Husqvarna hasn’t gone wild for 2026 – the enduro range sees mostly subtle updates rather than a complete overhaul. But a few key changes are worth paying attention to.
What’s Changed
Visually, Husqvarna has freshened up the range with new graphics, radiator shrouds, rear mudguards, and fork guards. The classic Swedish-inspired look is cleaner and sharper, while a new fuel line protector adds a small but important boost to durability.
The suspension sees the most meaningful updates. WP XACT Closed Cartridge forks now feature polished springs, a new pressure reservoir, and a one-piece hydrostop for improved damping. Compression and rebound settings have also been tweaked, and the rear shock has matching updates to keep the chassis balanced and handling predictable.
The 2-Strokes
The TE 150 (New Zealand only) and the TE 300 carry over but benefit from Husqvarna’s Throttle Body Injection (TBI), which keeps power smooth and predictable. Riders familiar with these bikes will notice a slightly more refined feel under throttle.
The 4-Strokes
The FE 250, FE 350, FE 450 (Australia only), and FE 501 continue to dominate their respective classes. Each comes with selectable engine maps, a Quickshifter, and Traction Control, giving riders more control over performance in any terrain. Small tweaks to the electronics and suspension make a noticeable difference for riders who push hard over varied tracks.

Other Notable Updates

The takeaway? The 2026 Husqvarna enduro range isn’t a reinvention, but the small updates – suspension tweaks, new graphics, and durability improvements – are meaningful for anyone who spends serious time off-road. Production kicks off in August, with the bikes hitting dealerships in Australia and New Zealand from November 2025. The TE 300 is arriving in January 2026.
