FIRST LOOK: 2025 HUSQVARNA ENDURO MODELS

Given that, just a year ago, Husqvarna updated literally 95% of the components used in their new-generation 2024-model enduro bikes, no one was expecting much more than some window-dressing refinements on the 2025-model FE and TE machines. Interestingly, though, this week’s unveiling of Husqvarna’s seven-model enduro range reveals there’s been a bit more than that.

Dyed-in-the-wool Husky fans will be stoked to hear that, after several years of using Magura and Braktec hydraulics for the enduro models’ clutch and/or brake systems (which, let’s say, were not universally liked), Husqvarna’s 2025 TE and FE models have returned to the tried and tested Brembo componentry for both their clutch and brakes. According to Husqvarna’s PR, this significant move to Brembo (which brings Husky’s 2025 enduro models back in line with the MXers and with their enduro and MX counterparts at KTM) was to “improve both performance and reliability”.

In addition to that, Husqvarna’s 2025 enduro models get a revision to their swingarm’s flex characteristics, and a design tweak to reduce wear on the chain slider – an issue created by the new-gen models’ exaggerated anti-squat chassis design. Plus, the range cops a fresh set of graphics for 2025.

Here’s Husqvarna’s PR, detailing the updates and technical highlights of their seven-strong 2025 enduro model line-up, which is expected to land in authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles dealers in Australia and New Zealand from September, 2024 (note that the 2025 TE125 model will not be available in either Oz or NZ).

Husqvarna Motorcycles is proud to announce its model enduro line-up for 2025. The impressive range comprises three two-stroke and four four-stroke machines – all expertly assembled with the latest technology and race-tested components to ensure best-in-class performance.

The proven Brembo components are new for all models in the line-up to improve both the performance and reliability of each machine. Further revisions include new, Swedish-inspired graphics and an updated swingarm to enhance the durability of the chain slider.

All two-stroke models – the TE150, TE250, and TE300 – are lightweight and highly capable enduro motorcycles. Offering easy maintenance, class-leading rideability, and an exceptional build quality, the range ensures all riders can take full advantage of the competitive edge that each machine provides.

For those who prefer high performance four-stroke enduro machinery, a choice of four established models is available – the FE250, FE350, FE450, and the FE501. Assembled with the latest technology throughout and electronic rider aids, including Traction Control and a Quickshifter, each machine delivers the torque and power riders need to master any terrain.
