2019 Husqvarna FS 450 | FIRST LOOK
Cycle News Staff | July 19, 2018
The Husqvarna FS 450 supermoto gets a major redo for 2019.
It’s built on the same platform as the all-new 2019 Husqvarna FC 450 motocrosser, and the most notable change is the FS’s completely redesigned bodywork. Less noticeable is the new more compact SOHC cylinder head that is 1.1 pounds lighter and the new two-piece subframe that is more than a half-pound lighter. In all, at a claimed 226.9 pounds (dry), the new FS 450 is approximately five pounds lighter than the previous model.
Other notable updates include a blue-coated frame that has been redesigned for increased rigidity, revised WP AER 48 forks and WP DCC shock settings, and new fuel line and throttle cable routing.
The 2019 Husqvarna FS 450 will be available in September.CN
