Overview

Introducing the 2004 Husqvarna WR 250 – a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of offroad adventure and enduro racing. As a staple in Husqvarna’s lineup, the WR 250 is designed for riders looking to conquer rugged terrains with confidence and agility. Known for its lightweight construction and nimble handling, this enduro machine appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to experience the thrill of dirt biking. With its striking red, yellow, and blue color options, the WR 250 not only performs admirably but also stands out on the trails. At the heart of the WR 250 lies a potent 249.30 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers exhilarating power and responsiveness. With a compression ratio of 8.4:1 and a carefully engineered bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm, this engine produces a thrilling ride that is both exhilarating and accessible. The liquid cooling system ensures optimal engine performance even in the most challenging conditions, while the 5-speed gearbox allows riders to seamlessly shift through gears, unlocking the full potential of this lightweight beast. Weighing in at just 108.3 kg (238.8 lbs), the WR 250 provides exceptional agility, allowing for sharp turns and quick acceleration—an essential combination for tackling tight trails and open fields. The WR 250 is built with a robust steel single tube cradle frame complemented by a rear frame made from lightweight alloy, striking the perfect balance between strength and weight. Its Marzocchi upside-down telescopic hydraulic adjustable fork in the front and a progressive soft-dump rear suspension ensure a smooth ride over rough terrain, effectively absorbing shocks and bumps along the way. The braking system, featuring single discs both front and rear, provides reliable stopping power, with a 260 mm front brake diameter that inspires confidence in all riding conditions. With a fuel capacity of 10.50 liters (2.77 gallons), riders can venture further without the constant worry of running low on fuel. **
