QUEENSLAND COUNTRY TURNS IT ON FOR THIRD ANNUAL HUSKY TREK

Back for its third year, the Husqvarna Motorcycles HUSKY TREK was held in August this year and offered over fifty-five 701 Enduro and Norden 901 adventure riders and twenty-five Husqvarna Motorcycles staff the outstanding experience of five-days and 1800km exploring the beautiful South-East Queensland countryside.

With weather causing chaos in the lead-up to the Trek, it was a welcome surprise to be greeted by cloudless blue skies each morning of the event, which started and finished at the iconic Bunya Mountains.

Coming off last years’ Northern Explorer Husky Trek, which was held in the Northern NSW region, this years’ edition added an extra day and a new model, with the introduction to the Husqvarna Motorcycles adventure family of the Norden 901.

Riders were treated to a vast array of terrain, from flowing gravel roads to clay forest tracks, overgrown single track, tricky rocky creek crossings and even special access private property.

Along with the outstanding route, riders were able to immerse themselves in the adventure experience with full support offered by the Husqvarna Motorcycles Australia crew – including luggage, technical and medical support, as well as lead riders clearing the track and sweep riders bringing up the rear to ensure all got to the nightly home base with a smile on their face.

The Husky Trek boasts a unique aspect of being the sole Husky-only adventure ride in the World, meaning riders experience the thrills of the trail and nightly atmosphere with like-minded adventurers, offering a rare and distinctive camaraderie.

One of these riders was world-adventure traveller and Husqvarna Motorcycles ambassador, Lyndon Poskitt, who made the journey down under from Spain and had an absolute blast experiencing the Trek alongside the Aussie Husky crew.

Australian Husky rider, and 5-time member of the winning ISDE Women’s World Trophy Team and multiple Australian Women’s Enduro Champion Jemma Wilson was back for her second Husky Trek, and was one of four ladies who took part.

The feature video highlighting all the action from the 2022 Husky Trek is coming soon.

Husqvarna Motorcycles Australia would like to thank all riders for their support and for attending the event, as well as all staff and support crew who made it possible.
