Husqvarna TE 300 Pro 2026 Review: Riding Qualities
In the City
This is not its environment. The turning radius is good, but the knobby tires and the absence of a key make urban use discouraged.
Suburban
Acceptable for short transfers. Beyond 15 km, the hard seat and lack of protection become evident limitations.
Highway
Absolutely discouraged. The engine suffers at constant revs and tire vibrations make the ride unstable.
Mountain Passes
Fun on dirt roads or adjacent mule tracks, less so on paved hairpins where the knobs "drift" significantly.
Two-up (With Passenger)
An experience to be limited to emergencies only.
Off-road
It is the queen. The handling is superb; the bike feels lighter than its approximately 108 kg dry weight. Stability at high speeds is guaranteed by the new chassis dimensions of the 2026 frame. Coupled with excellent stability in fast sections, there is high maneuverability and chassis reactivity that allow for fast exits even from the most technical and difficult spots. The faster you are capable of going, the more precisely and surgically the chassis responds. Not an easy bike to ride—reactive and fast—it can challenge less experienced riders because it is very responsive and high speeds are reached in a short time. A bike to be treated with respect ("dare del LEI"), but one that rewards with dynamic performance at the top of the category. The pilot does the rest, but a "true" pilot is needed here to exploit it to the fullest.
