About Husqvarna Motorcycles
Husqvarna Motorcycles is the second brand of the Bajaj Mobility group, which uses the Husqvarna name under licence: Husqvarna Group says the brand is licensed to Bajaj Mobility. It was relaunched under that name in 2014 when the Husqvarna motorcycle business the group had acquired was merged with Husaberg. It sold 25,095 motorcycles in 2025, about 12 per cent of group volume, and its off-road machines are built both in Austria and, for the Indian market, at Bajaj Auto's Chakan 2 plant. Its factory racing team took several of the 29 championship titles the group won that year.
