Husaberg
is a former Swedish manufacturer of off-road motorcycles. After the motorcycle section of
the traditional brand Husqvarna was bought in 1987 by the Italian
company Cagiva, the engineers stayed in Sweden and founded
Husaberg AB in 1988. This company manufactures off road
motorcycles with engines only. These machines are known for
a particularly good chassis and larger displacement engines.
The Austrian motorcycle
manufacturer KTM bought Husaberg in 1995. Although Husaberg
motorcycles were produced at the KTM factory in Mattighofen,
Austria since 2003 the development department remains in Sweden.
It is asserted that the
reliability and quality of the engines have clearly improved. It
is also asserted that KTM studied the design of the Husaberg
engines to improve its own. The current KTM slogan, "Ready to
Race", was also taken from Husaberg, whose current slogan is
now "4 Stroke Force".
