2014 Husqvarna TE 300
The
2014 Husqvarna TE 300 has a lot to love. The motorcycle comes with a
torquey, 293cc, 1-cylinder, 2-stroke water-cooled engine with reed
intake and exhaust control. The unit sends its power to the rear wheel
through a six speed, claw shifted transmission and is fed by an 11
liters fuel tank.
You also get an innovative DDS (damped diaphragm steel) clutch system that features a diaphragm spring instead of coil springs, an integrated damping system and a strong inner hub.
As far as ergonomics are concerned, the Husqvarna TE300 comes with carefully designed radiator shrouds, seat and side panels that help you get as comfy as possible while you seat behind the silver anodised Neken tapered handlebar.
The ride quality is assured by a front WP Suspension Up Side Down 4CS fork and a rear WP Monoshock with linkage.

Overview
ENGINE
The elite 2-stroke Enduro in the Husqvarna line-up has the most powerful engine available today. The torque characteristics and tractability allow riders to take-on extreme Enduro with confidence. The TE 300 engine features a sophisticated exhaust valve that optimises power delivery and, combined with the Boyesen reed valve and new generation reed blocks, offers excellent response and durability. The engine characteristics can be tailored to rider preference by varying the spring stiffness in the exhaust valve. The 300cc engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox that has been designed to offer precise shifting and Enduro-specific gearing.CYLINDER
Maximum performance, reliability and low maintenance costs are guaranteed by the lightweight yet durable cylinder.
CLUTCH
An innovative DDS (damped diaphragm steel) clutch system is fitted to achieve smooth action and easy control. The exclusive characteristics of this system include a diaphragm spring instead of coil springs, an integrated damping system for better traction and durability, and a strong inner hub for increased stability. Riders of all levels will appreciate the precise Brembo hydraulic system for perfect clutch modulation.
STARTER
The TE 300 has an electric starter as well as a kick starter, underlining the extreme versatility and technology of the Husqvarna 2-stroke Enduro line-up.
Husqvarna Crown Jewels
The strong and light chromoly frame is an exceptional partner for the powerful 2-stroke engine, and works in perfect harmony with the other jewels in the Husqvarna chassis. Although the overall frame design is the same on all the Enduro models, each model has slight variations in geometry and stiffness in key areas in order to tailor the behaviour of the bike to the varying engine characteristics and outputs. The engineers designed the frame with precise longitudinal flex that helps absorb impacts from the rear wheel, working together with the suspension and giving the rider greater feedback. The torsional rigidity has been calibrated to maximise sharp handling, and thus magnifying the intrinsic characteristics of two-stroke motorcycles.
SUBFRAME
The subframe has been accurately honed and exhaustively developed in order to maximise rider confidence and comfort on the bike. The high-tech, lightweight, three-piece construction of the polyamide rear subframe is more flexible than a traditional aluminium rear subframe, and works in perfect harmony with the flex characteristics of the frame. The composite construction of the subframe allows the engineers to have unlimited opportunities of integrating features such as the airbox, electronics and rear grab handle.
SWINGARM
Putting 2-stroke power to the ground can be tricky in certain conditions, so the engineers developed a single-piece cast swingarm that optmises traction even on the most difficult Enduro terrain. The flex characteristics feed precise information to the rider, instilling confidence and improving overall performance. Strong but light, the beautifully styled aluminium cast swingarm provides perfect stability and safety.
BRAKES
The Black DID rims shod with Michelin Enduro Competition tyres are kept firmly under control thanks to maximum feeling in extreme situations combined with amazing stopping power of the latest generation of Brembo brakes, featuring a new master cylinder and floating calipers. Ergonomically perfect controls allow the rider to accurately gauge braking power to the 260mm and 220mm wave discs at the front and rear respectively.
FRONT SUSPENSION
When you think 2-stroke, you think "lightning fast handling"! The WP suspension components have been developed with exactly the same thought. The 48mm WP 4CS front fork employs 4 chamber technology that reduces weight compared to a typical closed cartridge fork, while maintaining the same performance levels. It provides a decisive advantage in terms of responsiveness, constant damping precision and handling, that perfectly matches the mind blowing agility of a 2-stroke Enduro bike. Additionally, the 4CS fork is completely adjustable to different terrain and conditions by simply twisting the dials on the top of the forks for rebound and high/low speed compression damping settings.
REAR SUSPENSION
The high performance rear shock by WP is completely adjustable for rebound and high/low speed compression damping. The accurate construction and high quality components of the shock guarantee excellent and consistent damping characteristics over time.
REAR LINK
The Husqvarna DCC (Dual Compression Control) linkage system developed by WP has excellent characteristics in fast and flowing sections, and excels on steep downhills. It offers great rider comfort in all situations and has great progressiveness in extremely rocky and bumpy sections. The versatile Husqvarna DCC linkage system is sure to meet the need of riders of all levels, with a consistent, confidence-inspiring and light feeling chassis in every situation.
CNC MACHINED TRIPLE CLAMPS
Front-end feel is extremely important in every motorcycle discipline, and more so in Enduro, where riders can encounter all sorts of varying terrain and conditions on a single outing. The CNC machined triple clamps have been developed to deliver maximum feedback to the rider under braking, in rough terrain and on jumps by allowing the fork tubes to flex in a controlled fashion. One of the main features of the forks is the uniform clamping of the fork legs, ensuring even distribution of the forces, maintaining the leg shape, and thus proper damping along the entire stroke.
A perfect match
The radiator shrouds, seat and side panels form a perfect shape that combined with the excpetional hand and foot controls and silver anodised Neken tapered handlebar, allow the rider to take complete control of this high performance Enduro bike. The aggressive looks and yellow, blue and white colour scheme highlight the TE 300’s credentials.
AIRBOX
The airbox is integrated in the composite rear subframe and is designed to allow quick and easy filter change in seconds without tools. All models fit a Twin Air filter as standard and have dedicated air intake snorkels.
IGNITION
The ignition can be modified according to terrain and rider preference. The CDI unit features two ignition curves that can be switched by changing the plug connection or via Husky Power optional accessory.
EQUIPMENT
A complete range of accessories in the Husky Power catalogue complements the high quality standard equipment present on the TE 300.
