Description
ENGINE
Weighing just 29.7 kg, the 450 cc engine is not only light and compact, but also offers the most advanced technology available for performance, handling and reliability unmatched in its class. In addition, the engine is specifically tailored for enduro riding with standard electric start, 6-speed open-ratio gearbox and a wide range of electronic assistance systems.
CYLINDER AND PISTON
The lightweight aluminum cylinder has a diameter of 95mm and a lightweight bridge-box type König piston. This combination allows minimum oscillating masses that result in a drastic reduction in vibrations and an improvement in comfort for the pilot.
BUTT
The compact SOHC cylinder head offers maximum performance and minimum weight. The new camshaft drives four light valves (titanium Ø = 40 mm and 32.6 g inlet and steel Ø = 33 mm and 42.6 g exhaust) through a robust rocker arm system .
CRANKSHAFT
A flat connecting rod bearing and two pressure-mounted bushings guarantee maximum reliability and durability, and long maintenance intervals of up to 135 hours.
MOLYBDENO CHROME STEEL CHASSIS
The hydroformed, laser-cut and robot-welded chassis is expertly manufactured by WP Performance Systems. The chassis flex characteristics have been specifically designed to enhance suspension functionality, handling and comfort. Chassis and engine fenders installed as standard and directly anchored to the frame guarantee excellent protection and durability.
CARBON FIBER AND COMPOSITE MATERIAL SUBCHASSIS
The composite subframe is a unique Husqvarna design that showcases pioneering technologies and innovation. This 3-piece component is made of 30% carbon fiber, making it extremely light (1.4 kg) and strong. Special care has been taken to achieve the ideal stiffness in order to achieve better behavior and optimum ergonomics.
WP XPLOR 48
The WP Xplor 48 front fork has been developed by WP Performance Systems specifically for enduro riding. This fork features an open cartridge design with a spring on each bar and with separate damping functions.
REAR SHOCK ABSORBER WP
The WP DCC rear shock is designed to provide advanced damping characteristics while retaining a lightweight and compact design. With a balanced pressure inside the shock absorber, the stroke is more fluid, which translates into greater comfort and manageability, while the corrugated outer surface of the tank improves cooling.
PRO TAPER HANDLEBAR
As for practicality and style, the new Pro Taper handlebar is unrivaled. Manufactured to rigorous standards, the Pro Taper handlebar achieves class-leading fatigue resistance with minimal weight. Pro Taper logos have been applied through a chemical process, so they cannot come off and are scratch resistant.
MAGURA BRAKING SYSTEM
The high-quality Magura brake system has been designed to offer optimum sensitivity and progressive feel, in addition to the highest level of performance. 260mm front and 220mm rear disc.
MAGURA HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
This high-quality German clutch system is virtually maintenance-free and ensures even wear and perfect modulation in any condition. This means that the play is constantly compensated so that the touch and operation of the clutch are not affected by temperature or the passage of time.
SELF-CLEANABLE FOOTREST ANCHORS
Husqvarna’s chassis incorporates an ingenious, self-cleaning footrest anchoring system that prevents mud build-up in this area. As a result, the footrest will always return to its original position, ensuring perfect control of the bike. The wide aluminum footrests are enduro-specific toothed and are also mounted 6mm higher than on motocross models to further increase ground clearance in deep stone and rut areas.
ACCESS TO THE AIR FILTER WITHOUT TOOLS
The new air filter box has carefully studied ducts to prevent air deformation and ensure maximum flow and filter protection. The air filter is very easy to access and no tools are needed: just remove the left side cover. Easy maintenance is guaranteed thanks to the design of the Twin Air filter and its support, which incorporates a simple fail-safe system for a precise and safe installation of the filter element.
ENGINE POWER CURVE SELECTOR AND TRACTION CONTROL
Optimized for easier operation, the map change switch also includes a new traction control function. The traction control can be connected or disconnected by means of said switch, and its operation is based on the analysis of the signal received by the pilot from the gas grip and the rate at which the RPM increases in the engine. If the RPM increases too rapidly, the control unit will record a loss of grip and reduce the amount of power delivered to the rear wheel to ensure maximum traction.
FUNCTIONAL BODYWORK
A distinctive and futuristic bodywork further enhances the enduro range, while graphics in dramatic pearl blue and electric yellow colors decorate the sleek Swedish-inspired design. Advanced ergonomics provide maximum comfort and control, allowing the rider to perform at their best for longer.
ELECTRICAL START
The standard electric start ensures easy engine start-up in all situations. The system is powered by a lightweight and powerful lithium ion battery that weighs 1 kg less than a conventional lead acid battery.
