MXA TWO-STROKE NEWS: HUSQVARNA’S TWO-STROKE PLANS FOR THE USA (150, 250 & 300)

The Husqvarna CR150 will have Marzochhi forks and Sachs rear suspension.

Husqvarna has plans to bring an all-new 2011 CR150 two-stroke into the USA later this year. The reed valve and power valve-equipped engine will be have a 144cc displacement (same as the KTM) thanks to a 58mm x 54.5mm bore and stroke, plus have a suggested retail price below $6000. The six-speed tranny will power a chromoly tube frame (elliptical tubing), Marzocchi 48mm forks and a Sachs shock. The brakes are by Brembo with a 260mm Braking front rotor and 240mm rear Braking rotor. The polished hubs are from Grimeca. The carb is a 38mm Mikuni TMX38. In light of the 1CR150, Husqvarna will not bring any CR125’s to the USA this year.

The enduro-based WR250 and WR300 two-strokes share most of their components (HTS valves, Brembo 260mm front brakes, 38mm Mikuni TMX carbs, five-speed transmission), but differ in bore size. The 250 has a 66mm x 72mm bore and stroke, while the WR300 (actually 293.1cc) shares the same stroke, but uses a 72mm piston. The 250/300 uses 48mm Kayaba forks and a Sachs shock.
