2006 Husqvarna models
START HELP
After years of financial uncertainty in Italian off-roading-
Specialists Husqvarna came in December
last year the redemption: the
Malaysian car manufacturer Proton ensured the solvency of the parent company MV Agusta s.p.a., which houses three brands with Cagiva, Husqvarna and MV Agusta, with a financial injection of 70 million euros. To that extent it is acceptable that the four-stroke off-roaders, which have only been delivered haltingly since their presentation in 2003, are more evolution than revolution for the 2006 season
is hip. The compact engine design and the double-cam cylinder head remain basically unchanged. Maybe that’s a good thing, because in the enduro profession, the huskies still have the reputation of the high-traction competition machine.
And it is precisely this character that the TE 450 and retain TE 510 even after the current facelift. The spa package with enlarged valve diameters, modified camshafts, reinforced pistons and connecting rods as well as a new silencer preserved the legendary efficiency of the Blue-Yellows. With a gentle onset of power output, the huskies long for the tight winding of enduro special stages or slippery driveways. The 510 in particular surprises with an amazing smoothness and controllability for this class. The upside-down fork with 50-millimeter sliding tubes from Marzocchi still shines with excellent responsiveness and very comfortable set-up, while the Sachs shock absorber
tends to be tighter.
The TE 250 that with the same
technical updates as their bigger sisters are supplied, however, pays tribute to the Husqvarna modular system. Modern quarter-liter four-stroke engines require reduced engine dimensions adapted to this displacement class.

This season was still reserved for the factory machines and the Supermoto models, the TC bikes received an Ohlins monoshock, which does not give up after half an hour on the cross piste, as well as a high quality-
More version of the Marzocchi fork with a closed damping system. The e-starter, which is particularly popular with hobby crossers, is now an option and costs an extra four kilos and an extra charge of 700 euros. Also striking: the new silencer, which complies with the noise limit value, which has been reduced in motocross from 98 to 96 dB (A) since 2006. pm
