2024 Husqvarna FX 450 for Sale #HU24335123

2024 Husqvarna® FX 450 Benefitting from new WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring front forks for 2024, the FX 450 retains its class-leading power and continues to headline the Husqvarna Motorcycles offroad line-up. With an engine that not only produces a broad spread of usable power, but also positions the engine shaft arrangements at the ideal centre of gravity to centralise mass, the FX 450 offers a lightweight feel for all riders. Aiding this is the chassis which has been developed and made using advanced engineering techniques to offer improved anti-squat behaviour for impeccable handling and manoeuvrability. Retaining its advanced electronics and high-quality components throughout, the FX 450 is complete with a flat profile seat, ergonomic bodywork, and finished with yellow and grey graphics inspired by the Swedish heritage of the brand.Features may include:Engine The FX 450 engine benefits from advanced engineering techniques to deliver maximum power. Low in weight and weighing just 59 lbs (26.8 kg), the engine is designed to centralise mass for enhanced handling and a lot improved anti-squat behaviour from the chassis. Servicing of the engine is made easier compared to previous models thanks to the addition of service markers on the engine cases.Cylinder head The redesigned SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact with the camshaft positioned as close to the centre of gravity as possible for a lot improved handling and agility. A new, more durable fine punched cam chain runs on low-friction chain guides for optimal efficiency and improved trust with a single oil spray jet guaranteeing effective cooling. The lightweight valves are actuated via a rocker arm and feature timing specifically designed to deliver precise levels of torque and throttle response.Cylinder and piston The lightweight aluminium cylinder is undoubtedly an engineering masterpiece and features a 95 mm bore with a 63.4 mm stroke. Inside, the CP bridged-box-type piston features anodised annular grooves, adding strength and longer service intervals at a weight of just 327 g. For improved power, the compression ratio has been increased to 13.1:1 to create an incredible peak power while maintaining its crisp responsiveness.Crankshaft The crankshaft is specifically positioned to harness the rotating mass in the ideal centre of gravity resulting in a lightweight and agile handling feel. As such, the inertia produced by the crankshaft is carefully calculated to deliver optimal traction and rideability from the powerful 450cc plant. A plain big end bearing comprising of two force-fitted bearing shells ensure maximum trust and strength, guaranteeing long service intervals of 90 hours.Crankcases Designed for optimised mass centralisation, the FX 450 crankcases arrange the shafts and engine internals in the perfect position to achieve the best possible handling. Made using a high-pressure die-cast production process, the result is a thin, exceptionally strong wall thickness at the lowest possible weight.
