The 2011 Husqvarna TE 250
The 2011 Husqvarna racing machine TE 250cc Enduro Bike:
Antoine Meo and Matti Seistola have tested and ridden to victory the TE250 dirt bike in the first part of the world enduro championship . Now it is ready to meet the wider public in the showrooms and at enduro races throughout the world.
The TE250 is without doubt the best performing and most wanted 250 cc four-stroke enduro of the moment.
For the enduro version the most important changes concern chassis parts , as the 2010 version engine already had a Mikuni fuel injection system.
The chassis has been redesigned and reinforced at the specific request of the official Ch Racing team. This Motorcycle has a streamlined area below the cradle preventing knocks from uneven surfaces.
The area around the footrest connections and rear brake pump connections has been improved to reduce contact with the heel and to facilitate movement by the rider on the pedals.
A single plate covers the footrest and rear brake pump/pedal connections.
The suspension has been optimized, with a dedicated setting for enduro racing, both for the Kayaba forks and the Sachs shock absorber.
The TE250 Engine
In order to better facing the longest and most extreme enduro trials the fuel tank capacity has been increased to 8.5 litres.
The tank has a new pump which enables 100% exploitation of fuel available.
The air box has been redesigned to better hold the filter sponge and improve resistance to water. Engine guards are made of a new material, providing better protection against knocks. Mirror-finish aluminium hubs are new, now with standard perforations.
The bodywork has new graphics on the tank side panels, with In Mould Plastic Decoration which is incorporated in the actual material, not applied afterwards. design and look of handguards included in the kit are also new.
The engine has been redesigned, improving power at low revs thanks to the ability to choose between 2 different CDI maps configuration through handlebar switch – for hard or soft ground, depending on the style of riding and condition of the track.
