Overview
Introducing the 2017 Husqvarna TX 300, a remarkable contender in the enduro-offroad category that embodies the spirit of adventure and competition. Renowned for its lightweight construction and agile handling, the TX 300 is designed for riders who crave the thrill of tackling challenging terrains, whether it’s steep hills, rocky paths, or muddy trails. Husqvarna has a storied legacy in off-road racing, and the TX 300 continues this tradition with cutting-edge technology and a performance-oriented design that appeals to both seasoned racers and enthusiastic weekend warriors. At the heart of the TX 300 is a robust 293cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating power and responsiveness. The engine, featuring a 38mm flat slide Mikuni TMX carburetor, provides crisp throttle response and a broad power band, ideal for navigating tight trails and wide-open spaces alike. Paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox, riders will appreciate the seamless gear transitions that maximize the engine's performance.

The 2017 TX 300 is equipped with advanced features that enhance its off-road capabilities. Its lightweight 25CrMo4 steel central-tube frame delivers superb rigidity without compromising agility, allowing for confident cornering and handling. The front and rear suspension systems—featuring a WP-USD AER 48 fork and a WP shock absorber with linkage—offer a generous 310mm and 300mm of travel, respectively, soaking up bumps and providing a plush ride over rough terrain. Additionally, the Brembo braking system ensures reliable stopping power, with a 260mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc working in harmony to instill confidence in any situation. With both electric and kick-start options, the TX 300 is ready to tackle any adventure at a moment’s notice. **
