Introducing the 2023 Husqvarna FC 250, a true contender in the cross-motocross category that perfectly melds cutting-edge technology with a legacy of performance. Priced at a competitive MSRP of $10,999, this machine is designed for riders who crave the thrill of dirt track dominance. With its sleek profile and striking color options—white, yellow, and grey—the FC 250 not only stands out in the paddock but also delivers exceptional performance on the track. As a part of Husqvarna's renowned line-up, it caters to both seasoned racers and eager newcomers alike, ready to conquer any terrain with confidence. At the heart of the FC 250 lies a powerful 249.9cc engine, engineered with titanium valves and pumping out an impressive 46.0 horsepower. The high compression ratio of 14.5:1 and a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 48.5mm provide exhilarating acceleration and a crisp throttle response. The robust carburettor fuel system, combined with Hitachi Astemo EMS ignition and efficient liquid cooling, ensures optimal performance in all conditions. Riders will appreciate the 5-speed gearbox, which allows for seamless shifting and a smooth ride, while the Brembo hydraulics deliver precise control over the wet multi-disc clutch. The power-to-weight ratio of 0.4532 HP/kg guarantees that the FC 250 feels lively and responsive, whether navigating tight corners or blasting straightaways. The 2023 FC 250 is packed with features designed to elevate the riding experience. The central double-cradle-type frame, crafted from high-strength 25CrMo4 steel, provides exceptional rigidity and stability, while the WP XACT suspension system—featuring a 48mm fork and monoshock with linkage—offers an impressive 305mm of front travel and 293mm of rear travel. With a rake of 26.1° for enhanced handling and a generous ground clearance of 336mm, this bike is built to tackle the most rugged trails. Additionally, the electric starter and cutting-edge traction control system ensure that riders can launch with confidence every time. **
