Vehicle Information
Husqvarna WXE 260 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1991)
The 1991 Husqvarna WXE 260 was a notable off-road motorcycle, featuring a 260cc, 17-horsepower, 1-cylinder, 2-stroke, liquid-cooled petrol engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox. This model was positioned as the primary offering for its displacement, often referred to as the "WXE Base." While Husqvarna produced other WXE models with different engine sizes (such as 125, 250, 350, and 610), these were distinct models rather than variations or trims of the 260cc version. The 1991 WXE 260 was a unique "one year only model." Husqvarna undertook a complete redesign for the 1992 model year, meaning the 1991 version represents a specific iteration before a significant platform change. There were no mid-cycle generation or engine changes within the 1991 model year itself. FAQ:
