Map switch, traction control

Designed for easy operation, a map switch is standard on all 4-stroke models. It selects between two electronic fuel injection (EFI) maps and activates the traction control feature. Traction control offers improved grip and control on slick terrain.

Traction control is turned on and off by the switch, and functions by analysing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which RPM increases in the engine. If the RPM increases too quickly, the engine management system (EMS) registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel ensuring maximum traction.

Additionally, all 2-stroke models are fitted with a standard map switch allowing selection between two ignition curves, based on conditions or rider preference.

Standard handlebar map switch → alters engine characteristics according to conditions and rider preference
Traction control → optimal traction in all conditions

Engine management system (EMS)

Apart from controlling EFI parameters on the 4-strokes, the Keihin EMS features selectable engine maps via the handlebar switch, as well as traction control. Combined with the gear sensor, power delivery is tailored for each gear.

Keihin EMS → smaller, lighter and faster at processing engine data for more efficient engine management
Gear sensor → specific engine maps for each gear

On the 2-strokes, the EMS features an electronic control unit (ECU) which is responsible for several functions. The unit determines the ignition timing, the amount of fuel and oil injected and receives information from the throttle position sensor, ambient air and intake pressure sensors, as well as crankcase pressure and water temperature sensors, to adapt values and make corrections for automatic temperature and altitude compensation. This means there is no need to change carburettor jetting as in the past.

2-stroke EMS → modern engine management eliminating the need for jetting changes

Throttle body

The 4-stroke range features a 42 mm Keihin throttle body. The injector is positioned to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber. To ensure optimal throttle response, the cable is mounted directly without a throttle linkage, providing more immediate response and control.

Throttle body → 42 mm injector positioned for optimal flow, more immediate throttle response thanks to direct cable mounting

The 2-strokes use a 39 mm throttle body which regulates the amount of air entering the engine via a butterfly operated by dual throttle cables connected to the handlebar throttle assembly. Unlike 4-stroke throttle bodies, fuel is not introduced at this point, but instead 2-stroke oil is mixed with the air entering the engine to lubricate the crankshaft, cylinder and piston. Additionally, a throttle position sensor (TPS) relays airflow data to the ECU, which in turn calculates the amount of oil and fuel delivered to the engine. A bypass screw regulates the idling speed and a cold start device opens a bypass providing more air for cold starts to prevent too rich air and fuel mixture.

39 mm throttle body → regulates air flow, TPS relays airflow data

Exhaust system

Tailored specifically for each model using an innovative 3D design process, the 2-stroke header pipes feature advanced geometry and performance. The TE 250/300 header pipe offers more ground clearance making it less susceptible to damage, while a corrugated surface makes the header pipe more resistant to dents from rocks and other hazards found on the enduro trail. The 2-stroke silencers feature an aluminium mounting bracket and advanced internal construction for excellent noise damping and weight saving.

The 4-stroke exhaust system is expertly designed to deliver class-leading performance at the lowest possible weight. The header pipe is designed and manufactured in two pieces to be as compact as possible. It is joined so that it can be removed without having to take out the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer without increasing noise levels. The component is crafted from lightweight aluminium and is stylishly finished in a black coating that highlights its premium quality.

Corrugated surface on TE 250/300 → more resistant to damage
Header joining position on 4-stroke → can be removed without removing rear shock

Electric start and wiring harness

All TE and FE models come with an electric starter as standard. The system uses a compact and lightweight Li-Ion battery which is 1 kg lighter than a conventional battery. After several years of experience with electric starters on Husqvarna Enduro models, reliability is second to none and the system ensures a quick and seamless start in any condition.

Additionally, the wiring harness concentrates all necessary electrical components in a common area below the seat for easy accessibility.

Integrated cooling system and radiators

The radiators are expertly crafted using high-strength aluminium and are CFD (computational fluid dynamics) designed to channel air more efficiently. The cooling system is intelligently integrated into the frame, eliminating the need for additional hoses. The large centre tube running through the frame reduces pressure at this point, allowing for consistent coolant flow.

Additionally, the radiators are mounted close to the centre of gravity for improved handling agility. All 4-stroke models are fitted with radiator fans as standard, and there is the option to fit fans from the accessories catalogue on all 2-strokes.

Integrated cooling → maximum efficiency in minimal space
Large central tube → consistent coolant flow

Fuel tank

The 8,5 litre polythene fuel tanks incorporate a quick release filler cap and an integrated fuel pump. The fuel pump features internal line routing directly from the pump to the flange for optimal fuel flow. Additionally, the external fuel line is specifically positioned to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage. A fuel level sensor is incorporated on all models.

Airbox and tool-less air filter access

The airbox is designed with precisely positioned inlet ducts to prevent air deformation, ensuring maximum airflow and maximum filter protection.

