2019 Husqvarna® FC 350

BALANCED PERFORMANCE

With the agility of a 250 and a 450-rivalling power-to-weight ratio, the FC 350 strikes a competitive balance between power and handling. This appeals to both professional and amateur riders alike, making for a more user-friendly riding experience in all conditions. It is this versatility, paired with intelligent traction and launch control, which makes the FC 350 one of the most multitalented motocrossers on the market.

Features may include:

ENGINE

The 350 cc DOHC engine weighs in at only 60 pounds with a maximum power output that rivals 450 cc machines. The engine is specifically designed with performance, weight and mass centralisation as key areas. As a result, all shaft arrangements have been positioned to allow oscillating masses to occupy the ideal center of gravity while all parts are engineered to offer the best performance while adding the least possible weight.

CYLINDER HEAD

The FC 350 features an updated cylinder head casting process, which accounts for a weight saving of 200 g. The internals feature polished camshafts and DLC coated finger followers, resulting in minimal friction and unsurpassed overall performance, allowing the engine to rev freely to 13,400 rpm.

CYLINDER & PISTON

An 88 mm bore and 57.5 mm stroke cylinder features a compression ratio of 14:1 and a large diameter yet lightweight forged bridged-box-type piston. As a result, the low oscillating mass delivers exceptional power, high revs and a very wide power band.

CRANKSHAFT

At the heart of the high-output, high-revving FC 350 engine is a crankshaft featuring a plain big end bearing featuring two force-fitted bearing shells, ensuring maximum reliability and durability, guaranteeing long service intervals of 100 hours.

FUNCTIONAL BODYWORK

The 2019 FC 350 features fresh, new bodywork showcasing the Swedish inspired colourway, refined ergonomics and a slimmed down design. A new seat profile reduces the total seat height by 10 mm is combined with a high-grip seat cover to deliver superior comfort and control in all conditions.

LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME

Engineered with carefully calculated parameters of longitudinal and torsional flex, the frame features improved rider feedback, energy absorption and straight-line stability. The frame is finished off in a premium blue powder coating and standard frame protectors guaranteeing superior protection and durability.

CARBON FIBRE SUBFRAME

The use of carbon fiber strips away weight, improving weight distribution and bringing weight closer to the center of gravity for precise handling. The composition of the material is 30% carbon fiber and the overall 3-piece construction is remarkably light but also very strong for an overall weight of 3.1 pounds. Additionally, a specific rigidity has been calculated in the component for optimal handling and rider ergonomics.

SWINGARM

The hollow, cast-aluminium swingarm is designed to offer optimal stiffness and reliability at the lowest possible weight. For 2019, the chain adjustment slot has increased by 5 mm to aid in extending the total wheelbase length for improved straight-line stability on faster tracks and whoops.

MAP SWITCH

Optimized for easy operation, the map switch selects between two engine maps, operates launch control and activates a traction control feature. Traction control works by analyzing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which the RPM increases. If the RPM increases too quickly, the EMS will register a loss of grip and reduce the amount of power to the rear wheel ensuring maximum traction.
