Husqvarna Motorcycles reveals 2024 FS 450 supermoto
Enhanced with a new look for 2024, Husqvarna Motorcycles’ FS 450 has set a high bar for supermoto bikes. The FS 450 is a highly capable short circuit racer with competition-focused components to ensure on-track performance. The machine features a new high-grip seat cover and white, gray, and yellow graphics for a distinctive appearance.
Powered by a 450 cc SOHC 4-stroke engine, the characteristics of the FS 450 can be fine-tuned by taking advantage of the handlebar-mounted map select switch. The activation of launch control, traction control, and the innovative quickshifter for precise upshifts can all be controlled, even under hard acceleration.
The hydro-formed chromium molybdenum frame ensures a high level of rider feedback with a polyamide-reinforced aluminum subframe aiding handling. With its engine positioned inside the frame to enhance mass centralization and equipped with the latest WP suspension, the FS 450 delivers an exceptional on-track experience for riders of all abilities.
Assembled skillfully with quality, race-tested hardware including Alpina wheels, a Suter anti-hopping clutch, and high-performance Brembo brakes, the FS 450 is built for racing and, according to the company, is the most powerful, best handling, and most complete supermoto machine on the market today.
