Engineered by Husqvarna for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2016 Husqvarna FS 450 pairs a 449.3 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 63 HP (46 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-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 FS 450 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 HP/kg (1.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 927 mm (36.5 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
