TES ARE COMING!
M
ore two-strokes! Husky officially an-
nounced that it will import three ad-
ditional two-stroke off-road models for 2017.
They are the updated TE 250 and TE 300,
and a brand new TE 150, and they are all de-
signed more for trail and woods riding than
the more race-orientated TX line that was
introduced a few weeks earlier. The TE 150
replaces the former TE 125. All of the two-
stroke TE models are technically designated
as "closed-course" bikes.
Husky has not released much detailed technical information about
the bikes, but did claim that they are lighter. They appear to have many
changes, like all-new plastic and headlight, new Xplor 48 forks and a
new engine. The TE retains rear linkage suspension.
Cycle News already has plans to ride the three TE models in Swe-
den next month. CN
Husqvarna plans to bring three TE
two-stroke off-road models into
North America for 2017. The trail-
ready TE 150 (pictured), 250 and
300s, however, will be designated
as closed-course models.
HUSKY FES
GOES STREET-

H
usqvarna's FE line of 2017 off-road-
ers now makes up the company's
dual sport line, and has expanded to
four models: FE 250, FE 350, FE 450
and FE 501. The "S" designation of the
previous dual sport range has been
dropped for 2017. The previous dirt-
only FE models—the FE 501 and FE
350—have also been eliminated.
So Husky is now offering three basic
ranges of off-road bikes: The "X" range
(FX four-stroke and TX two-stroke)
closed-course (GNCC) range, the TE two-stroke enduro (closed-course) range,
and the FE (four-stroke) street-legal/enduro range.
The FEs are heavily changed, featuring new frames and motors based on the
FC motocrossers that received big updates in 2016. The FEs feature composite
carbon-fiber frames, WP Xplor 48 forks, and link-mounted rear suspension.
The FEs will be available in the fall of 2016. Prices have yet to be announced. CN
The FE is now
Husky's dual-sport
(street-legal) line.
No longer is there a
"green sticker" line,
just closed-course
(TX, FX and TE) and
street-legal (FE).
