Husqvarna CR 65

With the new CR 65 Husqvarna enters further into the world of competitive minicross. Husqvarna joined the market in early 2010 with the automatic CR 50, a minicross for those just starting their off road racing career; with the CR 65 Husqvarna has decided to compete right from the first true bike a young off-roader rides.

Liquid-cooled engine, 6 speed gearbox, 14'/12' wheels, hydraulic clutch, Mikuni 24 mm carburettor, reed valves, the CR 65 is a true competition bike.

The chassis replicates the larger Husqvarna models, with circular and oval cross-section steel main frame tubing combined with an alloy rear sub frame. The rear swing arm is also alloy, to which the rear suspension linkage is mounted.

Front suspension consists of 35 mm USD Marzocchi forks with rebound and compression damping adjustment helping to control the 220 mm of travel, whilst the rear shock absorber is a Sachs, with compression and rebound damping adjustment. The rear suspension allows for 270 mm of wheel travel.

The front brake is a 4-piston caliper acting on a 200 mm ‘wave’ type disc, ensuring powerful but controllable braking. The rear brake is a 165 mm fixed disc with 2-piston caliper.

The aesthetic design is the most revolutionary feature of the CR 65. It is absolutely futuristic, with dashing, modern lines replicating the look of the new Husqvarna 449/511 series.

All components on the CR 65 also reflect its quality ethic: wide footrest lugs, tapered handlebars, Pirelli tyres and alloy hubs. It weighs in at only 55 kg, without fuel.
