sideways. This gave our riders some added
courage when leaning the bike over in the off-
camber and uphill corners.
A two-mode engine map comes on the same
switch as the traction control. This handlebar-
mounted system lights up with a number one
or a number two and can literally be changed
in the air if a rider were to choose to do so.
Even though it's limited to only two modes, this
push-button system is the easiest to use in the
class.
The WP AER 48 air forks are another key
aspect to the Husqvarna's overall character.
When combined with the WP DCC rear shock,
you've got a lightweight setup that's ready
to handle small chop, but still stiff enough to
tackle flat landings. An added bonus? The
WP's are adjustable via hand clickers, meaning
you don't even need tools to make changes.
Finding faults in the 2019 Husqvarna FC 250
is a difficult thing to do. Seriously, it's damn
near identical to the bike that takes victory, but
subtle differences like the Magura clutch feel,
wide rear subframe, and overly textured/rough
seat hinder its potential. Maybe next year,
Husqvarna.
