Welcome back to another edition of 

RiDE MORE! It’s been quite a 

year at Husqvarna North America, and 

2011 brought a lot of change to our 

staff, our infrastructure, our dealer 

network, and most importantly, our 

product line. 

Starting with the staff, we have more 

than doubled in size since the start 

of the year, tripling in Aftersales, 

with the aim of better serving 

Husqvarna owners and dealers. 

Even more impressive 

than the quantity of our 

staffing additions is 

the quality of these 

professionals. We sought out some of the industry’s best to 

help facilitate the growth and ever-increasing complexity 

of our business. 

Our support infrastructure has taken a giant 

step forward. As you read this, we’re putting the finishing 

touches on an industry-leading fulfillment organization for our bikes, 

parts and accessories. By accessing the BMW car and motorcycle 

Regional Distribution Centers on both the east and west coasts, we 

can ship bikes and parts to dealers more quickly and at lower costs 

than ever before. We expect to be able to ship a part for arrival 

by noon the next day in a pinch, and standard two-day shipping and 

handling will be of no charge! 

Our North American dealer network is growing steadily 

as strong dealers continue to recognize the benefits that only 

Husqvarna can provide. Here is a list of states where new dealers 

are taking up the Husky banner: Arizona, California, Colorado, 

Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Utah and 

Washington. 

Our product line has taken big strides, both in design and 

in arrival time. New model year 2012 Husqvarnas have been at 

dealers since September of this year, and the all-new TXC310 has 

earned rave reviews from the press, and new owners alike. The 

TC250 is the new rising star on the motocross scene, but don’t take 

my word for it. Turn to page 8 to see what the media is saying about 

the Husqvarna off-road motorcycles. 

On the competition front, Husqvarna has had a banner year, 

as well. Juha Salminen and Antoine Meo both won World Enduro 

Championships with the CH Racing Husqvarna factory race team. Most 

impressive is the fact that Meo bested the 450s of the ultra-competitive E2 

division on a 310! And with two rounds to spare! Closer to home, Mandi Mastin took 

her 11th consecutive National Enduro championship on a Jay Hall’s Cycle Husqvarna 

TXC250, and Zip-Ty Racing’s Nick Burson wrapped up his fifth U.S. Desert Racing 

championship. Lastly, the Fred Andrews Racing (FAR) team ended the GNCC series 

with a 1-2 finish in the XC2 class at the Loretta Lynn’s finale. Congratulations everyone! 

We have definitely come a long way in 2011, and we couldn’t be more proud of our 

staff, our riders, our dealers and our product line. But we’ve only just begun – we’re 

ready for the gate to drop on the 2012 season where we plan to gain even more traction, 

and most importantly, RiDE MORE!

CHOICE DEALER AWARDS 

The HMNA dealer list continues to grow, and 

we already have lots of outstanding dealers 

flying the Husqvarna banner! At the 2011 

Dealer Show in Corona, CA, several awards 

were presented to the top dealerships in the 

country, with Tri-County Powersports being 

named the National Dealer of the Year, and 

MotoXotica named the 

Aftersales Dealer of the 

Year. 

“Tri-County 

continues to market the 

brand in creative ways,” 

said Husqvarna Market 

Sales Professional 

Jeff Konicke. “They 

are doing a great job 

with penetrating their 

immediate marketplace 

as well as surrounding 

areas. The dealership 

is very resourceful 

in the Aftersales 

department, and their 

service department 

has proven itself to 

be very resilient in the toughest of times. Paul 

Pecoraro and the crew at Tri-County are a true 

asset to our success.”

Regional awards also being presented. Hall’s 

Husqvarna was awarded for the Northeast

Southwest. 

“We are very fortunate in having so many 

great dealerships 

carry the Husqvarna 

brand in North 

America,” said Kris 

Odwarka, HMNA’s 

President. “These 

dealerships in particular 

earned regional awards 

for going above and 

beyond by promoting 

events, hosting demo 

rides and being active 

with the brand in local 

racing. Their great 

personalities, knowledge

passion make each one of 

them tremendous assets to 

Husqvarna.”

Due to an unfortunate practice crash only 

days before the Summer X Games, Zip-Ty 

Husqvarna’s Cory Graffunder was sidelined 

with a broken wrist and unable to participate in 

the premier Enduro X Racing event. 

The “Gray Thunder” is now back in 

action, but was forced to sit out the majority 

of the AMA EnduroCross rounds in 2011. 

Multiple magazine editors took advantage of 

the vacancy under the Zip-Ty tent, however, 

and were guest riders on Graffunder’s TE310. 

