Husaberg FE390 Features and Benefits
The latest WP closed cartridge USD fork with 48 mm diameter signifies a new
dimension in the field of enduro suspension. The fully adjustable 48 mm fork
from WP Suspension ensures comfortable response and large damping reserves. In
conjunction with the CNC-machined triple clamps, this guarantees more assured
control of the front wheel.
Particularly light and manufactured from high quality aluminium, ensuring that
the silencer complies with all statutory noise limits.
The lightweight double-cradle perimeter design guarantees the highest levels of
torsional rigidity and assured directional stability. Extremely slim lower tube
loops. Minimal overall width. Unbeatable ground clearance.
High-strength aluminium alloy Neken tapered handlebars guarantee the highest
levels of stiffness and safety. Mountable in 4 different positions.
Crosslinked polyethylene guarantees the highest levels of strength at the same
time as reduced weight. Numerous electronic components are embedded perfectly in
the subframe. Now in black.
Classy triple clamps machined from a single piece are fitted as standard to all
Husaberg models. This results in precise clamping of the fork tubes, which
supports the flawless function of the forks.
Positioned directly behind the tank cap, it is covered by the front part of the
seat. The raised airbox position guarantees cool, clean intake air and maximum
wading depth. Intake port in direct downdraught from the filter to the cylinder.
The 8.5 litre capacity, slim fuel tank extends way under the seat, providing a
favourable centre of gravity, and is equipped with a compact fuel pump as well
as a reserve sensor. The transparent polyethylene also allows the fuel level to
be determined from the outside.
The integrated stainless steel exhaust manifold offers optimum protection from
damage by rocks and prevents all direct contact with the rider.
The latest Brembo front brake for optimum braking performance with a minimum of
effort. Effective single-piston rear brake caliper. Ultra-light Wave discs for
best possible deceleration
and efficient self-cleaning of the brakes.
Fully adjustable PDS shock absorber with optimised settings for even better
traction and stability. Adjustable rebound damping and variable high- and
low-speed compression damping guarantee the perfect configuration for the most
diverse conditions.
sports-oriented compact engine design with revolutionary layout + reduced to the
minimum + optimum handling thanks to 70° cylinder angle and crankshaft position
close to bike's centre of gravity + easy starting + the hightest reliability
Starting at the push of a button, in every situation by means of precisely
controlled state-of-the-art engine management, no need for a kickstarter,
minimum engine weight
42 mm throttle body in direct downdraught + optimum flow from the airbox to the
cylinder + 2 alternative mappings selectable (map-select switch available as a
Husaberg part)
New valve spring retainers made of stronger material guarantee greater
reliability under heavy loads in the highest rpm ranges.
All engine versions are equipped with a perfectly graduated 6-gear transmission,
with a narrower spread in the FX.
Designed for extreme loads, hydraulic clutch actuation system from Magura,
integrated torque cushion, perfect application, FLEX clutch lever, hinges
forwards up to 90°, reduces risk of breakage
For greater stiffness, the engineers have significantly reinforced the area of
the frame around the steering head on the 4-stroke models, reduced frame flex at
the decisive points, substantially improved stability of the bike at high
speeds, absolutely precise control of the front wheel
Super-light cast aluminium swingarm, holds the directly attached PDS shock,
greatest degree of directional stability, plenty of traction and comfort
Press Release
Husaberg model year 2012 is about to hit the trails
For model year 2012 Husaberg will be 100% Enduro and with the addition of a
sixth model to the Enduro line-up the Swedish brand once again addresses a
completely new target group.
In Model Year 2012 Husaberg clearly focuses on its core competence again -
Enduro. From the very beginning back in 1988, when a couple of Swedish Enduro
enthusiasts decided to develop and build a radically new Enduro machine, which
then became known as the first Husaberg, up until today Enduro was always the
brand’s inner core. Be it in terms of sales or in terms of racing success, the
FE and TE Enduro bikes have always been the brand’s most valuable assets and
therefore the decision was taken to go “back to the roots” and become 100%
Enduro again.
A new model for new Husaberg riders
Husaberg wants to open up access to the brand for even more Enduro enthusiasts.
Therefore the model range is further expanded by the addition of a new model,
the TE 125.
After the bigger-bore 2-stroke models last year which have proven very
successful in racing (victory at Hell’s Gate, Tough One, Extreme Lagares and
Vice-World Champions title in the Indoor Enduro World Championship) as well as
in sales right away, this new addition to the Husaberg model range will attract
even more new customers to Husaberg. The passionate 125cc riders on one hand
and, even more importantly, the young Enduro enthusiasts and racers from the age
of 16 on the other hand. It is the next logical step for Husaberg to become a
full range 100% Enduro brand attracting new young customers.
The TE 125 is unbeatable in terms of easy handling and with the top of the range
components like the closed-cartridge fork, machined triple clamps and
translucent 11 litre tank it shares with its siblings will be an easy choice for
all E1 racers who want the best price/performance ratio of the class.
New look, better “Husability”
The look of the 2012 model range has been refreshed not only by new graphics but
also by very useful changes and additions. A very convenient change which also
contributes to the fresh and light overall appearance of the bikes is the now
completely translucent fuel tank for all FE and TE models which makes it even
easier to determine the fuel level in the tank. As the yellow coated frame might
only look good the addition of very stable MX handguards offers excellent
protection and further underlines the high level of equipment offered as
standard on the Husaberg models like the frame protection (all models) and the
engine protection (all models but TE 125).
Only the best components
Of course Husaberg remains true to its premium standards and therefore all
models feature the top of the range suspension with a closed-cartridge front
fork and the fully adjustable PDS shock. The fork is held in place by machined
triple clamps whereby the upper triple clamp is a new, lighter and more rigid
version offering even better clamping characteristics for the 2012 models.
The high performance brakes featured on the 2012 Husaberg models are again
supplied by Brembo, the shrouds are manufactured using the latest in-mould
technology making them more resistant to wear and the hydraulic clutch actuation
and the electric start button (all models but TE 125) are mounted on an
extremely rigid Neken aluminium handlebar.
The big-bore 2-stroke models TE 250 and TE 300 receive a new reed valve block
for even better throttle response and the TE 300 also features a new cylinder
for increased bottom-end power. The standard on-the-fly ignition switch is
replaced in model year 2012 by a new, smaller version so far only available from
Husaberg’s accessories programme.
Last but not least Husaberg will be expanding the Husaberg Factory Team’s
long-standing cooperation with Michelin on to the standard bikes by equipping
all models from model year 2012 with Michelin Enduro Competition III tyres.
Value for money
Although still using only the best components available on the market and not
compromising any detail when it comes to build quality, focusing on the core
Enduro models, complimenting better sourcing terms resulting from a steadily
growing sales volume over the last 3 years, Husaberg can now pass on these cost
benefits to its Husaberg riders with more attractive retail prices* for model
year 2012.
