2014
The 2014 Husqvarna FE 250 is a capable enduro motorcycle built for challenging off-road terrain. Part of Husqvarna's then-new generation of enduro bikes following their acquisition by KTM, the FE 250 aimed to offer a lightweight and agile alternative in the competitive 250cc four-stroke class. It went head-to-head with models like the Yamaha WR250F and the KTM 250 EXC-F, targeting riders who valued nimble handling and manageable power.
Powering the FE 250 is a 249.9 ccm (15.25 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This compact powerplant is designed to provide a usable and responsive power delivery throughout the rev range, crucial for navigating technical trails. The bike's dry weight is a respectable 107.5 kg (237.0 pounds), contributing significantly to its agility. It features a fuel capacity of 9.50 litres (2.51 US gallons), offering a decent range for longer rides. The seat height is set at 970 mm (38.2 inches) in its lowest setting, which might be a stretch for shorter riders but provides ample legroom for aggressive off-road riding.
The FE 250 is known for its responsive handling and relatively forgiving nature. The suspension setup is designed to soak up bumps and maintain composure on rough terrain. The upright riding position gives the rider good visibility and control, allowing for quick changes in direction. While the seat height is considerable, the narrow profile of the bike helps riders manage the height in difficult situations. The bike prioritizes off-road comfort and control over long-distance touring.
This Husqvarna is primarily intended for off-road enthusiasts who enjoy technical trails and demanding terrain. It's a suitable choice for riders looking for a lightweight and agile enduro bike. The FE 250 offers a well-balanced package for those seeking a capable off-road machine without the intimidation factor of larger displacement models. It provides a good entry point to the world of enduro riding, offering a manageable and rewarding experience for riders of varying skill levels.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Lightweight and nimble handling makes it exceptionally maneuverable in tight woods and technical terrain. • Fuel-injected 250cc engine delivers smooth, tractable power, ideal for navigating challenging trails and maintaining control. • High-quality WP suspension components (front and rear) provide excellent bump absorption and rider comfort. • Hydraulic clutch offers a light and consistent pull, reducing rider fatigue during long rides and demanding conditions. • Relatively low seat height compared to larger enduro bikes makes it more accessible for shorter riders. • Good fuel economy allows for extended rides without frequent refueling stops, enhancing its practicality.⚠️ Things to consider
• 250cc engine may lack the outright power needed for open desert riding or aggressive hill climbs compared to larger displacement bikes. • Stock gearing may require frequent shifting in certain terrains, potentially impacting riding flow and momentum. • Maintenance intervals, especially for valve adjustments, can be more frequent compared to some other enduro models. • Some riders may find the stock seat uncomfortable for extended periods, necessitating an aftermarket upgrade.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
