There are minor updates for the three motorcycles in the 2020 Husqvarna four-stroke motocross lineup. You still have a choice between FC 250, FC 350, and FC 450. As before, the FC 450 uses a SOHC motor, while the engines in the FC 350 and FC 250 had a DOHC design. Also, the FC 450 gets a 120mm wide Dunlop Geomax MX33 in the rear, while the smaller displacement FCs have a rear tire that’s 110mm wide. Time to dig in!
- The WP Xact shock on each of the three motocrossers has a new low-friction seal for smoother action.
- All three motorcycles get a new Brembo hydraulic clutch system. A Husqvarna spokesman claims that the new system is “thoroughly race-tested to guarantee even wear, near maintenance-free operation, and perfect action in all conditions.”
- The FC 350 and FC 250 motors get a new friction bearing for the counterbalancer shaft to increase reliability.
- The graphics and paint are new this year, focusing on white and dark blue, with just a touch of yellow. We have the latest prices at the bottom of the spec sheet.
We have tested the Husqvarna FC 450, FC 350, and FC 250.
