Husqvarna Motorcycles has announced the launch of the complete range of MY20 TE, FE and FEs models.

The revamped 2020 line-up of competition, off-road and dual-sport machines introduce key chassis, suspension and engine developments. Along with a new frame, subframe, shock linkage and bodywork, updated fork and shock settings. The entire Husqvarna Motorcycles off-road and dual-sport range promises to create more flow and confidence while riding.

FE 501 and FE 350

All-new for 2020 is the off-road only FE 501 and FE 350. These models are stripped down versions of their dual-sport counterparts, the FE 501s and FE 350s. They feature more aggressive mapping and a less restrictive power pack, resulting in a lighter overall weight (by 3.4-3.6 kg) and more usable power. The bikes come with handlebar-mounted select switch’s that allows the rider to select between two EFI maps, and Traction Control.

WP Suspension on all models

Updated 48 mm WP XPLOR front forks and WP XACT shocks offer simple adjustment, more consistent damping and better resistance to bottoming. Performance, comfort and traction are further enhanced thanks to the linkage system that reduces seat height.

An all-new TE 150i now stands beside the pioneering TE 250i and TE 300i, sharing the same proven 2-stroke fuel injection technology. Giving all the convenience of a modern 4-stroke at a fraction of the weight, the machine mixes a nimble and lightweight chassis with a compact and powerful engine.

The entire 4-stroke range features extensive engine upgrades for increased performance and rideability, with the FE 501 and FE 501s receiving a new cylinder head, as well as extensive revisions to the FE 350 and FE 350s engine.

Showcasing Husqvarna Motorcycles pioneering design direction, the MY20 off-road and dual-sport range features distinctive, new bodywork and graphics. Allowing riders to perform at the highest level for extended periods, the slimmed down bodywork and 10 mm reduction in seat height deliver ergonomics that ensure easier movement on the bike.
