mm for improved maneuverability. If you're after a quality enduro weapon, this could be for you.
TC 450 This bike has had some great success in previous MX3 Motocross World Championships and has been refined using the experience of the riders and mechanics to bring you another well engineered European motocrosser. Changes this year include new Kayaba upside down forks and steering clamps. A shortened swingarm for better maneuverability and rear suspension. Modified carburetor settings. New radiator hoses and a stronger water pump for improved engine cooling. And it doesn't look to bad either!
WR 300 The WR 300 is a relatively new member of the Husky family and has become a hugely popular one at that. The perfect enduro weapon - this two stroke is powerful, light and nimble. The suspension has been dialed to ensure smooth handling over rough terrain. It boasts a completely new exhaust pipe and stronger more flexible graphics and plastics. Otherwise it's the same well designed bike it was last year.
TC 250 The TC 250 motocrosser was previously only available to racing teams and certain Husqvarna customers. The good news for you is that it's now available to the general public. This four-stroke 250 has performed well in the European Motocross Championships and is now ready to go head to head with the Japanese bikes. As with the other Husky bikes, the swingarm has been shortened by 15mm for better handling. New wheel hubs and spindles have been added. The plastics and graphics are stronger and visually appealing. And there have been significant modifications to the engine making it faster with a more even power delivery.
CR 125 Attention all young motocrossers! The CR 125 two-stroke is lightweight, quick and easy to throw around. 2010 has brought a whole stack of changes to make this great bike even better. It has a redesigned, reinforced frame. New Kayaba 48mm forks and improved shock absorber settings make for better handling and maneuverability. The plastics and graphics have been upgraded and the exhaust pipe has been modified for more low down power. Husqvarna Dirt Bikes - Got Any Dirt Bike Insurance For Yours?

Husqvarna dirt bikes (or more commonly known as Huskys) came into production in 1903, in a place called (strangely enough) Huskvarna, in Sweden.
