Media Advisory: 2011 Husqvarna WR150 Specification Updates
June 10, 2010 - Woodcliff Lake, NJ - Final specifications have been set for Husqvarna's much-anticipated WR150. The early-release 2011 model gets a host of refinements and upgrades from its little brother WR125 Enduro model, most noticeably the 144cc 2-stroke engine. The chassis, suspension and other key specs have also also been improved for the forthcoming U.S. launch. Although an earlier typo indicated the forks would be 48mm Kayabas, final spec actually calls for 50mm Marzocchi forks.
