2022 HUSKY TREK (‘QLD COUNTRY’): ANNOUNCED

Ask any Husky dealer what’s driven sales of the 701 Enduro model in the past few years, and most of them will point to the impact made by the Husky 701 Trek – one of the very few single-model adventure rides on offer in Australia; a marketing initiative that’s paid serious dividends for the brand.

After the epic “Northern Explorer” Husky Trek in 2021 that took in some of northern NSW’s best trails, Husqvarna Motorcycles Australia has announced the 2022 edition of the Husky Trek, which is set to take in Queensland on August 14-19 and will see a few changes this year – an extra’s day’s riding plus the addition of the soon-to-be-released Husqvarna 901 Norden as an eligible model.

Here’s the announcement from Husqvarna, which includes a teaser video and links through to full details…

Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to announce the return of the Husky Trek for 2022, with the addition of a new Husky adventure model and an extra day of riding through the ‘Queensland Country’ from Sunday August 14th to Friday August 19th.

Taking in the Husqvarna Motorcycles mantra of “FOR PIONEERS”, this five-day motorcycle adventure ride offers 701 Enduro and Norden 901 riders a chance to explore an outstanding part of Australia, with like-minded adventurers.

True to a pioneering spirit, the Husky Trek has progressed from being the “701 Enduro Trek” single-model ride, to the 2022 “Husky Trek” adventure ride and welcomes riders on the new addition to the Husqvarna Motorcycles travel range: the Norden 901.

Starting and finishing our journey at the unique Bunya Mountains, a spectacular wilderness range forming an isolated section of the Great Dividing Range, the route will then head north with another two nights at Gayndah, offering riders a very special loop on Day 3 that will traverse through a private 1500-acre property, thanks to one of our own Husky riders! And finishing out the five days of adventure, the ride heads through Gympie and back to Bunya Mountains, taking in a variety of terrain from lush loamy rainforests to flowing forest tracks, single track with creek crossings and open gravel roads winding through endless cattle country.

Open to riders on Husky 701 Enduro, 701 Enduro LR or Norden 901 motorcycles, the Husky Trek is tailored to suit a wide range of rider abilities. The main route will be achievable for first-time adventurers with a little bit of off-road experience, with the optional hard routes keeping things spicy for riders who like to continually challenge themselves.

The Husky Trek is about offering a great experience to our Husky adventure riders by taking on all the hard work of planning a ride so they can truly enjoy their adventure. With lead riders, sweep riders, GPS routes, luggage support, technical support, medical support, a back-up vehicle, dinner included every night, and a photographer and videographer along to capture the memories – let Husky cover the details, so you can enjoy the good stuff.

Price for the 2022 Husky Trek is $1795 per rider, accommodation not included. Registrations open for the 2022 Husqvarna Motorcycles Husky Trek: Queensland Country on Wednesday, March 9th at 12.00pm AEDT (with dealers receiving priority registration information).
