QUICKSPIN I 2025 Husqvarna FC 350 Heritage Edition
P102
Since the bike offers a
quick-revving feel, we usually
preferred the more aggres-
sive "green light" map instead
of the standard "white light"
map. The aggressive mode
provides the bike with in-
creased grunt from down low
while maintaining the revs
through the midrange, deliver-
ing better pull and more bark. For
most situations, our test riders
opted to leave traction control and
the quickshifter options turned
off. Overall, our test riders left the
track impressed by the versatility
of the Husky 350's engine.
The Husqvarna's brakes and
clutch are exceptional. The
Brembo brakes are arguably
the best in the class, offering
excellent feel and strong stop
-
ping power. The hydraulic clutch
also provides clear engage-
ment points. While it isn't as
finely tuned as a traditional cable
clutch, it offers a better feel than
other hydraulic units in its class.
Additionally, the Brembo levers
feature a standard dial adjuster,
which is a nice touch.
We noticed the new
chassis on the track, which
makes the bike feel more
comfortable and perform
even better on hardpack.
The Husqvarna, compared to
its close GasGas and KTM
cousins, sits slightly lower to
the ground, enabling you to
change lines on the track a
bit more easily. I'm consistently
impressed with how well the
Husqvarna handles on dry, flat
turns—just weight that outside
footpeg, look where you want,
and bam, you're there.
The WP Xact air fork com
-
pares favorably to any spring
fork out there, easily deceiving
most riders in a "blindfold" test
ride. The only real drawback in
The main difference between
last year's model and the
2025 model is the frame.
The Heritage Edition pays
homage to Husqvarna's
Swedish roots.
