Built for the toughest enduro circuits, the Husqvarna WRE125 is ready to reward you with a thrilling riding experience every time you jump on its back.

This compact bike was carefully created to be the perfect learning tool for beginners and to make it more appealing to the customers, Husqvarna decided to give it a facelift for 2013.

The modifications include a revised color scheme with a white chassis and anodised black hubs as well as new handgrips and a fresh exhaust system and muffler.

Power comes from a single cylinder, two-stroke, 124.82 ccm (7.62 cubic inches), liquid cooled unit that is kept under control by a six speed transmission.

The ride quality is assured by a Marzocchi 40mm USD fork (it offers 260 mm of wheel travel) and a rear Sachs adjustable shock absorber with Soft Damp linkage (it offers 270 mm of wheel travel).
