Husqvarna have announced updates to their FS 450
Supermoto motorcycle. The 2018 machine gets a new slipper clutch that was
developed by Suter Industries helping to keep the bike stable under hard
breaking and when downshifting.
The 450 cc engine is housed in a new lightweight
chromoly frame that has been developed by WP with calculated parameters of
longitudinal and torsional flex with the rear subframe being uniquely
constructed using 30% carbon fibre for reduced weight and increased strength.
The bike has a launch control feature that can be
accessed from a switch on the handlebars, which is also used to change the
engine map. Helping deliver the power of the machine is a 44 mm Keihin throttle
body. Finally, complementing the updates comes a new graphic design for the
motorcycle.
The FS 450 will be available from July, contact your
nearest Husqvarna dealership for more information.
