Overview

Introducing the 2013 Husqvarna CR65, a nimble and spirited minibike-cross machine designed to ignite the passion of young riders and enthusiasts alike. Husqvarna has long been a revered name in the off-road motorcycle world, and the CR65 is no exception. This model positions itself as an ideal entry-level bike for aspiring motocross racers and trail explorers, combining a lightweight build with cutting-edge technology. With its striking red, white, and black color scheme, the CR65 is not only visually appealing but also engineered for performance, making it a standout choice in the world of mini motocross bikes. At the heart of the CR65 is a peppy 64.90 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, which delivers impressive power and responsiveness that younger riders crave. With a compression ratio of 9.1:1 and a sophisticated Mikuni TM 24 carburetor, the engine offers a thrilling ride with smooth throttle response and robust torque across the power band. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless gear transitions, ensuring that whether you’re tackling a challenging dirt track or carving through a forest trail, you’ll have the right gear at your fingertips. The liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal performance even during extended rides, while the lightweight chassis enhances maneuverability, making every turn feel effortless. The CR65 is equipped with a robust steel single-tube cradle frame complemented by an alloy rear frame, striking a balance between durability and performance. The front suspension features 35mm Marzocchi forks with 220mm travel, providing excellent handling and stability on rough terrain. Meanwhile, the Sachs shock at the rear is adjustable for both preload and rebound damping, allowing riders to fine-tune their ride for comfort and responsiveness. With a seat height of just 750mm and a ground clearance of 280mm, the CR65 is accessible for younger riders, promoting confidence as they master their skills. Safety is not overlooked either, as the bike features reliable disc brakes on both ends, ensuring consistent stopping power. **
