Aaron Bernandez in 2008 Enduro World Championship with Husqvarna
Bernandez has recently tested the new Husky 2008 Enduro range in occasion of the annual Husqvarnada held in Lleida last week end and has shown his enthusiasm and satisfaction for his new bike.
Bernandez can't wait to start his new challenge and to measure his talent with the biggest Enduro World Championship names.The bike, Husqvarna TE 450, the rear suspension is completely new, with a brand new link, new swingarm and a new offset Sachs shock absorber, revised for new progression. The new rear suspension has been designed with the intent of reducing the load on the frame which is lower by 40% compared to 2007 models. The new shock absorber has an 18mm piston in place of the previous 16mm type, with more oil flow thereby offering improved adjustability. New is the sub frame, reducing by 1 kilo the assembly of rear frame, seat and new airbox. The frame/suspension allows for a straight air inlet duct with notable benefits in terms of air intake.
The Husqvarna TE 450 now also has a new design of aluminum engine guards and frame guards have also been redesigned to be more compact and light. The tank has been modified and is mounted both on Motocross and Enduro models.
