2016 Husqvarna Enduro Bikes

Husqvarna’s new 2016 enduro model range sees improvements and refinements, including engine, chassis and suspension upgrades focused on improving off-road performance.

From the light and super-agile two-stroke TE125 through to the breath taking performance of the four-stroke FE501, Husqvarna’s premium enduro bikes once again feature seven models to cater for the needs of both competitive racers and weekend trail warriors.

Chassis, suspension and engine enhancements are aimed to deliver a lighter, more comfortable and competitive ride. Upgraded suspension geometry and revised settings, combined with a standard handlebar map switch are aimed to improve handling, confidence and control.

On all 2016 Husqvarna enduro bikes, a new lighter 22mm front axle with optimised axle clamp dimensions replace the previous 26mm axle to offer improved stability and better front-end feel. Shorter axle clamp offset also helps improve fork function. High quality, anodised black CNC machined triple clamps on all bikes now feature a 22mm offset. Designed to evenly distribute the clamping force on the fork leg, when combined with the new front axle and axle clamp geometry, it ensures improved agility and stability. The triple clamps also allow for four handlebar positions to suit the needs of a wide variety of riders.

Complementing the front axle and triple clamp updates, the 4CS fork – now in its fourth year of production – has been further developed to improve damping, handling, plushness and rider comfort. Easy access clicker dials provide quick adjustments on the go. The high performance DCC (Dual Compression Control) rear link suspension made by WP has a revised setup perfectly matching the geometry and setup changes on the front-end, allowing riders to command trails with confidence.

An updated lightweight six-speed gearbox with enduro-specific gearing has been fitted to all enduro models to ensure easy and precise shifting. The DDS clutch system and the premium Brembo hydraulic system ensures the 2016 enduro range delivers smoother shifting and consistent clutch action. For 2016, the FE450 and FE501 clutch basket is 80 grams lighter.

Modifications to the lubrication system on the FE250 and FE350 improve lubrication in extreme conditions while also helping to prevent damage against excessive oil fill-up.

Further developments for 2016 see new fork protectors, a standard ignition map switch, GFK disc brakes (front and rear), lighter spokes with a weight saving of 100g, a sporty looking blue anodised Supersprox 2K rear sprocket, new seat cover and new colours and graphics that reflect Husqvarna’s traditional colours.