Dirt Rider magazine’s Chris Denison (who 

was recently named Editor of the venerable 

publication) raced the 310 at the Indianapolis, 

Indiana round, and Ryan Dudek of Cycle 

World hopped in the saddle for the Ontario, 

California round. The dozens of dealers in

in the Baja Designs Night Race as his coup de 

grace for the evening.

Mighty 

Mandi 

Eighteen AMA national number one plates, seven 

International Six Day Enduro (ISDE) medals, two OMA 

championships and even an ISDE World Cup Trophy 

adorn the walls of Husqvarna’s winningest off-road 

racer. Who is the celebrated champion behind this 

impressive resume? None other than Mandi Mastin! 

The Hall’s Cycles-backed rider recently wrapped 

up her 11th (yes, eleventh!) consecutive National 

Enduro championship aboard her Husqvarna TXC250. 

Along with seven other AMA number one plates and 

two OMA championships, Mastin has racked up an 

unprecedented 20 national titles in her career, making 

her the most decorated female rider in off-road. 

Now at the tail end of her 2011 season, Mastin 

looks to cap off her year with an appearance at the AMA 

EnduroCross finale in Las Vegas. We caught up with 

the busy off-road racer to hear about her 2011 season, 

and what’s in store for 2012 (hint: she has no plans to 

slow down)! 

How has your season been so far? 

It’s been kind of up and down. It’s been a bit of a roller 

coaster. But at the same time I’ve learned a whole lot. I’m 

on a new bike, my Husky is great. It’s been a lot of learning 

throughout the whole year, so it’s been up and down, but 

in the end I’m happy and I ended up winning the National 

Enduro championship. 

And this is your 11th National Enduro title? 

Yeah, it is. Eleven in a row! It makes me feel old when I 

see that! [laughs] 

On top of having a full race schedule with National 

Enduro and GNCC, you also have the ISDE every 

year, which is a huge commitment. How have you 

been able to keep up that pace? 

This year has been really difficult. It seems like everything 

this year was crammed into the summer. From June to 

August, I was so slammed because not only do I have a 

full-time job and my racing, but I also have the container 

Who Is the most decorated female In off-road? WIth 11 consecutIve natIonal enduro champIonshIps, mandI mastIn mIGht Be! 

for the Six Days. So the big container that gets loaded 

with all the bikes, inventory, all that. I do all that now. So 

we have to do that in the spring, get all that coordinated 

and this year it shipped in June. To be honest, it was 

really tough. 

When we got back from Six Days, I actually didn’t 

race for about five weeks. I just came home and I was 

pretty burned out just from everything going on and just 

took a break. 

As for 2012, do you already have a program put 

together? 

Yeah, pretty much. I think I’m going to do the same thing. 

I’ll do the GNCCs and National Enduros. Every year I talk 

about not doing the National Enduros because they are so 

spread out and it’s more expensive with all the driving. But 

then at the same time I look at the 11 championships and 

I don’t want to just give it up. So I’m pretty sure next year

I’ll do the National Enduros, the GNCCs and then I’d

With so much success in the National Enduro series 

here, have you thought about competing in any World 

Enduros? 

I was trying to do one last year. But it was short notice 

and I couldn’t get things put together in time. I did talk to 

people this year in Finland about trying to do a couple of 

the rounds [in 2012] and I talked to Maria [Forsberg] and 

she wants to do them, too. The World Enduros are really 

technical and the courses look really fun. And the girls like 

Ludevine Puy and the Swedish and the German girls are 

really good riders. I know Maria would do well at them 

and I think I’d do good, too. So yes, I would really like to 

try out some of the world rounds.

ACROSS THE POND > > > > > 

EICMA 2011 

Each year the EICMA Motorcycle Show in 

Milan, Italy dishes up plenty of new bikes 

and futuristic machinery to the international 

motorcycle crowd, and Husqvarna used 

the opportunity to make a splash with a 

bold new concept: The MOAB. This 650 

scrambler was the proud centerpiece of 

the Husky display, with the retro-inspired 

styling invoking the legendary image of Steve 

McQueen. 

The color scheme, right down to every last 

detail, both in bodywork and mechanics, is 

taken from Steve McQueen’s immortal 400. 

The MOAB can trace its origins to our models 

from that period, legendary bikes that are offroad 

milestones, especially in the U.S. This is 

one reason for the name MOAB – after the 

evocative desert in Utah which every year 

draws huge numbers of off-road bikers. 

