DIRT NEWS HUSKY ROLLS INTO 2021 H ot on the heels of sister-brand KTM, Husqvarna has debuted its line of 2021 MX and Enduro models. The 2021 Husqvarna Motorcycles enduro range will start to be available in Australian and New Zealand dealers from October, with pricing to be released closer to local delivery. According to Husqvarna, the 2021 range of Enduro machines feature adjustable engine mapping as standard as well as electric starter systems, while all two-stroke and four-stroke engines benefit from the latest fuel injection technology. That’s on top of an advanced chassis including WP XPLOR forks and a WP XACT shock combined with the chromium-molybdenum steel frame, progressive bodywork and innovative two-piece carbon composite subframe. Husqvarna’s 2021 motocross range also features the latest technological advancements as well as all-new Swedish inspired graphics, giving Husqvarna Motorcycles’ latest TC and FC models a fresh and vibrant, tri-colour look.

Additionally, new low-friction linkage seals offer a refined suspension response on the WP XACT shock. KIWI RIDER 101
