Husqvarna Motorcycles has just written one of the most beautiful pages in its history, winning its first championship FIM 450SX World Supercross Championship with Jason Anderson and the second consecutive title in the category 250SX East Coast thanks to Zach Osborne.

A few days after this great success, the Austrian company has lifted the veil on its complete range of 2019 motocross models. This new generation consists of five very high quality motorcycles, entirely redesigned to offer both the professional and the amateur the maximum technological level available on the market today. Thanks to the indications of the new champions and the entire official team Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, and extensive internal development and testing, Husqvarna engineers have introduced a long list of improvements to the new generation FC and TC models to continue to set the benchmark in terms of ride, performance, weight and aesthetics. The new Husqvarna motocross models for 2019 have been designed by combining state-of-the-art technology and premium quality components with a long list of both technical and functional improvements, with the aim of allowing riders of all abilities to reach even higher levels. advanced in their respective cross-country careers.

The 2019 Husqvarna range will therefore be composed of five 2 and 4 stroke models, which represent the most recent evolution of the motocross line of one of the brands with the greatest history and tradition. From the very agile TC 125 to the powerful FC 450, each model in this range is the new reference in its respective class. Among the long list of improvements, the new chassis stands out, which for Model Year 19 gains greater longitudinal rigidity in favor of a better feeling for the rider. Finished with a blue powder coating, the frame pairs perfectly with the new WP suspension setting. Both the AER air fork and the monoshock have a renewed calibration that helps to further improve shock absorption and straight-line stability. At engine level, all five models receive a number of carefully thought-out improvements. Among these, the flagship FC 450 has a redesigned and more compact single-shaft cylinder head, which also reduces the overall weight of the engine by as much as half a kilo. To further improve performance - while still keeping mass to a minimum - for 2019 the exhaust system has received substantial changes on all 2-stroke and 4-stroke models. All new bikes feature high-quality ProTaper handlebars, and new DID wheel nipples; the 4-stroke FC models also have a 2,0 Ah Li-ion battery with better current delivery consistency. To underline the pioneering direction taken by Husqvarna Motorcycles in the design of off-road motorcycles, new plastics offer ergonomics designed to offer the maximum in terms of comfort and control of the vehicle.
