First Look at Husqvarna's 2012 Lineup

Husqvarna has just released a sneak peak at their 2012 motorcycles. The TXC line returns in 2012 with upgrades like Leo Vince exhaust systems and revised Kayaba suspension components. Husqvarna is also introducing a new model in 2012, the TXC310.

TXC310 - "The TXC310 is based on Husqvarna's existing TE310 dual-sport, but is all new to the TXC line of purebred off-roaders."

txc_310Take the TE310 and give it a little more aggression. The 302cc fuel-injected four-stroke motor delivers enough power to run with the 450s, but the bike is lite enough to handle like a 250.

TXC250 - "TXC250 is markedly improved. Husqvarna focused on gaining maximum performance from the 2012 TXC250, and heavily revised the fuel injection system for optimum power output."

The 2012 TXC250 has a new all-black chromoly frame which gives the bike better handling and improved durability. The TXC250 also saw some improvements with the Kayaba shocks, which replaced the Sachs shock. The 250 also gets an upgrade in the exhaust department with a new system from Leo Vance.

TXC511 - "The TXC511 remains the open-class off-road specialist. The California green-sticker-legal four-stroke features a fuel-injected 477.5cc motor, revised and fine-tuned for 2012 to txc_511smooth out power delivery."

The premium Kayaba suspension system has found its way onto all three TXC models in 2012. The TXC511 uses a 48mm closed-cartridge fork which makes the bike even more capabale of tackling tough terrain.

The TXC511 also gets a cosmetic upgrade with a new single-piece tail section, which also improves the ergonomics, cutting 15mm off of last year's tail section.

WR Cross Country - "The WR's are suspended by a Kayaba fork and Sachs shock combo, and feature the same cutting-edge look of the black frames, wr_300silver rims and new graphics shared with the rest of the '12 Husqvarna line."

Husqvarna is also bringing back its 125cc two stroke motorcycle into the WR lineup to give the Australian company three two-stroke motorcycles, the WR 125, 250, and 300, in 2012.

Husqvarna will release details about the TE dual purpose and the TC/CR motocross models, which both saw significant changes in 2012, soon.
