The era of two-strokes got a shot in the arm when
KTM announced the creation of fuel injected two-stroke powerplants. Sister
brand Husqvarna has taken the same bikes and brought out two new Enduro
motorcycles, Husqvarna TE250i and Husqvarna TE300i.
The bikes get a pair of fuel injectors positioned at
the transfer ports, delivering the perfect amount of fuel into the engine at
all times, across all conditions. This helps in significantly reducing the fuel
consumption and emissions. The Husqvarna TE250i and Husqvarna TE300i also
promise a smooth and clean power delivery.
With the injectors delivering the fuel mixture
downwards into the transfer port, the system ensures a more efficient
combustion. Carefully placed at the rear of the cylinder, a special tube relays
intake pressure data to the new ECU.
The essential 2-stroke oil is stored in a separate
tank in the Husqvarna TE250i and Husqvarna TE300i, eliminating the need for
pre-mixing. With its filler tube running through the frame, the 0.7-litre tank
contains oil for five full tanks of fuel depending on conditions. Controlled by
the EMS, the oil pump delivers the ideal amount of oil reducing waste as well
as excessive smoke.
The bikes also boast of updated brakes and
suspension. The Husqvarna TE250i and Husqvarna TE300i will be available around
the world from July 2017 onwards.
