The optimized rising rate offers a less progressive curve for better overall control and a more positive feel throughout the entire stroke of the shock. Advancements in production techniques of the triangle and pull rod result in improved quality and an overall weight savings of 40 grams.

13. Subframe: Exclusive to the North American market, the 2015 Husqvarna FC 250 and FC 450 feature a carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide subframe. Constructed through an advanced injection-molding technique, which integrates carbon fiber into the polyamide composite for an exceptionally durable and lightweight compound.

14. Subframe reinforcement: Lightweight subframe is reinforced with an additional screw on the left side that improves fitment and airbox seal.
