2017 Husqvarna Motocross Bikes Announced

May 10, 2016

Husqvarna has shared some new model information and photos and the big news for the 2017 motocross line-up is the 48mm AER (air spring) fork on all the big bikes and electronic traction control on all the four-strokes. The most-changed bike in the Husqvarna line up is the TC 250, which is an all-new bike with a new engine, frame, and of course with the WP’s AER fork up front.

We’ll be riding the bikes soon, and we’ll tell you how they run as soon as we get a chance to throw a leg over them. The following information was provided to us by Husqvarna:
