2011 Husqvarna TE449 Enduro







HUSQVARNA TE449, NEW

The design of the new series 449/511 outperforms the other models all-terrain and stand out immediately on its appearance, layout and proprietary technology.

Design and layout

The line is completely new: a thin, slender and elegant. A one-piece side panel, which traditionally goes to the fuel tank, all the way back the rear fender, when the pilot of the free and unimpeded movement. There is no possibility of trimming the edges of the panels boots or pants with this design.

In addition to aesthetics and ergonomics, the new design also makes maintenance easier for the exhaust air filter, throttle body back and are easily accessible. The head of long, extending from the rear fender of the head direction, offers a completely free longitudinal movement.

LOTS and severity

The idea behind the 449 TE is "mass centralization" - to keep the weight of the bike is concentrated as close to the center of gravity and a chassis design is perfectly suited to the demands of competitive endurance race . This solution, called Husqvarna RTC (coaxial drive system) eliminates the variation in the length of the chain during movement of the rear suspension, which minimizes the effect of the last training in handling motorcycles. This solution allows an arm swing while maintaining a wheelbase similar to that of our competitors by offering better traction, which means that the tangible benefits of Enduro.

The arrangement allows the chassis to fit modern DOHC closer to the center of the bicycle, while tilting the cylinder goes a long way direct admission at the same time as maintaining the center of gravity as low as possible.

Once again, the continuing theme of the mass concentration, a two-tank design offers a total of 8.5 liters, 2 liters installed a low pump head and the 6.5-liter main tank under the seat. Under the seat of the fuel tank design allows for incorporation into the airbox without a safe and fluidodynamically a favorable opinion of the air intake of the current engine is at the top of the steering column, and raised in a sheltered place to minimize the consumption of powdered or water.

PERFORMANCE OF REFERENCE

The TE 449 is equipped with an advanced engine camshaft four-valve double is significantly improved Husqvarna experience in his many years of racing off-road.

Gear ratios and enduro and MX versions are completely changed: Enduro now use a 6-speed gearbox and the figures are adjusted on the basis of experience, and Salminen, Tarkkala races. Ignition timing is optimized specifically for maps in two different capacities, and the exhaust system.

Switch is controlled hydraulically offers a smooth and progressive action withgreater the consistency of stress.

Management and performance

Circumference of the design structure is made of high quality steel pipes. The rear suspension geometry is a revolutionary, a new connection installed on the wheels alloy swingarm.

This solution offers many advantages: it increases the height from the soil, improving the overall reliability of the possibility of reducing the exposure of the components, and facilitates maintenance. It's not all: in a dynamic way, using the advantages of double-cradle frame made of high strength steel tubes, uneven ground is absorbed more slowly, reducing the stress on the pilot.

Benefits during a jump is also notable the recoil of the rear wheel is greatly reduced and the fluidity of the suspension is especially noticeable on land harder and harder.

Traction control COAXIAL

Real sophistication in the field fence, and only the TE / TC 449/511 series is the CTS, Coaxial traction. The advantages of the CTS system than conventional systems, are enormous. Interruption during the movement along the entire stroke, the chain is not subject to anyeturnToOldEditor=falsein tension remains constant, regardless of the position when the swing arm and chain pinion to benefit from less wear. A very positive impact on the driving characteristics is marked reduction of either the load transfer.

More generally, the values ​​obtained by the adoption of the CTS has a much more uniform development in all conditions that lead to improved handling and stability of the bike.

Premium Ingredients

The new TE is equipped with the most advanced components in the Off Road. To the front brake, there is a floating Brembo calipers and 260 millimeter wave rotor, while the rear brake consists of a floating caliper operating on a rotor of 240 mm.

The suspension is transferred in its entirety to specialists Kayaba, with 48 mm forks with adjustable compression and rebound and Kayaba rear shock absorbers are designed specifically for use with Enduro optimized settings in collaboration with the race team.

New Husqvarna TE 449: the perfect combination of elements to win any challenge.
