According to Husky, the hydro-formed frame enhances rider feedback. A new polyamide-reinforced aluminum subframe also plays a crucial role in aiding handling and ensuring comfort. The bike’s engine has also been repositioned in the new frame, with Husky saying the new location improves mass centralization. As you might expect, the supermoto machine comes with WP suspension, Alpina wheels, a Suter anti-hopping clutch, and Brembo brakes. Husky says that the FS 450 “…unquestionably remains as the most powerful, best-handling, and most complete supermoto machine on the market today.” If you want to add to the FS 450’s overall package, Husky offers a selection of technical accessories through its Husqvarna dealers. According to Husqvarna and in keeping with the competition focus of the bike, “…each component on offer is designed to enhance on-track performance, reduce weight, or add durability to this exceptional supermoto machine.” Photo: Husqvarna The 2023 Husqvarna FS 450 is now available worldwide from authorized Husqvarna dealers.
