Husqvarna WR 250 (2001 – 2003)

Husqvarna WR 250 (2001 - 2003)

The Husqvarna WR 250 is a force to be reckoned with on the trails, boasting a Sachs progressive “Soft Damp” type with a single hydraulic shock absorber.

We put the Husky through its paces in vastly different conditions, from the dry Watagans to demanding off-road terrain, and it consistently delivered.

The engine’s bottom-end to mid-range power is impressive, with a slight emphasis on easy progression through the rev range, which aids traction in tight and steep sections. Peak power is slightly higher than its KTM 250EXC counterpart.

Where the Husky truly excels is in its ability to conquer challenging terrain with its immense torque and unstoppable hill-climbing capabilities.

The Husqvarna WR 250 is a highly capable and confident off-road companion, offering a perfect blend of power, handling, and durability.
