TE 450 2008

The frame is a semi-perimeter steel structure having oval and box tubes and a steering angle between 26° and 28°. The advantages of this new frame are that it permits a very advanced riding position with ergonomics designed to make riders of varying statures better fit into the ideal riding position, both while sitting and standing on the footpegs. Steering "stoppers" are new and positioned on the frame. Footrests have been moved forward by 15 mm. The aluminium engine guards and frame guards have also been redesigned to be more compact and light. The tank has been modified and is mounted both on Motocross and Enduro models.




Husqvarna created it so it would make a point in the highly acclaimed 250cc off-road category and considering the TE 250’s versatile character and impressive four-stroke power, we reckon they did a damn good job and the bike finds its honorable place among the best in the business.

Husqvarna first introduces the TE 250 in 2002 model year as an Enduro / off-road model participating in the race to celebrity and being powered by a 249.5cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine featuring four valves per cylinder and a bore and stroke of 76 x 55 mm. So apart from the carburetor, there isn’t much difference compared to the model reviewed today. There was also an E-starter fitted on the bike from the first day of production and that gets it even closer to what we are facing today.

Decisive for an Enduro bike is definitely the way it looks as the visual factor and the finishing touches have a significant impact on the sales charts and on how a bike is either appreciated or unappreciated.

Thank Husqvarna that the TE 250 completes with all the requirements and ends up being a beautiful trail machine. It not only attracts due to its slender and yet aggressive look, but thanks to the color combination which comes on all Husqvarna models.

The Red and White color scheme makes the Husky easy to identify and sets this maker apart from the strident colors used before the introduction of Red and White last year.
