The Husqvarna TE 250R has conquered a lot of fans since its inception and many consider it one of the most capable bikes in its class. The motorcycle has already proven its value wining the 2010 and 2011 WEC (World Enduro Championship) E1, so it certainly deserves its good reputation. What even better, is that the company decided to improve this successful model even more. Thereby, the Husqvarna TE 250R received a new, high performance cylinder head and fuel injection system for 2013. As a result the bike gets improvements in power delivery and throttle response, as well as a significant 8% increase in both power and torque figures.

On the other hand, Husqvarna’s engineers have spent a lot of time to improve the motorcycle’s safety. One of the most significant upgrades made in this department is the fresh handlebar protection which is offered as standard equipment for 2013. The bike has also received stiffer radiators and a new magnet in the crankcase which improve the reliability.

Overview

The best gets better, the 2010 and 2011 WEC (World Enduro Championship) E1 winner picks up an all new, high performance cylinder head and fuel injection system for 2013 to offer Husqvarna’s most potent 250cc X-Light engine ever.

Improvements in power delivery and throttle response further enhance the 2012 enduro 250cc shootout winner (Australasian Dirt Bike magazine).
