HUSQVARNA FC 450 Rockstar Edition 2023

With a maximum power of over 63 hp, the SOHC engine of 450 cm³ results from advanced design techniques, for a weight of just 26.8 kg. The centralization of the masses of key elements was essential during the design, as was repositioning the engine closer to the center of gravity to better maneuverability and greater agility. The engine has been tilted 2 degrees backwards and the pinion the secondary shaft placed 3 mm lower. The final result has greatly improved the anti-squat behavior of the chassis, for smoother acceleration on difficult terrain.

New engine mounts and redesigned frame reduce total weight while improving flexibility and stability, this which is particularly felt when braking in turns. The frame itself is state-of-the-art in steel hydroformed, laser cut and assembled by automated welding, and features a high-quality white lacquer which gives it a real racing look. Built to flexibility parameters longitudinal and torsion precisely calculated, the chassis provides feedback to the pilot, absorption exceptional energy and straight-line stability. Moreover, a two-component CFRP composite protective shoe protects the frame and the driver of impacts.

The subtly redesigned tank supports improve ergonomics while creating a progressive new look. Dots of contact of the ultra-thin covering offer total freedom of movement, which allows pilots to give their best on their own for long periods of time. The GUTS saddle cover Ultra grippy racing has been placed on 5 mm saddle foam thicker and slightly wider allowing the pilot to stay in place during sudden acceleration. The last Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing graphics, applied in using specific technology for a durable finish and quality, complement the modifications made to the modernized exterior.
