2011 model TE250, TE310 and TC250

Husqvarna only knows one mode at the moment: flat knacker. Over the past few weeks, we have reported the BMW-owned marque is preparing to launch a fresh assault on the 450cc motocross market, that a long overdue 50cc mini bike is now on the way, and that its single-cylinder big-bore road and dual-purpose bikes have been given a makeover.

Now we have details on three of its 2011 off-road models: the TE250, TC250 and TE310.

The triumvirate share a number of key new components, including a reinforced and redesigned chassis, hubs, graphics, engine guards, waterproof spark plug cover, and exhaust pipe heart protector.

The TC250 now has the batter-less fuel injection system already domiciled in the TE250, and it also gets an Akrapovic exhaust with a titanium silencer.

The TE250 may have the same engine, but there have been a number of other tweaks, including a new silencer, CDI with dual selectable maps, airbox, suspension settings and handguards. The tank is now 8.5lt, up from 6.2.

Finally, the TE310 has taken on board the TE250 engine, but with a bigger bore and stroke of 82.0mm x 57.3mm to lift capacity to 302.44cc. The throttle body is the same as that on the TC250 -- a 45mm Mikuni 45mm.

The exhaust system is specially designed for the 310 and, as in the other models, has a new heat protection on the silencer. The bike is 6kg lighter than the previous version, and now tips the scales at 106.

Otherwise the TE310 has the same features as the TE250, with the new reinforced chassis, new Grimeca hubs, a Kayaba 48mm fork and Sachs shock absorber. Fuel capacity is also 8.5lt.

Pricing is still to be announced on all three models, which will be available in October (TC250) and November (TE250 and TE310).
