Sure am glad KTM bought the Husqvarna brand. I remember them saying, that in the future, they would be making models that were more Husqvarna than just re-branded KTM's. Still waiting.

Are those wheels black or gunmetal? It may be the photos, but they look like dark gray. That's a killer look, if so!

I have a 2020 FC350 and a 2021 TC125. The Husky's are different than the KTM's. The carbon subframe and bodywork make the Husky feel a little smaller and then the shorter suspension on the 2021-2022 makes them even smaller yet. If you ride a KTM back to back with the equivalent model Husky, the size difference is very apparent. Then there's also the different suspension settings too.

I tried to go a similar route with my refresh on my 19. Did 21s have a brembo clutch?

21's have a Magura clutch and the brakes are Brembo calipers with Magura master cylinders. I personally don't see much benefit to the 2022 switch to all Brembo as the 2021 stuff works just fine.

Can you notice a handling differentere between Husky and KTM due to the shorter Suspension and different Linkage ?
I‘ve read a MXA Test about the 2021 TC 250 and now the Husky became interresting for me with the lower Chassis

Yes, you can notice improved cornering on the lowered bikes. They corner very well. Also, I really like the suspension on my 2021 TC125. I would say it is damn near as good as the "magical" KYB SSS stuff on the YZ125 I had before. As I understand it, the 2 stroke TC's have different settings/valving than the 4-stroke FC's. I haven't ridden a 2021 TC250 but I bet the suspension and handling are very good on it.

Do we know if they kept the lowered suspension for 2022?

Yea, I cant see why they dont completely re-invent the wheel. The current white bikes are light years away from being competitive, so they might as well start over. SMH

Can’t wait to see the huge price jump from the 2021’s.

I've got the current generation and have to agree. The 17-18 was a fiiine looking bike 👌

For 2022 is it just a Brembo clutch and graphics or am I missing some other changes? Presumably minot tweaks to the suspension but I mean real changes.

That is about it. Which was expected, next years bike (or the 2022 Factory/Rockstar edition) will be an all new generation.

Thanks man, I didn't see anything else obvious, but I figured that didn't mean there wasn't something else tucked away in there.

I was aware of the extra year before a 'real' update though, guessing that's the electric powered stuff getting the lions share of R&D money?

The last significant chassis update was 2019 so this is on a typical 4 year cycle like the Japanese. Last year they made significant changes to the aer fork.

What brand tank is that? Clarke tend to go for big tops, but I've never seen one that cantilevers back over the seat like that .

Is it a full, one piece tank, or, is that 'box' a separate thing, held on at the original tank cap area?

The 'box' on top ranks right up there with the add on they welded to Dave Thorpes' SR500 Kawasaki back, in1990 - except that was an emergency one, to get him through a 40 +2 Moto in the sand at the Dutch GP, and that one pictured (I assume) is one on the market.

If I recall correctly, Thorpe didn't do / finish the 2nd Moto because he almost knackered himself. Wish I could find a picture of it - it was nasty.

Oh, I found a picture of it :



On second thoughts, that Husky tank is a tiny little 'baby bump' compared to that thing. Woohoo

Acerbis 3.0 gal tank. I was hesitant to get it but have yet to have any close calls with it sticking up. I should have just gone with the fx model tank...next time.

Not typical for KTM / Husky though, but I appreciate what you're saying. Nice that the 19> bikes get another year of looking current at least.
