Overview

Introducing the 2016 Husqvarna FC 250, a motorcycle that stands at the forefront of the cross-motocross category. Designed for enthusiasts who crave performance and precision, this machine embodies the spirit of competition. With its sleek Nordic-inspired design, the FC 250 not only looks the part but is engineered to dominate the track and trails. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a weekend warrior, this bike offers a thrilling blend of lightweight agility and robust power, making it a standout choice in the competitive motocross market. At the heart of the FC 250 is a potent single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that displaces 249.91 ccm. Producing an impressive 46 HP (33.6 kW), the engine delivers exhilarating power that propels the bike forward with authority. The combination of a 5-speed gearbox and a wet, multi-disc clutch with Magura hydraulics ensures seamless gear changes and optimal control, allowing you to tackle various terrains with confidence. The liquid cooling system maintains peak performance, ensuring that you can push the limits without overheating. Whether you're launching off jumps or navigating tight corners, the FC 250's finely tuned suspension—featuring WP USD forks and a Monoshock rear—offers 300 mm of travel at both ends, providing exceptional handling and stability throughout your ride. In addition to its impressive performance, the 2016 FC 250 comes loaded with advanced technology and features that enhance the riding experience. The steel central-tube frame provides outstanding strength without sacrificing weight, tipping the scales at just 101.1 kg (222.9 pounds). This lightweight construction, combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4550 HP/kg, gives riders an exhilarating edge on the track. The electric starter ensures that you’re always ready to roll, and the bold blue, yellow, and white color scheme adds a visually striking flair to its already aggressive stance. With a comfortable seat height of 960 mm and a generous ground clearance of 370 mm, the bike is designed for a wide range of rider physiques, ensuring optimal comfort during long rides or intense races. **
