S A L A U N C H CONTROLLED POWER 2016 HUSQVARNA MX Husqvarna is a manufacturer that is on a mission. Last month, we brought you the news about the new MX lineup. Husqvarna SA invited a motley bunch to meet and mingle with the new bikes. It’s quite amazing that a relatively small importer can host such a fantastic event. We have to doff our caps to Husqvarna SA, this launch was on a par with any of the big ones that we have been to. They flew bikes in from Austria for the launch, brought along all of their National MX riders and hosted us at the excellent Syringa track for the day. The press were given the opportunity to ride, and it was awesome to have the dealers from all over SA along to swap war stories. This is a company on a mission… The bikes You would have read about them all in last months feature, so this is a recap with our local MX ace, and top SA contender Ryan Angilley’s take on the bikes. In a nutshell, Husky has redesigned the machines from the ground up, they have shed weight across the range and increased horsepower. Ergonomically, Ryan is impressed with the bikes across the board. He loves the lower bars, they make the bike turn that much easier, the narrower feel up front, the redesigned rear shrouds because they no longer hook on your knee guards. He commented on the flatter seat - easy to move around on as you blitz the berms and jumps. At the presentation we were told that the 2016 250 is stronger than a modified 2015. Here’s something interesting. Ryan was not at that presentation and the moment he got off the new 250 his words were “My bike has everything to make it go faster - and this one is better…” Makes you think. In only its third true year of producing bikes in Austria, Husky has an all new line of 2016 MX bikes. Four brand new from the ground up. And say what you will with the connections with another brand, but that name was not even mentioned during whole introduction. You have to look at it in the same way large auto manufacturers use a similar platform across different brands. Then the large amount of R&D Euro’s necessary for development can be realised with larger unit sales of similar, yet different versions of the same thing.
