Updated last year, the 2020 model sees the supermoto continue with its compact 27.3kg, 63hp, SOHC single-cylinder engine and lightweight frame, the latter incorporating a carbonfibre composite subframe.
The ultra-light FS 450 shares much of its tech with Huskvarna's FC 450 motocrosser, while braking is handled by a single 310mm front disc with radial-mount, four-piston Brembo caliper, matched to a 220mm disc with single piston caliper at the rear.
The list of high-spec gear continues with CNC-machined triple clamps, Alpina spoked rims shod with Bridgestone racing slicks, and a Magura hydraulic clutch.
Other 2020 Husqvarna FS 450 highlights include:
- WP XACT front fork
- WP rear shock (with 266mm of wheel travel)
- Pro Taper handlebar
- Launch control
- 44mm Keihin throttle body
While local pricing is yet to be announced, the 2020 Husqvarna FS 450 supermoto will be available worldwide from this month. See your local Husqvarna Motorcycles dealership for more information.
