Husaberg FE 450 Enduro

The new Husaberg generation for 2009 means the launch of a new era for the enduro world. Revolutionary technology and a totally new look are going to turn the offroad scene upside-down and put this traditional brand back on the path to success.

With its uncompromising design, the first prototype caused an uproar back in 1988. Radical weight reduction, a totally unconventional frame construction, plus loads of inventive details and an extremely compact engine added up to a groundbreaking new four-stroke enduro feeling and extra-easy handling.
Twenty years later, Husaberg is once again making history.

Husaberg is adopting an entirely new approach to the enduro concept for its newest generation and has come up with an almost revolutionary engine design with a flat, 70° cylinder angle and electronic fuel injection.
In conjunction with an ultra-modern chassis design, it has created an enduro bike that sets a brand-new benchmark for innovative technology and offroad handling.
Ultra-modern, 70°, high-performance, OHC 4-stroke engine
State-of-the-art engine management with electronic injection
Super-stable chassis with a chrome-moly frame and plastic subframe
Super-sporty, slim bodywork
Minimal weight
Exceptionally easy handling

ENGINE
The heart of the new Husaberg generation is the new SOHC one-cylinder engine with a displacement of 448.6 or 565 cc. In addition to top performance, the developers' goal was a modern, compact design and a high degree of durability, as well as to position the crankshaft near the overall centre of gravity, thus facilitating the handling by means of the engine design.

70° CYLINDER ANGLE
A shallow cylinder angle of 70° enables the crankshaft to be repositioned more than 100 mm higher and approx. 160 mm further back, which moves the crankshaft's rotating masses closer to the motorcycle's centre of gravity.
In this position, the gyroscopic forces generated by the rotating crankshaft have the lowest possible leverage effect on the bike, which results in exceptionally easy handling for a four-stroke, single-cylinder.

The favourable side-effects of the lifted engine are a reduced overall width and notably improved ground clearance - an enormous advantage in narrow, rocky terrain.

The perfect tool for the E2 class: Swedish steel with tremendous power and unrivalled handling. The four-stroke Enduro models, as everybody knows, stand for intelligent technology and consistent innovation down to the last detail.

Husaberg FE450 Features and Benefits

The latest WP closed cartridge USD fork with 48 mm diameter signifies a new dimension in the field of enduro suspension. The fully adjustable 48 mm fork from WP Suspension ensures comfortable response and large damping reserves. In conjunction with the CNC-machined triple clamps, this guarantees more assured control of the front wheel.

Particularly light and manufactured from high quality aluminium, ensuring that the silencer complies with all statutory noise limits.

The lightweight double-cradle perimeter design guarantees the highest levels of torsional rigidity and assured directional stability. Extremely slim lower tube loops. Minimal overall width. Unbeatable ground clearance.

High-strength aluminium alloy Neken tapered handlebars guarantee the highest levels of stiffness and safety. Mountable in 4 different positions.

Crosslinked polyethylene guarantees the highest levels of strength at the same time as reduced weight. Numerous electronic components are embedded perfectly in the subframe. Now in black.

Classy triple clamps machined from a single piece are fitted as standard to all Husaberg models. This results in precise clamping of the fork tubes, which supports the flawless function of the forks.

Positioned directly behind the tank cap, it is covered by the front part of the seat. The raised airbox position guarantees cool, clean intake air and maximum wading depth. Intake port in direct downdraught from the filter to the cylinder.

The 8.5 litre capacity, slim fuel tank extends way under the seat, providing a favourable centre of gravity, and is equipped with a compact fuel pump as well as a reserve sensor. The transparent polyethylene also allows the fuel level to be determined from the outside.

The integrated stainless steel exhaust manifold offers optimum protection from damage by rocks and prevents all direct contact with the rider.

The latest Brembo front brake for optimum braking performance with a minimum of effort. Effective single-piston rear brake caliper. Ultra-light Wave discs for best possible deceleration
and efficient self-cleaning of the brakes.

Fully adjustable PDS shock absorber with optimised settings for even better traction and stability. Adjustable rebound damping and variable high- and low-speed compression damping guarantee the perfect configuration for the most diverse conditions.

sports-oriented compact engine design with revolutionary layout + reduced to the minimum + optimum handling thanks to 70° cylinder angle and crankshaft position close to bike's centre of gravity + easy starting + the hightest reliability

Starting at the push of a button, in every situation by means of precisely controlled state-of-the-art engine management, no need for a kickstarter, minimum engine weight

42 mm throttle body in direct downdraught + optimum flow from the airbox to the cylinder + 2 alternative mappings selectable (map-select switch available as a Husaberg part)

New valve spring retainers made of stronger material guarantee greater reliability under heavy loads in the highest rpm ranges.

All engine versions are equipped with a perfectly graduated 6-gear transmission, with a narrower spread in the FX.

Designed for extreme loads, hydraulic clutch actuation system from Magura, integrated torque cushion, perfect application, FLEX clutch lever, hinges forwards up to 90°, reduces risk of breakage

For greater stiffness, the engineers have significantly reinforced the area of the frame around the steering head on the 4-stroke models, reduced frame flex at the decisive points, substantially improved stability of the bike at high speeds, absolutely precise control of the front wheel

Super-light cast aluminium swingarm, holds the directly attached PDS shock, greatest degree of directional stability, plenty of traction and comfort
