FC 450

2016 Husqvarna FC 450 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 Husqvarna FC 450 cross - motocross motorcycle, Husqvarna features a 449.3 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 63 HP (46 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 140.2 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 450 measures 102.4 kg (226 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.62 HP/kg (1.63 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 1,485 mm (58.5 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.
