2019 Husqvarna FC 250

Features and Benefits

• LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME: The frames on the 2019 Husqvarna motocross range feature increased stiffness, for improved rider feedback, better energy absorption and exceptional straight-line stability. The frame is finished off in a premium blue powder coating with standard frame protectors for superior protection and durability.
• GEARBOX: Produced by PANKL RACING SYSTEMS, the new 5-speed gearbox is designed to be extremely light and durable while featuring specific and proven motocross-specific gear ratios.
• CNC MACHINED TRIPLE CLAMPS: New CNC-machined triple clamps feature a 22 mm offset and an integrated rubber damping system, which reduces vibration and increases rider comfort. Additionally, the front number board integrates a triple clamp roost protector.
• CARBON FIBER SUBRAME: Carbon fibre is renowned for its light weight and high strength. For those reasons, the Husqvarna MX range features a unique composite subframe made from 30% carbon fibre. Specific rigidity has been engineered into the subframe to deliver optimal handling and rider ergonomics.
• ENGINE: Engineered to ensure class-leading performance and handling characteristics, all major engine components and shaft arrangements are carefully positioned closer to the centre of gravity to reduce the effects of rotational inertia. The 250cc 4-stroke engine is also light, tipping the scales at only 26.1 kg, but is also remarkably powerful with an overall power output of 46 hp.
• WP AER 48 SUSPENSION: The WP AER 48 fork is lightweight and easy to adjust through a single air valve for pre-load, using the supplied fork pump. Compression and rebound fine-tuning is handled by tool-free click adjusters. Together with the fully adjustable WP DCC rear shock, Husqvarna offers superior suspension performance, feeling and comfort.
• CRANKCASE: All 2019 Husqvarna motocross motors are designed with mass centralisation and weight reduction as a priority. Crank-cases are designed to position engine components in the ideal position to achieve the perfect centre of gravity, with the least possible weight. The casings are manufactured using a high-pressure die cast production process, resulting in thinner wall thickness while retaining exceptional strength. The iconic Husqvarna Motorcycles emblem adorns the bronze-finished crankcase covers.
• DOHC CYLINDER HEAD: Featuring finger followers treated in a Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating, the DOHC cylinder head is engineered for high-level performance. Large titanium valves - 32.5 mm intake and 26.5 mm exhaust - aid the motor to rev freely towards its 14,000 rpm limit, while maintaining smooth, efficient power throughout the rev-range.
• EXHAUST SYSTEM: Designed from lightweight aluminium, the exhaust system on the FC 250 features a new flow-designed resonance chamber that is integrated into the header pipe. The new silencer is also shorter and more compact, still delivering impressive power output while keeping decibels as low as possible.
• MAP SWITCH: A standard mapping switch activates launch control and allows riders to toggle between 2 engine maps. It also activates the traction control feature. Both traction control and launch control feature an updated setting, offering improved traction for better race starts and more control on slippery tracks.
• ELECTRIC START: The convenience of a lightweight starter motor and compact battery setup means starting the motor, or recovering from a stall effortlessly, is as simple as a push of a button.
• PRO TAPER HANDLEBAR: 2019 sees the introduction of new PRO TAPER handlebars, featuring an updated bend to further increase comfort by improving the pressure point on the rider's hand, while standard flexible handguards offer maximum roost protection.
• MAGURA HYDRAULIC CLUTCH: Feather-light clutch action and near maintenance-free operation are a few of the benefits of the MAGURA hydraulic clutch setup. Play is also constantly compensated so that the pressure point and function of the clutch remain identical in hot or cold conditions, as well as over time.
• ODI GRIPS: ODI lock-on grips feature an innovative integrated throttle mechanism and a non-glue application. The throttle assembly also features easy free-play adjustment and throttle-cam adjustment.
• DS CLUTCH: For 2019, the FC 250 features a new Diaphragm Steel clutch, which accounts for a further weight saving of 190 g. The clutch basket is also engineered from a single-piece of CNC-machined steel that allows the use of thin steel liners and contributes to the compact design of the engine.
• BRAKES: The highest level of quality is guaranteed with class-leading Brembo callipers and controls. The 260 mm front and 220 mm solid rear discs deliver superior stopping power instilling confidence in any condition.
