Built for competition – Husqvarna Motorcycles FS 450 available now

Subtle refinements enhance class-leading supermoto racer for 2022

Delivering the highest levels of on-track enjoyment together with guaranteed performance, the 2022 FS 450 has received precise enhancements to ensure it retains its position as the leading supermoto racer on the market. Available now from your local Husqvarna Motorcycles dealership, the FS 450 features striking new colours, while also benefitting from a Brembo hydraulic clutch system for perfect, fade-free action in all conditions.

Maintaining its premium WP Suspension for accurate handling and impeccable stability, the WP XACT forks with AER technology feature a mid-valve damping system that guarantees consistent front-end suspension performance, even on the roughest of surfaces. Together with an easily adjustable WP XACT shock, these proven components create an incredibly smooth riding experience for racers of all abilities.

Powered by a compact 63 hp SOHC engine, the FS 450 delivers impressive performance, offering responsive and usable power, delivered smoothly thanks to the Pankl Racing Systems 5-speed gearbox and the all-new Brembo hydraulic clutch system.

Ensuring powerful yet controlled stopping power, a 4-piston, radially mounted Brembo brake caliper works in conjunction with a 310 mm disc to create incredible braking performance at the front wheel. A single piston brake caliper and a 220 mm disc are mounted at the rear.

The FS 450’s functional bodywork provides ergonomics designed for exceptional rider comfort and is further enhanced by the high-grip seat cover, which improves control in all weather conditions.

Featuring a long list of premium hardware, including CNC machined triple clamps, ProTaper handlebars, Alpina wheels, Bridgestone tyres, and a carbon fibre composite subframe, the FS 450 is a class-leading supermoto machine that offers unrivalled, top-level performance.
