Built around Husaberg's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2003 Husaberg FC 550 - 4 pairs a 555 cc (33.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 70.7 mm (3.9 x 2.8 inches).
On the scales, the FC 550 - 4 measures 103.9 kg (229 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 930 mm (36.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
