2016 Husqvarna FC 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 Husqvarna FC 250 cross - motocross motorcycle, Husqvarna relies on a 249.9 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46 HP (33.6 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 184.1 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the FC 250 measures 101.1 kg (223 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.45 HP/kg (2.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,482 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
