Husqvarna FE 250 2015

During the test, we rode the FE250 in standard condition and then also with the Rekluse automatic clutch. The automatic clutch really suits the FE250, which is easy to ride and easy on the eyes. The accessory is probably also perfectly suited to the bike's target group. All in all, the FE250 is a motorbike that can do much more than one would expect at first glance. In very hard sections, however, it is the less talented riders who would like to have a little more torque.
