Featuring a compact 63 hp engine combined with a lightweight frame and modern bodywork, the FS 450 delivers confidence inspiring handling and incredible overall on-track performance, continuing Husqvarna Motorcycles’ long and successful involvement in the supermoto sector.

The perfect combination of power and agility, the FS 450’s SOHC engine features electric start and gives riders a plentiful and responsive supply of power, delivered through a PANKL Racing Systems 5-speed gearbox.

Carefully engineered levels of frame flex ensure excellent rider feedback and straight-line stability.

The FS 450’s functional bodywork delivers ergonomics that allow for superior comfort and control, ensuring increased rider performance over longer periods of time. WP XACT front forks guarantee easy adjustment and confidence inspiring front-end grip and stability, together with a WP rear shock that offers 266 mm of travel.

Enabling balanced and powerful braking, a 4-piston radially mounted Brembo calliper and pump work in conjunction with a 310 mm disc to deliver exceptional front wheel stopping performance. A single piston calliper and a 220 mm disc are mounted at the rear.

Finished with premium components, CNC machined triple clamps, Alpina wheels and Bridgestone tyres, a carbon fibre composite subframe and a Magura hydraulic clutch ensure the FS 450 delivers unrivalled, top-level supermoto performance.
