2022 Husqvarna TE150i Fuel Injected 2 Stroke - Dirt Bike Magazine
#motocross #dirtbike #offroad
Dirt Bike Magazine tests the 2022 Husqvarna TE150i Fuel Injected Two Stroke at some of their local trails in Southern California. This is our first experience with this bike, although we did test the 2019 Husky TE150, which was before the coming of Transfer Port Injection. You won’t find anything exactly like the Husky 150 in the extended Austrian brotherhood of KTM and GasGas off-road bikes, although several machines are close. The TE150i is based on the Husqvarna TC125 motocross bike but with a 4mm increase in bore, bringing the displacement to 144cc. The TE also has electric start, oil injection and TPI fuel injection, none of which can be found on the TC125. Both are six-speeds, but first is considerably lower on the 150 while sixth is about 10 percent taller. The KTM 150XC-W is another blood relative. It has the same TPI motor, but housed in a PDS chassis. Both the KTM and the Husky off-road bikes use the WP Xplor coil-spring fork. Last year, Magura supplied all the hydraulic components for Husqvarna’s off-road bikes. This included both brakes and the hydraulic clutch. For 2022, a Spanish company called Braktec will supply these parts. That’s the only significant change for the new model year.The TE150i is one of the most forgiving dirt bikes ever. On the DB scale, it weighs 219 pounds without fuel. There’s no doubt that TPI and oil injection added a few pounds, but the bike is still insanely light. On top of that, it actually feels much lighter than any other 219-pound motorcycle we’ve ever ridden. A motor is like a big gyroscope, and when it has relatively few spinning parts as is the case with a small two-stroke, it’s easier to toss around. That’s today’s lesson in physics. This won’t surprise anyone who rides a 125 two-stroke. The TE goes a step further than that because it has much more gradual power delivery, and that allows you to pull through turns much more smoothly.The real debate revolves around how well the 150 compares to a modern 250 or 300 two-stroke. This is more of an issue now because of price. The 2022 TE150i sells for $9199. A KTM 300 is only 14 percent higher. Is the 150 so good it can compete with the undisputed off-road champion? Maybe. In outright handling, the 150 is still the king, if by only a small amount. A TE300i is 15 pounds heavier and has all those invisible forces at play. And, while both bikes are a little under suspended for fast trail riding, it’s more forgivable for the 150. The Xplor fork is purposely designed for speeds you typically find on tight trails–first- and second-gear stuff. But horsepower is horsepower. A 300 can climb bigger hills and permits lazier shifting habits. Bigger, heavier riders on steeper, more horsepower-intensive terrain will doubtlessly continue to love their 300s. Smaller, lighter riders will enjoy the 150 more.
