2024 Husqvarna® FC 450 Rockstar Edition

2024 Husqvarna® FC 450 Rockstar Edition

Enhanced with multiple chassis refinements to take on-track performance to an even higher level, the 2024 FC 450 Rockstar Edition sets a new standard for competition-focused motocross machinery. New engine mounts, together with a revised, lighter frame and updated suspension settings improve agility and stability to create a confidence inspiring riding experience. Ergonomics are further improved with the addition of new tank shrouds while advanced rider aids, specifically chosen Technical Accessories, and the latest race team graphics complete the build of this premium machine.

Features may include:

• FMF titanium exhaust

As used by Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross competition, the FMF Factory 4.1 RCT silencer is a championship-winning component. Beautifully crafted with a blue anodized titanium body and finished with a carbon fiber end cap, the silencer is considerably lighter than standard, slightly shorter to centralize mass, and delivers a notable boost to overall performance.

• Bodywork

Subtly revised tank shrouds enhance the ergonomics while creating a progressive new look. The contact points of the slim bodywork offer unrestricted movement, which allows riders to perform at their very best for extended periods of time. The high-grip GUTS Racing seat cover is now fitted over a 5 mm higher and slighter wider seat foam to keep riders firmly in place under hard acceleration. Rounding out the bodywork updates are the latest Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing graphics, which are applied using in-mold technology for a quality and durable finish.

• Unparalleled performance

The SOHC, 450 cc engine is the result of advanced engineering techniques and tips the scales at just 59 lb (26.8 kg). Mass-centralization of the key components was key during the design process, as was repositioning the engine closer to the center of gravity for improved handling and agility. This was achieved by tilting the engine 2 degrees backwards, which resulted in the countershaft sprocket being positioned 3 mm lower. The end result is significantly improved anti-squat behavior from the chassis for smoother acceleration on rough terrain.

• Map select switch

The intuitive handlebar-mounted Map Select Switch allows riders to engage both launch and traction control, enable the Quickshifter, and activate one of two engine maps. The easy-to-operate Map Select Switch allows racers to quickly alter the engine characteristics on a race-by-race basis depending on track conditions and rider preference.

• Ride husqvarna

Create and adjust the set-up of your FC 450 Rockstar Edition by pairing the new Connectivity Unit Offroad with the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app on your smartphone. Once downloaded, the easy-to-use app offers full control of all engine settings including power delivery, engine braking, and the sensitivity of the Quickshifter. In addition to being able to customize the characteristics of the engine, recommended suspension settings that are based on a variety of racing surfaces, are pre-installed on the app. The Rider section on the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app provides vital feedback to the rider post-race by offering full analytics of how the machine is being ridden, as well as recording lap times, which are added to a virtual leaderboard.
