The current lineup includes enduro and supermoto models only. The motocross and cross-country (wide ratio gearing, no lighting kit) models have been discontinued. The model names are all composed of two letters: "F" as "Four-Stroke", then either "C" for the motocross, "E" for the enduro, "X" for the Cross-Country, or "S" for the supermoto models, followed by a number representing the engine displacement, then one last letter, either "E" for the electric-start, or "C" for the competition models (lacking kick stand, wiring harness or lights). Some older models were also listed with the number of gears: 4 or 6.

Previous models included different displacements, such as:

 

Dual Sport.

KTM.

Gas Gas.

Husaberg.

Husqvarna.

For 2009 there are two enduro models available with the new revolutionary engine and a lot of other technical highlights: Enduro:

 

On November 6, 2007, at the International Motorcycle Exhibition in Milano, Husaberg unveiled a totally new design for the FE 450 E, announced as the 2009 model. Apart from sporting new fairing, the new design will include a totally revamped engine, in a new position, rotated 180 degrees from top to bottom, and inclined forward at 70 degrees from vertical. The carburetor will be replaced by an EFI injection system and the chain drive will now be placed on the more standard left side.

 

 

 

 

 

Good results on the tracks could not compensate for slow sales, and Husaberg eventually was purchased by the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM in 1995.

Although Husaberg motorcycles have been produced at the KTM factory in Mattighofen, Austria since 2003, and the development department is also at KTM in Mattighofen, the Motorsport department remains in Sweden.

Husaberg's previous slogan, "Ready to Race" was adopted by KTM as its own. Husaberg's current slogan is now "4 Stroke Force."

 

The earlier Husaberg engines (1989-1997) were known to have premature engine failures due to the fact that they do not have an oil pump and rely on oil delivery from the timing chain.

The reliability and quality of the engines have improved over the years and is now comparable to that of more established brands.

 

Husaberg won the FIM 500 cc Motocross World Championship with Belgian rider Joël Smets in 1995, 1997 and 1998.

They also won 6 Enduro World Championships in 1990, 1991, 1995, 1996 and 1998.