Its design follows the lead of the latest 

generation Husqvarna models, including the 

concave shape of the fenders, and unique 

front number plate. Tradition and high-tech 

innovation blend successfully with unique 

details like the digital instrument panel 

situated in the upper crossbar, the LEDs on 

the front number holder and the tail light. 

nuda? nuda? 

husqvarna Italy unveiled another innovative 

piece – this one off the assembly line and 

not a concept platform. the nuda 900 has 

entered production and has many asking 

if this hybrid supermoto/naked bike will 

reach north american shores. there are no 

plans at this point, but the nuda 900 and 

900r are further evidence of ideas evolving 

at husky. keep your eyes peeled for more!

How many cc’s does it 

take to win an enduro 

2 world cHampionsHip? 

Most would say 450, but Husqvarna 

proved that 310 can do the trick… in fact, 

it can do it with two rounds to spare! 

Husqvarna celebrated its first 

World Enduro Championship 

title of 2011 with Antoine Meo on 

September 4 at the GP of Andorra, 

and a second WEC title with Juha 

Salminen at the GP of France. 

Through two flawless performances 

at the GP of Andorra – the WEC’s 

penultimate event – Meo became the 

first rider of 2011 to be crowned Enduro 

World Champion! The Frenchman 

piloted his Husqvarna TE310 against 

rivals aboard more powerful 450cc 

machines in the premier E2 division, and 

claimed his second-career WEC title 

with Husqvarna. 

“It’s difficult to explain how I feel,” 

said Meo. “I’m overjoyed that all the hard 

work that everyone on the team has put 

in this year has resulted in this title.” 

Throughout seven two-day events in 

2011, Meo claimed seven day-victories, 

and only finished off the podium once. 

“Finishing races and being consistent 

is what winning championships is all 

Claiming two world titles in 

a single season is quite an 

accomplishment – wrapping 

them both up before the end of 

the series is a statement. 

about. I’m so happy to have won the 

Enduro 2 world title. It’s fantastic.” 

At the final event of the Enduro 

World Championship – the GP of 

France – it was Salminen’s turn to 

celebrate a championship. The Finnish 

enduro phenom rode to victory in the 

E1 division aboard a TE250, taking 

the championship after day one of the 

French event.

The former two-time GNCC 

champion now has eight WEC personal 

championships under his belt, and his 

most recent title marked Husqvarna’s 

80th world racing title! Husqvarna also 

claimed the manufacturers titles in both 

the E1 and E2 divisions in 2011 

through Meo and Salminen’s wins. 

“This has been a fantastic season 

for us in so many ways,” said 

Husqvarna Racing coordinator 

Martino Bianchi. “The most 

important thing is that we proved 

the competitiveness and reliability 

of both the TE250 and TE310. 

This is a great time for Husqvarna and 

for everyone in the company, as well as 

for the CH Racing Team and all of their 

partners. It’s been a long and challenging 

season and now it’s time to enjoy what we 

have achieved and celebrate!”

WHAT THE EDITORS 

ARE SAYINg 

Husqvarna motorcycles continue to be a hit 

with customers, but it’s been nice to receive 

some positive press, to boot. Here’s a sampling of 

what the top editors have to say. 

scan for more press revIeWs 

Cycle News – 

September 2011 

“We’ll get straight to the point 

– [the new TXC310] is a kick 

in the pants to ride. It has a fun 

motor that covers all the bases… 

But what probably stood out most was the TXC’s light-feeling and agile 

chassis. Steering is light and precise and is just so easy to throw around and 

maneuver. We’re quite sure this will be Husky’s most sought-after off-road 

machine in 2012.” 

Dirt Bike Magazine – October 2011 

“For some time, we’ve suspected that this is the best bike in the Husky line. 

Now that we have some time on it, we realize the 310 can contend as the 

best dual-sport bike anywhere.” 

Motorcyclist – May 2011 

“Husqvarna is a great marque, and support behind the bikes is at an alltime 

high, so expect to see a greater number of the red-and-white bikes on 

the tracks and trails near you.” 

We were thrilled to 

reveal the 2012 line 

of husqvarna off- 

road motorcycles 

to the media in 

august of 2011, 

and since then, 

the newest husky 

models have been 

splashed across the 

pages of motorcycle 

magazines, and 

appearing in 

features, reviews 

and videos on the 

web. here’s another 

look at the entire 

line of 2012 huskys. 

TXC CROSS-COuNTRy 

Made for the trail, but bred for 

competition, the Husqvarna line 

of TXC motorcycles is designed 

to meet the high demands of U.S. 

off-road racing. Based on the TE 

platform and infused with the 

high-performance tuning of the 

TC motocrossers, these hybrids 

bring a sharp competitive edge 

to the rugged world of off-road 

competition. Bored and stroked 

from the 250cc platform, the allnew 

TXC310 provides phenomenal 

low-end torque while still retaining 

quick-handling characteristics of a 

small-bore. 

