With 2020 being a huge year for the Husqvarna brand with an almost ground-up build, it is no surprise that the only changes coming for 2021 is the graphics kit. Still, nothing to sneeze at as these models are still class-leading in the Enduro world.

From the TE 150i, to the TE 250i, TE 300i, FE 250, FE 350, FE 450 and FE 501, the entire enduro model range features unparalleled attention to detail and a fresh and vibrant, three-colour restyling.

KTM were late to the party again with their venture into the grey sideboards, as Husqvarna has been doing it for a year now. Still better late than never right?
