Following the announcement in November last year that Husqvarna will field Britain’s Danny Kent and Finnish rider Niklas Ajo in a Red Bull-backed Moto3 effort comes the first photos of the bike in its racing livery.

Kent had previously raced Moto3 for KTM and team manager, Aki Ajo, winning races at Valencia and Motegi in 2012. Niklas Ajo will be racing his third season in Moto3 next year, after finishing 19th overall in 2012 and 14th in 2013.

According to Husky’s Facebook page the team is busy setting up the Moto3 bikes for the upcoming season.

“Entering the Moto3 World Championship is a new milestone in the history of Husqvarna,” says Husky’s head of Motorsport, Pit Beirer. “We are looking forward to the start of Husqvarna’s new journey into Grand Prix Road Racing.”
