2014年前の今日! 450 ハスクバーナ FCXNUMX XNUMX ストローク
Looking all the world like a white knight, the 2014 Husqvarna FC450 was very atttractive in its first model year in the USA. MXA tested this bike in the March 2014 issue.
Q: IS THE 2014 HUSQVARNA FC450 BETTER THAN THE 2013 FC450?
A: The kindest way to say this is that KTM’s engineering department was not enamored with the Italian designs. Plus, KTM’s management didn’t like the idea of dealing with Italian unions, nor did CEO Stefan Peirer buy Husqvarna in order to sell the same old thing. So, to produce bikes in time for the 2014 selling season—although just barely, KTM elected to engage in the time honored tradition of platform sharing.
In Husqvarna’s case, platform sharing allowed them to have products available in 2014 that consumers could buy, dealers could stock and KTM could support. Without platform sharing there would probably not have been any new Husqvarnas until the 2016 model year—at the soonest.

(5)後車軸。 The 2014 Husqvarna FC450 has a 20mm axle, where the KTM uses a 25mm axle. This means that the swingarm and axle blocks are also configured to accept the smaller rear axle.
(6)マフラー。 2014ハスクバーナFC450には、ユーロ仕様のマフラーが装備されています。 わずかに長く、内部にXNUMXつのパフォーマンスコアバッフルがあり、ノイズレベルを低く抑えています。

(8)ハンドガード。 2014年のハスキーごとにハンドガードが付属しています。
(9)シートボルト。 2014 Husky FC450は、KTMの単一のボルトではなく、XNUMXつのシートボルトを使用します。 XNUMXつのボルトは、シートを取り外すときに釣りをする必要があるハンドホールドの内側に隠れています。
(10)色の選択。 The Husky comes with a black 52-tooth rear sprocket instead of KTM silver. To give their version of the KTM 450SXF engine more pizzaz, Husqvarna powder-coated the valve cover yellow. The grips have “Husqvarna” embedded in them instead of “KTM.”
(11)マップスイッチ。 Husqvarna has a switch on the handlebars that allows the rider to toggle between two different ignition maps.
Q:2014 HUSQVARNA FC450の最も重要な機能は何ですか?
A: At 56.95 horsepower the Husky FC450 has nothing to be ashamed of. That is more power than the Honda, Suzuki or Kawasaki, but less than the 2014 Yamaha YZ450F’s phenomenal 58.22 horsepower.
How low can you go? With the Husqvarna FC450 the only limit is you bravery.