The TE 250 offers the perfect balance between usable 2-stroke power and nimble lightweight handling. The TE 250 features revolutionary 2-stroke electronic fuel injection. This new-age technology redefines 2-stroke competition motorcycles, cementing their position in the enduro segment for the foreseeable future. The TE 250 adds convenience and simplicity doing away with the premixed fuel and jetting changes of the past, and adding efficiency and low emissions while retaining the simple character and inexpensive ownership of a 2-stroke.

Engine

The 250cc 2-stroke engine has for long been the best combination of unsurpassed power and lightweight construction. The simplicity and low maintenance cost of the 2-stroke motor has made it a favourite amongst enduro riders for generations. The TE 250 features an advanced electronic fuel injection system. This comprises of a set of fuel injectors positioned at the transfer ports which deliver the ideal amount of fuel to the engine in every condition. This not only reduces fuel consumption and emissions but also delivers a clean and smooth power giving the beloved 2-stroke the edge. Additionally, the TE 250 engine has an advanced construction featuring shaft arrangements precisely positioned for greater mass centralisation, a counter-balancer shaft reducing vibration, a twin-valve controlled power valve and 6-speed enduro gearbox.

Cylinder

The 66.4 mm bore cylinder in the TE 250 features a twin valve-controlled power valve system which delivers smooth and controlled power throughout the RPM range. Optimal exhaust port timing is achieved with the combination of a state-of-the-art, adjustable power valve drive and machined port window.

Additionally, the cylinder features two inlet positions located on the transfer ports at the rear of the cylinder where a pair of fuel injectors are mounted. The injectors deliver the fuel downwards into the transfer port which guarantees excellent atomisation with the air travelling upward to the combustion chamber. This ensures more efficient combustion resulting in reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

Dual fuel injectors → excellent atomisation, reduced fuel consumption
Power valve → machined port window

Piston

The lightweight piston is perfectly matched to the cylinder and transmits minimal oscillating mass ensuring high levels of reliability and performance.

Piston → fits perfectly to cylinder and combustion chamber

Engine casings

The TE 250 engine is designed to improve mass centralisation. Consequently, the lightweight, die-cast engine casings are developed to accommodate the shafts in the ideal positions, centralising oscillating mass and improving ride-ability. Additionally, the counter-balancer shaft is compactly integrated having little effect on the overall design.

Additionally, the water pump casing is designed for effective cooling by optimising the flow of coolant.

Die-cast engine casings → mass centralisation, optimal handling
Water pump casing → optimal flow of coolant for effective cooling

Counter-balancer shaft

The engine houses a laterally mounted counter-balancer shaft. The balancer significantly reduces vibration resulting in a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Counter-balancer shaft → significantly reduced vibration

Crankshaft

The crankshaft features a 72 mm stroke and is balanced in conjunction with the counter-balancer shaft for minimum vibration. By incorporating a heavier ignition rotor, the crankshaft produces more inertia than its motocross counterpart, which improves control in the lower RPM range.

Gearbox

A 6-speed Pankl gearbox features enduro-specific ratios while an innovative shift lever reduces dirt build-up guaranteeing easy operation in all conditions.

6-speed gearbox → enduro-specific ratios
Gear lever → prevents dirt build-up and blockage

Clutch

The TE 250 features a DDS (damped diaphragm steel) clutch. What this means is the clutch uses a single diaphragm spring instead of the more common coil spring design, resulting in a much lighter clutch action. This design also incorporates a damping system which increases both traction and durability. Additionally, the light and robust basket and inner hub guarantee optimal oil supply and cooling to the clutch.

Combined with the BRAKTEC hydraulic system, this guarantees a light, modulated clutch feeling which is almost maintenance and adjustment free.
DDS clutch → light action with integrated damping system, increased traction and reliability
BRAKTEC hydraulic system → light and modulated clutch action, almost maintenance free

Oil tank & pump

The TE 250 features an electronic oil pump which feeds vital 2-stroke oil into the engine to keep it lubricated. The pump is located just below the oil tank and feeds the oil via the throttle body, meaning the oil is not mixed with the fuel eliminating the need for pre-mixing as on traditional 2-stroke engines. The pump is controlled by the EMS (Engine management system) and delivers the optimal amount of oil according to the current RPM and engine load, reducing waste and preventing excessive smoke being emitted from the exhaust.

The oil tank is located beneath the fuel tank and is connected to a filler hose which runs through the upper member of the frame to a filler cap conveniently located for easy refills. The tank capacity is 0.7 litre and is fitted with a sensor which illuminates a warning lamp visible to the rider when the oil needs to be refilled.

Oil pump and tank → convenient solution, eliminates pre-mix

/ TE 300

The flagship TE 300 offers astonishing power in a light and agile package. While retaining solid reliability and low maintenance costs, the TE 300 also features innovative electronic fuel injection. Although it offers the greatest 2-stroke performance in the Husqvarna enduro range, the TE 300 is controllable and also eliminates the need for premixing fuel and tedious jetting changes inherent with carburettor models. Additionally, the injection system significantly reduces emissions and fuel consumption, allowing the rider to stay on the trail for extended periods of time.
