    • Throttle assembly and ODI grips → easily alter throttle progression; easy grip mounting without glue

    Map switch, traction control

    Designed for easy operation, the map switch found on all 4-stroke models 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 activated from the switch and functions by analysing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which the 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 for maximum traction.

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

    • 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 Hitachi-Astemo (formerly Keihin) EMS features selectable engine maps via the switch on the handlebar as well as traction control. Combined with the gear sensor, power delivery is tailored for each gear.

    • Hitachi-Astemo 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, ambient air, intake pressure, crankcase pressure, and water temperature sensors, adapting values and making corrections according to outside temperature and altitude. This means there is no longer the need to change carburettor jetting as in the past.

    • 2-stroke EMS → modern Engine Management System eliminates the need for jetting changes

    Throttle body

    The 4-stroke range features a 42 mm Hitachi-Astemo throttle body. The injector is positioned to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber while to ensure optimal throttle response, the throttle cable is mounted directly without a linkage for instant response.

    • Throttle body → 42 mm, injector positioned for optimal flow, instant 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 and is controlled by dual throttle cables connected to the handlebar throttle assembly. Unlike 4-stroke throttle bodies, fuel is not introduced at this point, but rather 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 when starting in cold conditions.

    • 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 header pipe on the TE 250 Heritage and TE 300 Heritage offers more ground clearance making it less susceptible to damage while a corrugated surface makes it much more resistant to impacts from other hazards found on the enduro trail. The 2-stroke mufflers also feature an aluminium mounting bracket and advanced internal construction for excellent sound 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 manufactured in two pieces to be as compact as possible, and the joining position allows it to be removed without needing to take out the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer without increasing sound levels. The component is crafted from lightweight aluminium and is stylishly finished with a black coating to highlight its premium quality.

    • Corrugated surface on TE 250 Heritage and TE 300 Heritage header pipe → more durable against damage
    • Header joining position on 4-stroke → remove without removing rear shock

    Electric start and wiring harness

    All TE and FE Heritage models are fitted with a reliable electric starter. The system uses a compact and lightweight Li-Ion battery which is 1 kg lighter than a conventional battery. After several years of development, the proven consistency of the electric starter ensures quick and easy starting in all conditions.

    Additionally, the wiring harness concentrates all electrical components into one area below the seat for easy accessibility.

    Integrated cooling system and radiators

    The radiators are expertly crafted using high-strength aluminium with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to channel air through more efficiently. The cooling system is cleverly integrated into the frame, eliminating the need for additional hoses. The large centre tube running through the frame reduces pressure at this point and allows for a consistent flow of coolant.

    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, with all 2-stroke machines featuring mounting holes ready for a fan from the Technical Accessories range to be installed.

    • Integrated cooling → maximum efficiency
    • 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.
