The Husqvarna TE125 is a new street legal dirt bike created for young riders. It comes with a pretty aggressive style, 21 inch front and 18 inch rear tyres and a 9.5 liters fuel tank.

It is powered by a single cylinder, four-stroke, 124.45 ccm, liquid cooled engine which is kept in leash by a six speed constant mesh transmission.

The engine is mounted on a monobeam in Cr-Mo steel frame with a circular cross section and rear seat rail, also in steel.

To be able to deal with tough terrains without backing down, the bike needed a set of capable suspensions. Therefore the TE125 comes with a 40 mm front fork with 260 mm of effective stroke, while out back there is a single shock absorber with adjustable spring preload.

The motorcycle’s speed is kept under control by front floating calliper double piston brakes with a disc diameter of 260 mm, and rear floating calliper brakes with a disc diameter 220 mm.

Verdict

The TE 125 is a completely new bike, so it features the latest technologies developed by Husqvarna. The bike is aimed at young riders and in terms of style it draws inspiration from the bikes used in races by the official Husqvarna team.

The TE 125 is well built and all its mechanical parts are close in design and aesthetics to its bigger brothers.

As far as riding position is concerned, the 36" seat height is pretty tall, and the pegs are also a bit high on the frame.

Like any 125 cc bike, the TE won’t impress you with its speed, but the engine has enough grunt to help you reach almost any place without problems.

On the other hand, compared to some of its rivals the Huqvarna TE125 is a bit heavy. However, given the fact that this model intends to be a street legal, economical stripped down version of a competition bike its pedigree is acceptable.
