Overview

Introducing the 2011 Husqvarna TE449, a trailblazing machine designed specifically for the enduro-offroad enthusiast. Positioned as a versatile and capable contender in the competitive dual-sport market, the TE449 seamlessly marries performance and agility with the rugged durability essential for tackling the toughest terrains. With its striking red and white color scheme, this motorcycle not only catches the eye but also showcases Husqvarna's commitment to delivering a high-quality riding experience, whether you're navigating rocky trails or cruising through the countryside. At the heart of the TE449 lies a powerful 449cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive blend of torque and horsepower. The engine's configuration, featuring a 98 mm bore and 59.6 mm stroke, allows it to excel in off-road conditions, providing riders with an exhilarating experience as they tackle steep inclines and rough trails. The Keihin Digital Fuel Injection system ensures precise fuel delivery, optimizing performance at various altitudes and temperatures. Coupled with a smooth multi-plate hydraulic clutch, the TE449 offers riders enhanced control, allowing them to shift gears seamlessly while maintaining their momentum in challenging situations. What truly sets the TE449 apart is its advanced suspension and brake technology. The front suspension features 48mm Kayaba USD forks, which provide exceptional handling and stability, while the rear CTS with Kayaba Multi Adjustable Shock offers customizable settings for a tailored ride. Stopping power is equally impressive, with Brembo single disc brakes at the front and rear, ensuring confident braking performance on varied terrain. With an 8.5-liter fuel capacity, riders can venture further into the wilderness without the constant worry of refueling, making the TE449 an ideal companion for long-distance off-road adventures. **
