Bodywork
The FS 450 features bodywork that clearly showcases Husqvarna Motorcycles progressive approach to offroad motorcycles while striking grey and yellow graphics stylishly adorn the Swedish-inspired design.

The slim contact surfaces on the bodywork allow the rider to move the FS 450 around more easily on track and improve the overall handling and agility of the motorcycle.
The flat seat profile, combined with a new high grip seat cover, deliver superior comfort and control in all conditions. A recessed pocket under the seat, just above the airbox, allows gripping and lifting of the bike.
