Husaberg FE450 review






Twenty years later, Husaberg is once again making history. Husaberg is adopting an entirely new approach to the enduro concept for its newest generation and has come up with an almost revolutionary engine design with a flat, 70° cylinder angle and electronic fuel injections. In conjunction with an ultra-modern chassis design, it has created an enduro bike that sets a brand-new benchmark for innovative technology and off road handling.

The suspension is much improved and might even be better than the KTMs with which the Husaberg FE450 shares design and componentry. The front is fairly plush and still has a good stroke. Out back, the shock seems a bit more progressive than a KTM, so you can get away with a softer initial or low speed compression without having a bottoming problem. The brakes are strong and touchy, as with a KTM. But you get used to them, and then you begin to think Japanese bikes have mushy brakes. Its gripper seat is great, especially in muddy condition. Overall, the FE450 isn`t too thin; and the 2.38-gallon gas tank is good for 55 to 65 trail miles or more than an hour and a half or 40 miles at a race pace.
