of GP motocross competition and the
quality construction of skilled Swedish
craftsmen and you have the input to
build the best GP motocross frame
money can buy! Starting at the front, Husky forks have 7" of travel.
The pressure cast alloy lower legs are tough, yet light. Steering
geometry is the result of extensive testing. The frame itself is a
special heat-treated Swedish chrome-moly steel for light weight
competition strength. The rear suspension uses a special swing-arm
assemb ly that is also heat-treated to take the severe pressures of
. cantilevered shocks. Rear suspension measures 7.6" of travel.
The shocks are Girl ing , designed and manufactured to Husqvarna's
exacting competition specificat ions. Unlike the other gas shocks
that use a separate chamber for the gas, Husky/Girling shocks
use a gas /oil mixture in the same chamber t hat has proven to be
a superior des ign . . . . All toget her , the Husqvarna GP frame is the
exact duplicate of the frame used by Heikki Mikkola (1974 500
World Champion ), Brad Lackey (highest finishing American in
GP competition) and Kent Howerton (1974 Trans-AMA 250 series
winner). No matter what your riding style is, it'll improve with
a Husqvarna.
