HUSQVARNA WRE 125 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the Swedish motorcycle maker released the Husqvarna WRE 125, a light, powerful, maneuverable off-road machine. It benefited from a new frame reinforced in most critical areas, new plastics, a rear fender with an LED light, an updated engine with a new exhaust pipe, and an Arrow silencer that improved engine response at low rpm.

Husqvarna was a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor power products, such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, trimmers, brush cutters, cultivators, garden tractors, and, why not, motorcycles.

The Husqvarna WRE was an off-road motorcycle manufactured from 1994 until 2013. It was powered by a 125cc engine and intended only for off-road use, not competitive use.

Visually, the motorcycle had standard fittings, like wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, a single seat, a high-mounted exhaust system, a small headlight integrated into a small cowl, and a high-mounted front fender.

Power-wise, the 2008 Husqvarna WRE 125 had installed a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled one-cylinder engine under the fuel tank, boasting 15 hp at 10,500 rpm. It was fed by a VHST 28-CS Dell'Orto carburetor and assisted by a six-speed gearbox.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 50 mm adjustable Marzocchi inverted telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was achieved by a 260 mm brake rotor mounted on the front and a 220 mm brake disc mounted on the rear.
