HUSQVARNA WR 300 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Swedish motorcycle maker released the Husqvarna WR 300, an off-road motorcycle in its second production year. It was a transformation kit of the smaller WR 250 model and a perfect replica of the motorcycle raced by Seb Guillaume in Class Three of the Enduro World Championship series.

The 2010 was delivered in the same shape and form as the previous model, packing the same visual, performance, and technical characteristics without any modifications whatsoever.

Husqvarna was a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor power products, such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, trimmers, brush cutters, cultivators, garden tractors, and, why not, motorcycles. The company was founded in 1689 as a firearm manufacturer and was one of the oldest continuously running companies in the world.

Aesthetically, the motorcycle was similar to the smaller version, packing standard features like wire-spoke wheels with black anodized rims and off-road tires, a single seat, a small cowl with a tiny headlight, and a single exhaust system with a high-mounted silencer on the right-hand-side.

The bike rolled on a 21-inch front wheel softened by an inverted adjustable Marzocchi fork and stopped by a 260 mm brake disc with a hydraulic caliper. The rear was controlled by an 18-inch wheel with an adjustable Sachs shock and a 220 mm brake rotor clamped by a hydraulic caliper.

Power-wise, the 2010 Husqvarna WR 300's heartbeat was set by a 293cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 38 mm Mikuni carburetor in charge and a five-speed gearbox with a chain drive.
