2018 Husqvarna FC 250

Lightweight frame

With years of experience designing the most advanced off-road steel frames, R&D engineers have crafted a chrome-molybdenum steel frame that redefines every structural aspect that benefits handling, ergonomics and packaging. With carefully calculated torsional and longitudinal flex, the frame works in harmony with the suspension to deliver precise handling and superior comfort. These features, combined with a lightweight and compact motor design, provide exceptional steering precision while increasing shock absorption and feel.

CNC machined triple clamps

The black anodized CNC machined triple clamps feature a rubber dampening system that reduces vibration and increases comfort. The triple clamps have been meticulously designed to evenly distribute clamping force across the fork leg, maximizing contact area for optimum sensitivity and minimum friction.

WP AER 48 suspension

The WP AER 48 is a new step in the development of Husqvarna motocross models. It's simple, light and easy to adjust with a single air valve and supplied fork pump for preload and click adjusters for compression and rebound. The system is made up of a split-system fork assembly consisting of an air suspension unit and a hydraulic damping unit. With the fully adjustable WP DCC rear shock, Husqvarna delivers superior suspension performance, feel and comfort.

Carbon fiber subframe

The use of carbon fiber eliminates weight, improves weight distribution and brings the weight closer to the center of gravity for precise handling. The material composition is 30% carbon fiber and the overall 3-piece construction is remarkably light but also very strong at a total weight of 1.4 kg. In addition, a specific stiffness has been calculated into the component for optimum handling and rider ergonomics.

Motor

All major components and shaft arrangements have been carefully designed and placed in specific positions that best suit the performance and handling characteristics of the FC 250. The 250cc engine is not only light at 26.1kg but also remarkably powerful with an overall output of 46 horsepower. One of the ways to achieve this was to design key components to produce as little friction as possible, thereby reducing drag.

DOHC cylinder head

The DOHC cylinder head features finger followers with a DLC (diamond like carbon) coating resulting in minimal friction and optimum performance. These activate
