PRODUCT GUIDE

Husqvarna’s legacy represents a unique chapter in the story of motorcycles.With a history spanning over 100 years, our bikes

have dominated all off-road categories, allowing us to capture 69 World Titles in Motocross, Enduro and Supermotard.

There are no secrets behind this huge success. Pure passion drives us to craft technologically superior bikes that satisfy

riders worldwide. With its new 2008 Enduro and Motocross range, Husqvarna wants to give to all off-roaders the chance

to take on new challenges and achieve even greater results. Our 2008 range stands apart from all other brands, thanks to our

continuing tradition of cutting-edge technology, unique style, and incomparable performance, with attention to the smallest

detail. Four-stroke TE/TC models have been completely redesigned along three main lines: handling, performance and style.

Two-stroke WR/CR models have been improved to make these bikes even more like the race models our Husqvarna Factory

Teams take to the track every weekend.

4-STROKE MODELS

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 1 kilo 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.

TC and USA TXC models feature the new Marzocchi 50mm

forks with new sealed pumping element, while for TE models,

forks come without the sealed cartridge.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 Enduro and Motocross models will

have new “fatbar” Tommaselli and new handlebar clamps.

An injection of innovation.This can synthesize the work done

by Husqvarna on new Enduro and Motocross four stroke

2008 models. The chassis is completely new: Frame, rear

suspension, rear frame, ergonomics and plastics. Enduro engines

are equipped with fuel injection. Let’s take it step-by-step.

FRAME

The new Enduro and Motocross 2008 range is lighter, lower

and slimmer through the use of completely different geome-

tries 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 4 kg less than the 2007 model.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

Enduro and Motocross 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%

ENGINE

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”.

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 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.

The tireless WR 250 too has benefited from the same

improvements as made to its smaller siblings.The improvements

include new tapered Tommaselli handlebars with no cross bar,

new handlebar clamps on the adjustable steering plate, new

45 mm Marzocchi forks with black struts and a new Sachs

shock absorber.
