Pros and Cons in comparison
Husqvarna FE 450 2015
Still the golden mean. Much easier to ride than a 350. Not quite as nervous, but just a tad more ponderous. It has no end of power and torque. The 501 is frankly superfluous. This bike is not too weak for anyone. Probably not the coolest choice, 450 was "mainstream" for years, but in the course of a hard enduro week the best partner you could wish for. The few extra kilos are quickly forgotten on the leisurely connecting stages. During the test we also rode it with a Rekluse automatic clutch. This worked great and saved power.
Husqvarna FC 350 2016
The Husqvarna FC 350 offers a successful overall package that differs from the identically constructed KTM 350 EXC-F in the details. The powerful unit impresses with clean power, even when the engine has to be kept at high revs. In terms of handling, the fork of the Husqvarna FC 350 dips too much, which makes the ride a little angular. The brakes, on the other hand, are easy to apply, even if the pressure point is very tight.
