CH Racing WXE 50 - Specifications & Review

Company History

CH Racing is best understood as a competition outfit and engineering shop rather than a volume motorcycle manufacturer. Under Roberto Azzalin, the team became synonymous with Husqvarna’s enduro and supermoto success in the 1990s and 2000s, fielding riders who won world titles and developing parts that later informed production bikes. The shop’s work bridged the gap between works race machinery and customer-available performance, with chassis tweaks, engine mapping, and durability upgrades that addressed the realities of multi-day enduros. Even when corporate ownership changes shuffled logos and contracts, CH Racing’s core contribution remained: relentless testing and an ability to turn rider feedback into lap-time or stage-time improvements. Historically, CH Racing represents Italy’s deep bench in motorsport artisanship—small, focused teams that punch above their weight by obsessing over details. For fans, the significance lies in lineage: many of the behaviors we expect from modern enduro bikes (nimble geometry, predictable throttle response, sturdy subframes) were sharpened in shops like CH’s, then distilled into showroom models. While the badge doesn’t appear on mass-market tanks, its fingerprints are on trophies—and on the grins of riders who discovered that a well-set-up single can make hard terrain feel like choreography.
