Our most aggressive testers also loved
the Magura clutch for its strong, consis-
tent action and an easy pull at the lever.
The powerful and progressive Brembo
brakes were also praised by riders. The
hydraulic controls are primo, as are just
about all aspects of the Husqvarna. As
the priciest bike of the bunch, we'd ex-
pect nothing less. The FC 250 checks in
at $9199, a stark contrast to the Kawasa-
ki's $7799 price tag. But let's break down
everything you're getting here: electric
start, handlebar map switch and traction
control options, hydraulic clutch, ProTa-
per handlebar, ODI grips, two airbox cov-
er options, Brembo brakes, the list goes
on. There's lots to love, and lots to shell
out for. But if you want a ready-made race
bike and you find favor with the WP Xact
air fork, then here's your huckleberry.
