Husqvarna FE 250 2015

Husqvarna FE 250 2015

During the test, we rode the FE250 in standard condition and then also with the Rekluse automatic clutch. The automatic clutch really suits the FE250, which is easy to ride and easy on the eyes. The accessory is probably also perfectly suited to the bike's target group. All in all, the FE250 is a motorbike that can do much more than one would expect at first glance. In very hard sections, however, it is the less talented riders who would like to have a little more torque.

Very easy to ride

engine responds well over the entire rev range

light and manageable but not nervous like the 350

high-quality components.

When it comes to riding errors on steep slopes or in front of large obstacles, the 250 cannot work magic

although the 250 likes to present itself as an entry-level enduro, it is logically almost as expensive in the price list as the big enduros.

The KTM 390 Duke is a bike that can polarise. Its strengths lie in its extensive electronic equipment, agile handling and ability to serve as a fun bike for young riders. However, the firm riding position and inconsistent engine tuning could be annoying for experienced riders. Yet the KTM 390 Duke offers plenty of riding pleasure, especially in urban environments and on sporty rides.
