On December 6, 2022, Husqvarna rolled out the 2023 FC 450 Rockstar Edition. True to form, the newest iteration of this model brings some new racing components and revisions on board, from a grippier GUTS seat cover to the same FMF Racing Factory 4.1 silencer found on Husqvarna’s factory AMA supercross racing machines. Let’s take a look.
The 2023 FC 450 Rockstar Edition is powered by Husky’s 449.9cc four-stroke, single overhead cam, single cylinder engine, which is mated to a five-speed Pankl gearbox with quickshifter. Frame revisions offer improved anti-squat behavior, per the OEM—and as ever, more mass centralization refinements have been made.
