2016 Husky’s: You Want Answers?

Dirt Bike Test is in Budd’s Creek, Maryland testing the new 2016 Husqvarna MX bikes both two-stroke and four. We’ll get you an overall impression and then individual impressions of the bikes as soon as we can. The big news, as has been released is that these bikes are based heavily on the 2016 KTM MX and XC bikes so that means they are Husky’s take on the Factory Edition. Of course they are different from the KTMs in a number of ways, mostly the frame and specifically the carbon fiber rear sub-frame. The plastic and cosmetic of the bikes are all new as well with a very futuristic looking side panel that extends up to the gas tank area on the FCs and TC125.

Some other interesting information that has been released is that Husky Power Parts will have an optional electric starer kit available for the TC125 which means that you can also fit that on the KTM 125 and 150 with a little work, no doubt.

On had at the press event are the chassis and engine engineers so we will be sure to tap them for the specific information that makes these Husky’s Husky’s. If you have any questions about the performance or the design of the bikes be sure to ask them in the comments sections and we’ll do our best to get you the answers.
