Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna FE 450 2024

Husqvarna FE 450 2024

The FE 450 is a great sporteduro. But with fierce competition from the other displacement variants, there is little room for the classic 450. In truth, the 350 is the better choice for most riders. And those who like to ride longer stages should go straight for the even more confident 501. The 450 does nothing wrong and is really good - but the other displacement classes offer more distinctive character traits and can thus meet the customer's taste even better.

Overpowered? Yes, of course! But in the saddle, this also has its advantages. In many situations, you can save yourself over difficult obstacles even with the wrong gear. The 501 can cope with the lowest revs and chugs ponderously along the track when tired. Sporty pilots will probably avoid the FE 501. They will achieve better lap times with the 350 or the 2-strokes. However, the 501 is a good choice for experienced pilots who also like to ride long passages without racing stress.
