2024 Husqvarna Enduro Motorcycles First Look

Cycle News Staff | June 17, 2023

Husqvarna Motorcycles announces the 2024 TE, FE, FEs and FEw enduro machines, which are updated with new frames, subframes, bodywork, suspension and brakes.

Here is more from Husqvarna’s press release…

Offering predictable damping, the new, enduro-specific WP suspension allows riders to conquer technical sections in complete confidence and control. The all-new WP Xact closed-cartridge spring forks incorporate a mid-valve piston for smooth action and consistent performance, while a hydrostop in the final 68 mm of travel helps maintain forward momentum. A redesigned WP XACT shock features a new piston to improve comfort and is 100 g lighter and 15mm shorter, while retaining 300 mm of travel. Both the fork and shock settings can be adjusted by hand for a fast and easy personalized setup.

Designed to work in perfect harmony with the WP suspension, the new chromium molybdenum steel frame improves anti-squat behavior and offers revised flex characteristics to deliver exceptionally agile handling with confidence-inspiring straight-line stability. A new and much more durable hybrid subframe guarantees enhanced rider comfort for each machine.

Wrapped around the new chassis is new bodywork that is adorned with modern, Swedish-inspired graphics and a new high-grip seat cover. Offering an improved rider triangle, which ensures more knee contact and better control, the slim design of the bodywork also offers complete freedom of movement when riding standing up. The updated bodywork is complete with a redesigned headlight producing a brighter light output and is installed using a much more efficient and user-friendly mounting system.

For the new generation, the TE 150, TE 250, and TE 300 2-stroke models are now powered by new engines fueled using Throttle Body Injection (TBI) technology. Introduced to ensure these lightweight machines maintain their best-in-class performance, TBI guarantees a much more consistent and controllable spread of power throughout the rev range, even in the toughest of conditions. These machines take the enduro riding experience to new levels thanks to advanced electronics and a new electronic power valve. The EMS allows each machine to offer two pre-set riding maps to suit varying terrain, with each gear selected engaging a tailored power delivery.

The 4-stroke range for 2024 includes the competition FE 450, the dual-sport FE 350s and FE 501s, and the new, 50-state off-highway compliant FE 350w and FE 501w models, which both also feature USFS approved spark arrestors. Each “w” model is designed to open new ground for off-road riding.

Each 4-stroke powered machine benefits from new and much more compact engines. These are positioned in the frame two degrees backwards when compared to the previous generation, which further centralizes mass and contributes to the improved anti-squat behavior of the chassis. In addition, these engines are designed to position all major components as centrally as possible for improved handling and to generate maximum torque and power.

Like the 2-stroke TE range, the FE 450 competition model also features two pre-set riding maps with additional rider aids including Traction Control and a Quickshifter for positive, clutchless upshifts, even under heavy load.

The full enduro lineup is complete with premium components shared across the range, including a new LED headlight, BrakeTec brakes with high performance GSK discs, a combined start/stop button, and ProTaper handlebars.
