Back in May, Husqvarna released details of its 2023 range of motocross bikes to the public. Without doubt, the introduction of fuel-injected two-strokes stole the show and it's been a hot topic ever since.
The four-strokes weren't without major changes either, with only seven parts carrying across from the previous generation.
As interesting as all this change was, I wanted to do something different with this story and not just dive into the press kit to uncover a bunch of technical mumbo-jumbo. So we've decided to attack this one as a bit of a question-and-answer feature with a little help from all you readers. Shortly after the press intro was held in August, we threw it out there on our social channels and asked you for your questions. We then gathered a few of the most common ones and put this feature together.
TECH TALK
The previous generation worked great. What are they aiming to achieve with the new models?
The Husqvarna engineering team set themselves some lofty goals with what you would call “simplification”. Previously, each bike would have its own chassis, gearbox, clutch and so on. A bespoke set of plans and parts would come together to build each individual model. The only common items across models would be things like suspension, wheels, footpegs, handlebars and plastics.
