FIRST LOOK! 2013 HUSQVARNA RED HEAD MOTOCROSS MODELS & OFFROAD BIKES

Have you heard about the Red Head? Well, sit down and pull up a warm blanket while we tell you what Husky has up its sleeve for 2013
  

2013 Husqvarna TC250R.

Husqvarna’s signature Red Head –which made its debut on the 2012 TC250 – is central to the 2013 model year lineup. All 250/310 engine platforms now come with the Red Head DOHC design, including a new F1-inspired lightweight piston, new cylinder and Keihin EFI.

The finger-follower valve-train of the Red Head replaces the previous shim-and-bucket design. New cams allow longer valve lift while larger-diameter valves get air and fuel moving quicker (titanium valves on TC models).

Red Head along with revisions to velocity stack and new exhaust equal significant power improvement across the board on the cross-country TXC250R, TXC310R and TE310R (dual-sport). “R” added to the model name indicates the Red Head.
Both TXC models (250/310) are also made more aggressive with revised suspension settings. Kayaba suspension (front and rear) is upgraded to USA TC-spec.

TE Dual-Sport models receive additional all-over upgrades, such as the revised, more compact handlebar switches with waterproof connectors. The fuel system catch canister is redesigned and repositioned to be less obtrusive. Stock tires are upgraded to performance off-road DOT-approved units.
 
The TC449 returns for the 2013 model year, sporting shared changes to the Husqvarna lineup, including new all-black Domino grips, new bar pad and updated IPD (in-mold plastic design) graphics.

WR and CR two-strokes also return with the shared changes. Husqvarna is proud to announce that the CR and WR 125cc two-strokes will once again come with a free 144cc top-end including cylinder and piston – 269cc for the price of a 125!
