2019 Husqvarna® FC 450

2019 Husqvarna® FC 450 Rockstar Edition

The FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION is a motorcycle built to perform at the highest level. Embracing the highly successful collaboration between Rockstar Energy and Husqvarna Motorcycles, this exciting model will form the basis Jason Andersons official Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing machine competing in the 2019 AMA Supercross Championship.

• CYLINDER HEAD

The SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact and light with the camshaft located as close to the center of gravity as possible, significantly improving handling while its shorter valve timing improves bottom end performance and responsiveness. A new optimized rocker arm design features increased stiffness and reduced inertia on both intake and exhaust.

• FMF EXHAUST SYSTEM

The Factory 4.1 RCT Muffler incorporates the latest in FMF Resonance Chamber Technology™ both internally and externally and features a blue anodized titanium muffler body with a carbon end cap. In addition, it offers a shorter overall length that is less susceptible to damage and moves the muffler closer to the engine to centralize mass. The Factory 4.1 RCT is constructed from only aerospace grade materials that meet exacting specifications and is manufactured 100% at FMF's Southern California factory.

• PISTON AND CONROD

Replicating the advanced technology used by the Husqvarna motorsport department, a new CP forged box in box piston features a hard anodized compression ring groove with an optimized cam and barrel profile while the new Pankl conrod features a bushing on the piston end reducing friction on the connecting pin resulting in the highest level of performance and reliability.

• CARBON FIBER SUBFRAME

The composite subframe is a design unique to Husqvarna showcasing pioneering technologies and innovation. Using 70% polyamide and 30% carbon fiber, the 2 piece subframe weighs in at just over 2.2 lb. Apart from being remarkably robust, specific care is taken to deliver the perfect rigidity for optimal handling and rider comfort.

• BREMBO BRAKES

The highest level of braking performance is delivered with class-leading Brembo callipers and controls. The 260 mm floating front and 220 mm solid rear discs offer superior stopping power instilling confidence in any condition. A standard front disc protector is fitted protecting the brake disc from possible damage.

• CNC MACHINED TRIPLE CLAMPS

Made from high-grade aluminum, the Factory CNC machined triple clamps feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the fork tubes and precise geometry of the fork clamping with no ovalization of the outer fork tube, ensuring highly responsive and smooth fork action. Maximum gains in handling are provided by simple offset adjustment of 20 or 22 mm.

• MAGURA HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

The high quality German-made Magura clutch system guarantees even wear, almost maintenance-free operation and perfect modulation in every condition. This means that play is constantly compensated so that the pressure point and function of the clutch remain identical in cold or hot conditions, as well as over time.

• LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME

The hydro-formed, laser-cut and robot-welded frame is expertly constructed to harness specifically calculated parameters of longitudinal and torsional flex and features an increase in rigidity resulting in improved rider feedback, energy absorption and stability. The frame is finished off in a premium black powder coating with a carbon fiber reinforced engine protector and standard frame protectors guaranteeing superior protection and durability.
