Despite its relatively small size, Husqvarna has a very large dirt footprint, from full-on motocrosser to an expansive enduro lineup, and even a quartet of street-legal dual-sports.
Newest of the Husky dual-sports is the TE250, now with shorter suspension and a 2-inch lower seat height to make it more palatable for commuter duties.
The TE250 is very nimble, and it does well off-road despite its shorter suspension.
When the pavement ends, the TE250 keeps on truckin’.
The TE511 is Husky’s biggest dual-sport, but don’t let its name mislead you. Its engine displaces an actual 478cc, not 510 of them.
The TXC310 is all-new for 2012, boasting a noticeable increase in power over the mechanically similar TXC250.
It was fun to toss around the TXC310 on the undulating layout of the Carlsbad-replica MX track at The Ranch in Anza, California.
Husky’s CR125 two-stroke is incredibly light, weighing just 203 pounds. A 144cc big-bore kit is included at no extra charge.
