6. Husqvarna TX 300, $9399
Husqvarna is legendary for producing amazing off-road racing motorcycles, and its XC 300 continues the tradition created by such iconic machines as the Husqvarna 400 and 250 eight speed of the 1970s and the Husqvarna 500 XC of the 1980s. These days, though, the TX 300 shares more in common with the KTM 250/300 XC than any of the Swedish-built Huskies of yesteryear. That includes its KTM-designed 293.2cc two-stroke engine, which is designed to be as small and compact as possible, thanks to shaft arrangements aimed at centralizing oscillating mass. A counter balancer shaft reduces is also used to reduce vibration, while a twin-valve controlled power valve ensures optimal performance helps to deliver the TX 300’s ample power smoothly. Other cool features include, a six-speed, wide-ratio transmission, WP’s AER 48 air fork, a fully adjustable WP shock, Magura hydraulic-actuated clutch and electric start. If you like to ride fast in open terrain, choosing the TX 300 from our Ten Best Two-Stroke Dirt Bikes for Off-Road Riding list is really a no-brainer.
