2009 Husaberg FE 450 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2009 Husaberg FE 450 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Husaberg features a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 64.1 HP (46.8 kW) at 6,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 48 Nm (35.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 142.8 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the FE 450 measures 114 kg (251 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.56 HP/kg (1.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 985 mm (38.8 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 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
