Other non-performance updates
include a new-generation Li-ion 2.0
Ah battery, external fuel line that has
been moved inward for added pro-
tection, a billet Rekluse clutch cover
and updated bodywork with Jason
Anderson Rockstar Team-replica
graphics.
Other things that we liked that are
carried over from the standard are
the RE's traction control system (it's
not just a gimmick), electric starting,
hydraulic clutch, strong brakes and
Odi grips.
So far, we are very impressed with
the new Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar
Edition. We can't get over how light
and agile this bike feels while still
having all of the bells and whistles,
like electric starting and a skid plate.
Had this bike come out a few months
earlier, we just might've had a differ-
ent 450 shootout winner. CN
The Rockstar Edition will be
available in February.