TE DuAl-PuRPOSE 

For 2012, the most versatile line of 

street-legal off-road motorcycles 

widens its scope even more with the 

introduction of the revised TE250. 

Nearly two inches shorter than the 

310 by way of lowered suspension, 

the TE250 is very approachable for 

“inseam-challenged” riders. At the 

same time, it spares nothing when 

it comes to the high-performance 

and top-level components of the 

Husqvarna TE line! 

TC/CR MOTOCROSS/GP 

A dose of F1 race technology 

punches up the performance of 

the new TC250. The chassis is 

fine-tuned with revised Kayaba 

suspension and a stronger chromoly 

frame. Robust power and sharp 

handling make it Husky’s most 

competitive 250 yet. 

Get ready to flex some muscle on 

the track with the re-vamped TC449. 

Upgraded ignition, revised valve 

timing and redesigned velocity 

stack equal big power gains on 

the 2012 TC449. 

The rules of competition may have 

changed, but the fun-factory of an 

eighth-liter two-stroke has not. Take 

to the track on a Husqvarna CR125 

and take along the prime schoolboy 

class advantage – a 144cc top-end 

kit – free with every 125! 

WR TWO-STROkE 

CROSS-COuNTRy 

The premix is still flowing at 

Husqvarna, where the WR line of 

off-road two-strokes is still going 

strong. The ultimate in light weight 

and quick-revving power, the 

WR125, WR250 and WR300 continue 

to provide outstanding performance 

and exceptional reliability.

EvEnTual winnER Jason Thomas (17) and ThE REsT of ThE “diRTY dozEn” 

prepare for the fInal dealer kart race at pole posItIon raceWay. 

With all the recent progress at Husqvarna, 

it might be hard to keep up. Fortunately 

HMNA invited all its dealers out to Corona, 

California to see all the development first hand. 

The 2011 Husqvarna Dealer Meeting weekend 

started off with the Open House of the brand 

new Husky Headquarters, where dealers 

joined industry guests and media for a cocktail 

party and viewing of the entire 2012 line. On 

Saturday morning it was off to the races – the 

kart races that is. Pole Position Raceway was 

host to the dealer meeting and discussions, 

immediately followed by lunch and some fullcontact 

racing. 

hmna presIdent krIs odWarka 

hosted a round-taBle dIscussIon . 

Saturday night Husqvarna dealers headed 

to the Ontario AMA EnduroCross where they 

were guests at the Zip-Ty Racing pits and 

were treated to a track-walk and dinner at the 

Citizen’s Business Bank Arena. On Sunday 

dealers were turned loose on Carlsbad 

Raceway at The Ranch in Anza, California 

for a full day of fun in the dirt. Dealers got to 

RiDE MORE on the full line of 2012 Huskys 

with guests such as Fred Andrews of FAR 

Husqvarna, Larry Roeseler, Chuck Sun and Ty 

Davis. Check out pictures and faces from the 

September event, which preceded what will be 

a season of record sales!

PRO RIDE Juha Salminen’s 

JUHA SAlMINEN is no stranger to 

winning, and there is little doubt that 

he is one of the best off-road riders in 

the world today. The “Flying Finn” has 

had a challenging last few years, but it is 

little surprise to see him back on top with 

another Enduro World Championship 

on his CH Racing Monster Energy 

Husqvarna TE250! 

Salminen’s championship marked the 

second World Enduro title for Husqvarna 

in 2011, as Antoine Meo topped the 

prestigious Enduro 2 division at the 

previous round aboard a TE310. 

“It’s great to have won another title, and 

to be a part of what has been a fantastic 

season for Husqvarna,” said Salminen. 

“Everyone on the team has put in a huge 

amount of effort this year and that’s been 

rewarded with two world titles. It’s been 

a fantastic season and it feels great to be 

world champion again.” 

“In the U.S., the TE250 is a dual-purpose 

bike, but the European-spec TE250 is 

most closely related to our TXC250,” 

explained Husqvarna Product and 

Racing Manager Derek Sorenson. “A lot 

of the research and development for our 

250cc cross-country four-stroke come 

straight from the CH Racing team, and 

we obviously couldn’t have a better 

team for the task. Juha has helped us 

bring the Husqvarna marquee back to 

where it belongs – on top of the podium 

in the world’s most prestigious off-road 

championship.”
