Husqvarna, the Swedish manufacturer of motorcycles and outdoor power products, has announced the launch of its new and improved 2024 FS 450 Supermoto bike. The new bike features several upgrades and changes from the previous model, including improved handling, updated suspension, and a fresh new look.
The FS 450 Supermoto is a high-performance motorcycle designed for both street and off-road use. It is a popular choice among riders who enjoy both racing and casual riding. The bike’s supermoto design features a hybrid wheel setup with 17-inch wheels on the front and rear, making it ideal for racing on pavement and dirt tracks.
The new 2024 model features a completely redesigned frame, which Husqvarna says provides better rigidity and improved handling. The frame is also lighter than the previous model, making it easier to handle and maneuver.
One of the most significant updates to the new FS 450 is its suspension system. Husqvarna has installed new WP XACT air forks and a WP XACT shock absorber, which the company says provides superior handling and comfort. The new suspension also includes a wider range of adjustments, allowing riders to fine-tune the bike’s performance to their liking.
The 2024 FS 450 also features a new look, with redesigned bodywork that is both stylish and functional. The bike has a sleek and aggressive design, with a black and yellow color scheme that is sure to turn heads. The new bodywork also provides better airflow to the engine, helping to keep it cool during long rides and races.
Husqvarna has also made some changes to the bike’s electronics. The new model comes equipped with a six-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which provides real-time information about the bike’s position and movement. This information is used to control the bike’s traction control and anti-wheelie systems, improving performance and safety.
In terms of performance, the 2024 FS 450 is powered by a 450cc single-cylinder engine that produces 63 horsepower and 47 pound-feet of torque. The bike’s engine is mated to a five-speed transmission and features a slipper clutch that reduces rear-wheel chatter during hard downshifts.
Overall, the 2024 FS 450 Supermoto bike is an impressive update to an already excellent motorcycle. With its improved handling, updated suspension, and sleek new look, the bike is sure to attract attention from riders looking for a high-performance supermoto bike. The bike is expected to be available at Husqvarna dealerships in the coming months, with a starting price of around $11,000.
