2022 Husqvarna TE300i Fuel Injected 2 Stroke - Dirt Bike Magazine

#dirtbike #twostroke #offroad
This week we got to ride the 2022 Husqvarna TE300i fuel injected two stroke. The Husky TE300i still uses Transfer Port Injection, as do all the off-road two-strokes in the combined KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas motorcycle lines. Mikuni carbs still come on the motocross models of the 50, 65, 85 125 and 250. There is a racing version of the TE300i called theTX300i. It also has transfer Port Injection, but is in a more aggressive state of tune, both motor and suspension-wise. It’s also over 10 pounds lighter, mostly due to the TX’s air fork. The TE uses the Xplor coil-spring fork and has lights and instruments. Both the TE300i and the TX300i have the same MSRP: $10,599. Yes, that’s more expensive (again). The nearly identical 2020 versions were $500 less. In case you haven’t noticed; everything is more expensive now from rent to gas. So it goes. There’s nothing I don’t love about the TE300i. The power is ideal for tight trails and it never, ever stalls. It’s light (235 pounds without fuel) and insanely easy to ride. Increasingly, I’ve heard riders complain that the TE and all it’s TPI brethren are too smooth. Some riders like the old-school hit that carbureted bikes had. I don’t think there’s any such thing as too smooth, myself, but I know that the TE lacks a little bit of a thrill factor. In terms of outright horsepower and acceleration, there was no measurable difference between the first TPI 300 and the last of the ones with Mikuni carburetors. It’s generally accepted that the 300 two-strokes with Keihin carbs had the best balance between smooth power and excitement. There are more kits showing up every day with different variations of fuel-delivery. Some relocate the injectors, others bring back carburetion. We’ll be testing them all, so stay tuned.The only mechanical change for the Husky 300 is the move to BrakTec hydraulic components for the clutch and the brakes. Last year, Husqvarna used Magura for all its off-road bikes. They haven’t said much about this change, but it seems to be about supply.

What a sound!

[@LeeWalklin]

I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning! 👌

[@edwardvermeulen9781]

Best bikes ever💪🏁

[@johnmorrison8351]

Beautiful bike! I was on the lookout for one of these but just picked up a ‘22 300xcw instead. I’m looking forward to breaking it in and getting out there!

[@bowilloughby2403]

Thats hilarious, my seat wasn’t mounted correctly either lol but great bike. At first it felt as though 1st and 2nd gears are nothing. 2nd is almost a granny gear, but not until i got on some steep singles and climbs. The short ratio builds the compression under the low end so beautifully it is almost too much for one to comprehend 😳

Hell of a bike! I love my 21 Rockstar edition.

[@Thewiruz1]

Husqvarna and Husaberg use to be awesome Swedish engineering. Now it's something else

[@joshuavanzuydam5044]

Both Bikes are competition bikes. The TX is dialed towards Enduro GP style Cross Country Enduro racing.

[@johnbarrios1598]

Looks so sweet..

[@samchapman9080]

Good video

[@joshuavanzuydam5044]

I don't know how you review a full blown enduro machine without taking it into technical terrain and very tight sigle track or very steep climbs.

[@zachflores1505]

This is an insane bike the technology is crazy

[@jugg4649]

I'm in love so much

[@bosrobot8037]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ddgg5349]

beauty and strong😊😊

[@robbed_of_sanity]

Aww so this is how you're supposed to warm up a tpi bike. Interesting...

[@woodsripper]

It would be great to see a 250 TPI vs 300 TPI review, especially in east coast woods.

[@jens-uwekrupke8040]

I also want have this machine. I love it.

[@hamilrammer]

I have a 2019 te300i. Love the bike but my only complaint has been the Magura brakes, more specifically the front. I’m very curious about the performance of the Brake Tec brakes!

[@jordanbray2866]

can you premix on these bikes like you would do and your carburetted bikes?
