Husqvarna’s installed their 2024 TE, FE, FEs, and FEw bikes with new engines, frames, subframes, bodywork, suspension, brakes, headlights, and electronics… in essence, we’ve got a whole new bike range with 95% new parts celebrating ten years of Husqvarna being under the KTM brand.
Pretty cool stuff.
We start with the floating duties; the change to adjustable WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks (and an equally adjustable WP XACT shock) results in fantastic response, while the addition of a mid-valve piston and hydrostop ensures smooth performance regardless of machine chosen.
For flex potential and anti-squat improvement, we’ve got the brand new chassis – a chromium molybdenum steel unit that carries a high-grip seat, shows off a better rider triangle, a smart design change in bodywork for more freedom riding in all positions, and a brighter headlight situ.
Husky’s two-stroke beauties – the TE 150, TE 250, and TE 300 – show off seamless Throttle Body Injection (TBI) tech, while the four-stroke offerings – the FE 450, FE 350s, FE 501s, and new FE 350w/FE 501w – boast a more compact and repositioned engine, for better mass centralization.
BRAKTEC stopping power with GSK discs, ProTaper handlebars, and Michelin enduro tires complete the range’s perks.
