2027 Husqvarna FX 350

2027 Husqvarna® FX 350

As cross-country motorcycles go, the FX 350 is the ultimate. It pairs a chassis with the agility of a 250 and an engine making power comparable to a 450, creating a perfect mix of performance and rideability. Built by Pankl Racing Systems, the close-ratio 6-speed gearbox calls up a dedicated engine map for every gear, ensuring power arrives smoothly at all speeds. The WP suspension, with settings developed for offroad riding, provides assured comfort, and the smooth, ergonomic bodywork allows unrestricted movement for total control. The FX 350 wears a distinctive color scheme that takes inspiration from the brand's Swedish heritage, with graphics applied under the surface to give a long-lasting finish.

Features may include:

• Engine

Built for maximum performance, the FX 350 engine has all of its major components and shaft arrangements placed to enhance overall handling. At just 59.9 lb (27.2 kg), the 350 cc 4-stroke engine centralizes mass and supports the anti-squat behavior of the entire chassis.

• Cylinder head

Durability and serviceability are improved in the DOHC cylinder head, which uses diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated finger followers that guarantee optimal performance and minimal friction. The followers operate large titanium valves measuring 36.3 mm on the intake side and 29.1 mm on the exhaust side, and these valves optimize gas flow to produce strong, usable power throughout the rev-range, right up to the 13,400 rpm limit. Valve timings operate in perfect harmony alongside the camshaft, whose bearing bridge design provides stiffness and easy serviceability.

• Cylinder and piston

Professionally engineered from high-strength aluminum for maximum reliability, the cylinder has an 88 mm bore and 57.5 mm stroke and holds CP's high performance forged bridged-box-type piston. Compression is set at 14.6:1 to provide exceptional torque and peak power.

• Crankshaft

The crankshaft sits at the core of the high-output, high-revving FX 350 engine. It uses a plain big end bearing that turns on two force-fitted bearing shells for maximum reliability, and it guarantees long intervals of 90 hours between services.
