An injection of something new. This phrase summarizes the work carried out by engineers from Husqvarna’s R&D department on the new 2008 SM 450/510 R models. All the modifications and additions made to these models were the result of testing carried out by the Chereyre brothers on their World Championship Supermoto machines: the frame, forks, saddle sub-frame and filter box are all new. The engines are now fitted with fuel injection.
