'08 Husqvarna Dirt Bikes
The CR125 is the only two stroke motocrosser in the '08 Husqvarna dirt bikes stable and has had quite a bit of work done to the motor this year, there's a new block with five transfer ports and the ports have been redesigned for better performance. The 125 has 45mm Marzocchi forks up front and a new rear Sachs shock.
There has been a number of changes made to the four stroke motocross range for '08. The chassis and rear subframe are all new as well as new plastics which has helped narrow the bikes across the radiator by 40mm.
The seat heights are 10mm lower, which coupled with the frame changes has lowered the centre of gravity on all the bikes to improve handling.
The rear suspension has been updated, the shock now has an 18mm piston, replacing the 16mm item used on the '07 models. Husqvarna claims this has improved oil flow and made the rear shock easier to tune.
The TC510 has 50mm Marzocchi forks and the engines come in a matte black finish with a 'racing red' valve cover.
There's not a whole lot that's new with the '08 Husqvarna dirt bikes, the enduro machines have fuel injection so it's only a matter of time before the technology is added to the motocross machines so they can keep up with the current crop of Japanese bikes being fitted with fuel injection.
