Test: Husqvarna TE 450 2019 // Enduro kraljica

The 450cc enduro class is perfect for me for classic enduro. The engine has enough power to do whatever you want with the bike, whether it's low revs or over 120 kilometers per hour when it's as fast as the Dakar rally. This is one of the reasons why these race cars are equipped with such single-cylinder engines.

If you are interested in extreme enduro, then this bike is not for you and it is better to do it on a two-stroke engine. 300 cubic centimeters... If we talk about paths, trails, long descents or plains, where 450 cubic feet four-stroke he develops all his strength, but no better. On the motocross track, the torque is huge, on the smaller track full of holes and jumps, I wandered through the trees and followed the canal with incredible ease. In the beginning, I still did a little bit of shifting in a great gearbox, but when I got to know the engine better, it was enough all over the track to shift the gear into third gear and just enjoy the laps.

Since the engine is not as aggressive as the off-road model, this is a great relaxation during which drivers of all skill levels can enjoy the adrenaline rush. The suspension performs excellently, as do the other components that are currently the best on the market. On slippery surfaces, the rear wheel traction control helps with torque and a huge headroom. When the rear wheel suddenly shifts to neutral, the device detects that there is no traction and reduces power or torque to the rear wheel. This is especially true when driving on slippery rocks or very slippery tracks. Excellent brakes also provide safety.

All in all, this Husqvarna is a package where flaws are hard to spot. The price is even higher as it must be deducted 10.950 euro, which is not enough. The only consolation is that these bikes hold up their value well, they are also made so well that they can withstand rougher use or more awkward falls. To enjoy the enduro ride in which you ride, and not just climb from one extreme section to another, that's the best you can guarantee.
