HUSQVARNA MOBILITY UNVEILS ITS ENDURO LINE-UP FOR 2026

Husqvarna Motorcycles’ pioneering approach to motorcycle manufacturing combines technical innovation with the latest engineering techniques to create a range of high performance enduro machines capable of mastering the toughest terrain.

Husqvarna Mobility is excited to reveal its 2026 enduro line-up. Comprising three 2-stroke and four 4-stroke models, the range includes a machine for riders of all abilities. All enduro machines will begin to arrive at authorised Husqvarna Mobility dealerships starting from August 2025.

Ensuring the entire range delivers best-in-class performance on every kind of terrain, the assembly of each model includes an extensive list of race-tested components. For 2026, new graphics, radiator shrouds, rear mudguard, and fork guards highlight the visual updates across the line-up, while a fuel line protector improves durability.

Several technical updates have been made to the WP XACT Closed Cartridge forks for improved suspension performance. All seven models now feature polished springs, a new pressure reservoir, and a one-piece hydrostop for enhanced damping characteristics. Complementing the updates, new compression and rebound settings have been introduced to the forks, as well as to the WP XACT rear shock, to retain chassis balance and refine the overall handling of each machine.

The 2-stroke offering begins with the nimble TE 125, includes the versatile TE 250, and rounds out the line-up with the popular TE 300. All models benefit from cutting-edge technology, with Throttle Body Injection (TBI) delivering smooth and predictable power to the rear wheel.

2026 Husqvarna TE300 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine

Delivering class-leading power, the TE 300 engine is built with maximum performance in mind. Thanks to the Throttle Body Injection (TBI), the engine delivers impressive torque while maintaining its high-revving two-stroke character to offer all riders a versatile power delivery. Designed to be compact to reduce overall weight, the engine tips the scales at just 54.2 lb (24.6 kg). Additionally, the shaft arrangements inside the TE 300 engine are precisely positioned for greater mass centralization while a counter balancer shaft reduces vibration.

 

Cylinder

With the introduction of Throttle Body injection (TBI) on the TE 300, the 72 mm bore cylinder now features an innovative electronic exhaust control system, which manages the opening of the lateral exhaust ports after the main exhaust port opens for maximum power delivery. Together with a machined finish on the upper contour of the exhaust port that ensures accurate port timing, unrivalled engine performance is assured.

Throttle body

The TE 300 uses a 39 mm throttle body with dual injectors positioned to optimise flow for more immediate throttle response and exceptional rideability. Idle is controlled by the throttle valve, with one low load injector and one top feed injector ensuring maximum performance. Additionally, a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) offers reliable cold starting with the throttle valve now pivoting on ball bearings for a smoother throttle action.

 

Oil tank

An electronic oil pump feeds vital 2-stroke oil into the engine. It is located just below the oil tank and feeds the oil via the reed cage, meaning the oil is only mixed with air at this stage. The pump is controlled by the EMS and delivers the optimal amount of oil according to the current RPM and engine load. The oil tank is connected to a filler hose which runs through the upper tube of the frame to a filler cap conveniently located for easy refills.

 

Crankcase

Designed to be low in weight without sacrificing strength or reliability, the new crankcases are made using a high-pressure die cast production process to create a thin-wall design. To centralise engine mass, the shaft arrangements are precisely positioned to harness rotating masses at the ideal centre of gravity.

 

Exhaust

Tailored specifically for the TE 300 using an innovative 3D design process, the header pipe ensures unrestricted performance and offers improved ground clearance to reduce the risk of impact damage out on the trail. The silencer also features an aluminium mounting bracket and advanced internal construction for excellent noise damping and weight saving.

 

Frame

The proven chromium molybdenum steel frame was refined for 2024. A new shock mounting, which is no longer connected to the main tube, significantly improves the anti-squat behavior of the chassis. With optimized wall thickness in high-stress areas improving reliability, the frame continues to offer advanced geometries and flex characteristics aimed at providing unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption, and straight-line stability. The frame is complete with a premium metallic blue powder coating with redesigned standard frame protectors offering improved grip in all conditions. Additionally, the redesigned and robust skid plate offers exceptional frame and engine protection.

 

Hybrid subframe

Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminum, the subframe offers exceptional strength and durability at a low overall weight of just 3.9 lb (1.8 kg). The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminum for reliability, with the upper section made from injection-molded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics.

 

Swingarm

The swingarm is manufactured using a die-cast production process and designed with a calculated level of rigidity. To further complement and optimise the flex characteristics of the chassis, a 22 mm rear wheel axle is utilised. A durable chain slider is neatly integrated into the swingarm, ensuring uninterrupted forward momentum through deeply rutted corners.

