However, the FE 250 does have some weaknesses. It may struggle with riding errors on steep slopes or in front of large obstacles, as it cannot work magic in these situations.

The TE 125, on the other hand, is less forgiving of mistakes due to its limited engine power.

In summary, the Husqvarna FE 250 2015 and the Husqvarna TE 125 2016 are both capable enduro motorcycles with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Husqvarna FE 250 2015

During the test, we rode the FE250 in standard condition and then also with the Rekluse automatic clutch. The automatic clutch really suits the FE250, which is easy to ride and easy on the eyes. The accessory is probably also perfectly suited to the bike's target group. All in all, the FE250 is a motorbike that can do much more than one would expect at first glance. In very hard sections, however, it is the less talented riders who would like to have a little more torque.
