KTM Sold Husky Engines to GasGas

This is pretty interesting. I am glad that the Husky technology did not go to waste.

So....4T GasGas bikes in 2015 should be available in the US? Sign me up for a 310 Gasser

I was really saddened to hear that Husqvarna was purchased by the Pumpkin Cult, but this news just about makes up for it. It would be cool if they got the frame technology too. The Huskies were really stabile at high speed and fit larger riders well.

TL;DR version is BMW sold Husky to KTM, who then merged them with Husaberg. So now Husqvarnas are blue and white KTMs, and Husaberg doesn't exist anymore.

Since KTM are using their engines in the new Husqvarnas, I guess they felt that selling the license for the 'old' BMW husky motors was worthwhile, and so GasGas has bought it from them.

Like Beta using KTM's RFS 4T motors some five years ago.

I know a few folks who love the Husky 310 motor as long as it is retrofitted with the injector body with more holes.