 

Bodywork

The ergonomic bodywork was designed to ensure that riders can perform at their best throughout every race. This was achieved through extensive testing, with the smooth contact points in the rider triangle allowing racers to grip the machine tightly with their legs, reducing fatigue. The radiator shrouds, featuring in-mould graphics, contribute to the progressive appearance of the machine, while a tall, wide seat offers unrestricted movement. A high-grip seat cover also helps keep riders securely in place under hard acceleration.

 

Fueltank

A 2.24-gallon (8.5-liter) fuel tank integrates neatly with the ergonomic bodywork and features a robust rubber cushion beneath it to hold the tank in place and protect the frame from wear. For durability, the external fuel line is specifically routed to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage.

WP XACT front forks

Each of Husqvarna Motorcycles’ enduro machines is now equipped with WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks. Designed and developed for the rigours of enduro riding, the fork offers consistent performance thanks to the closed cartridge spring design which optimises oil flow and prevents it from foaming. The addition of a new hydrostop, effective in the last 68 mm of travel, is highly effective on heavy landings to maintain maximum forward momentum. Additionally, riders can alter the compression and rebound settings quickly and easily using the tool-free adjusters found at the top and bottom of each fork leg.

 

WP XACT rear shock

The WP XACT rear shock features a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimised main piston, ensuring superior initial comfort and predictable performance in all conditions. To give riders the option of creating a personalised set-up, rebound, as well as the high and low-speed compression settings, can all be adjusted easily by hand.

 

Hydraulic brakes

The highest level of performance is guaranteed with the latest BRAKTEC braking systems which are specifically designed for enduro riding. New callipers, new brake pads, new levers, and new brake lines together with the GSK wave discs (260 mm disc front and 220 mm rear) result in a sensitive and progressive feel ensuring enhanced control in all conditions.

 

Hydraulic clutch

The new, high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system delivers even wear, near maintenance-free operation, and perfect feel in every condition. With this hydraulic system, free play is constantly compensated so that the pressure point, and the function of the clutch, remain identical in cold or hot conditions, as well as over time. Countless hours of testing have proven the reliability of the high-quality, Italian-made Brembo hydraulic system.

 

Wheels and tires

CNC-machined hubs, strong spokes, and high-strength, black-anodized alloy rims are used to assemble the wheels. They are fitted with versatile Dunlop AT82 tires. The front ensures precise cornering, while the rear provides excellent traction across varied terrain.

 

Triple clamps

The black-anodized, CNC-machined triple clamps offer premium quality as standard. They have a carefully calculated 22 mm offset and are expertly crafted using superior techniques and materials for the highest levels of quality and reliability. The handlebar clamp has a large contact surface with the ProTaper bars to help prevent twisting in the event of an impact and offers two mounting options for customizable ergonomics.

 

Cooling system

Manufactured from high-strength aluminum, the radiators are designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to channel air through them in the most effective way. A large center tube through the frame reduces pressure at this point in the system for a consistent coolant flow, while an internal thermostat further enhances reliability. A new threaded radiator cap allows for easy inspection of the coolant level before each ride.

LED headlight

The LED headlight provides a remarkably bright light output for excellent visibility at night and is particularly effective when riding through dense woodland. A clever mounting design sees the LED lighting unit fitted inside the headlight mask using a quick-release system that allows it to be replaced quickly and easily if damaged.

 

Map switch

By using the MAP SELECT SWITCH, the engine characteristics can be tailored to modify the power delivery according to rider preference, conditions and terrain. It has two settings which can be toggled on the fly, namely, Map 1, for standard and full power, and Map 2, for softer power and delayed ignition timing for terrain with less traction.

 

Footrest

Using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics, the large footrests are designed for maximum control and to prevent mud from building up. Additionally, the mounting position brings them inwards, which makes them less susceptible to catching on the ground through deep ruts.

 

Electric start

All TE models come standard with an electric starter. The system uses a compact and lightweight Li-Ion battery, which is 2.2 lb (1 kg) lighter than a conventional battery. With several years of experience in developing and perfecting electric starting, the proven reliability of the Husqvarna enduro range is second to none and ensures quick and easy starting at all times. Additionally, the wiring harness and electrical components are safely located below the seat for easy accessibility.

 

Engine management system

The Vitesco Engine Management System (EMS) is designed to be small, light, and fast at processing data. It incorporates a Rollover Sensor (ROS) that cuts the ignition and shuts off the engine in the event of a severe crash for an additional layer of security.
