Got out on the new bikes yesterday. Had a couple of really good impressions, actually a couple of surprises. I will get something written up this weekend after Pala, but here are couple of quick pics, including Danny Laporte on the TC250.
Thanks for the post! Danny looks good stylin the new JT gear! You guys rode the Carlsbad track! niice!
sweet man! i was talkin to the guys at halls today about the new stuff comming out. wanting to try the new 250tc and the 310txc...heck i want to try all of them, thanks for sharing.
I was there today from 8am to 4 pm and rode every new 2012 Husky off road model Just got home but i WILL follow up tomoro with a full report So much new news to post
wow the TC449 is "the one" that's very good news!! Chilly you doing a write up on your site (enduro360) or hitting the MX nat first?
txc, i do like the option of the kickstart on mine if the easy button doesnt work for some reason though. its nice to have a backup
I so want to try that new TC250, i bet it rips now and LOVE the light feel and handling. Amazing bikes. Glad to hear you like the TC449, will be interested in your impressions. just added 11hp to my personal 511. It now breaths fire.
Kind of hard to form too many useful opinions on the models with just one day of riding a few different ones, especially if they are sprung for heavier (average) riders. I would love to pick one of each discipline and spend an entire day on each with the proper springs for my weight. I will have some comments and pics as well as news about the new line of racing clothes in a report soon.
Here is the first ride review on the TC449. This is the one bike that really spoke to me personally. Trust me, no one was more surprised than myself. This is the sneak peak, it will be live on my site later in the week. Yes, I have much more to write on the other models, will get to it as soon as I can. http://www.enduro360.com/2011/09/11/uncharacterised-posts/2012-husqvarna-tc449-first-review/
Hey Chilly. In your write up you keep talking about the new KYB shock on the 449/511s. You mention several times that the 11s had a Sachs. My 2011 TE449 most definitely has a KYB shock on it. The progressive spring is what is new for 12, not the shock itself. I found that the 2011 is way oversprung in the rear even for a 200lbs porker like me. That being said, I think I will order up the progressive from the 12 and put it on my 11.
