Husqvarna Motorcycles’ 2021 range of new TE two-stroke and FE four stroke Enduro models arrive in a hot week for new bike launches...

The latest generation Husqvarna line-up of seven off-road motorcycles, ranging from TE 150i two-stroke to FE 501 four stroke, arrives on the back of major changes for model year 2020. Expected to land in dealer showrooms from June 2020, the MY21 bikes remain largely unchanged except for a freshen-up to their graphics.

Unlike the orange stablemates, the new look to the Husky models’ graphics is less of a contrast to the predecessor. A sweep of Husqvarna blue block runs across the side panel and they can claim to have got there first with the whole grey, rear side panel idea after introducing it for 2020.

Cynics will ask ‘why no changes for 2021?’ but little or no new parts is normal following a major revamp such as we had for MY20. The comprehensive list of updates to the 2020 models amounted to 60% new components and included a significant change to the rear of the bikes, which we rated pretty highly when we rode the 2020 models at the launch event in Finland last year.
