2013 Husqvarnas
Husqvarna took the wraps of its off-road, including
dual sport and motocross, models for 2013. The BMW-own company says it
will import 11 "re-vamped" models to the North American market in 2013.
There will again be four groups of models: Motocross (TC four-stroke,
CR two-stroke and GP), Cross-Country (TXC), Two-Stroke Cross-Country
(WR) and Dual Sport (TE). The four-stroke motors will again be based on
two platforms - the BMW-designed big-bore 449 and 510cc motors, and the
Husqvarna-built smaller-bore 250 and 310cc motors. All of the
two-stroke motors (CR/WR125, WR250 and WR300) are also pure Husky.
