"Sharing the same principles for continuous innova- tion and development, we are confident Husqvarna riders will be able to take advantage of the best and most technologically advanced aftermarket exhaust applications available in the market. Establishing a very close collaboration with our R&D de- partment, FMF Racing engineers are able to develop products that specifically meet our demands for quality and performance. "For us, it is important that our collaboration with FMF engineers starts at the very beginning of the development of our machines. As a result, the products will be much more than simple add-ons, but exhausts developed from scratch to meet the exact needs we set for our customers. "Featuring a wide range of ap- plications for our two-stroke and four-stroke machines, the new range of FMF Racing aftermarket exhaust systems will be available in our updated for 2019 Husqvar- na Motorcycles Accessories."

"The Flying Machine Factory (FMF) has been continu- ously pushing the boundaries of development and competition ever since our establishment in 1973. Forty-five years later, we are confident this partnership with Husqvarna Motorcycles will further strengthen our brand worldwide. Looking forward to continuing our close collabora- tion with Husqvarna Motorcycles' engineers, our common goal re- mains to offer riders and custom- ers championship winning power and performance through each one of our applications."
