Husqvarna has presented its Factory Edition motocross models for 2025. The FC 250 and FC 450 Factory Edition machines equipped with advanced technology and race-tested components to deliver unrivalled performance. But so far only the 450 has been listed on sale in the UK, at £12,099.
Headlining the list of Technical Accessories found on both Factory Edition models are the Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) and the front-fender-mounted GPS sensor. Once the CUO is paired with the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app on a smartphone, a choice of pre-set engine maps, based on pre-defined track conditions, can be activated from the ‘Engine’ section of the app. Each map can then be personalised and saved, with riders able to refine the settings of the engine braking, Launch and Traction Control, as well as Quickshifter sensitivity to suit their speed and ability.
Every track session is recorded by the GPS sensor. Within the ‘Rider’ feature of the app, which is powered by LITPro, lap times are shown together with the fastest lines around any race track. This analysis allows racers to reduce their lap times as they can clearly see the most efficient way to ride any circuit. The free-to-download app also features set-up recommendations for the WP suspension, ensuring riders compete with optimal settings for every type of racing surface. Both Factory Edition models are built with the very best Technical Accessories to maximise durability and performance. The Factory Racing wheel set is equipped with Dunlop GEOMAX MX34 tyres, while Factory Racing triple clamps feature handlebar mounts that offer a choice of two mounting positions, as well as the option to be fitted with or without rubber dampers for a customised set-up. To aid durability, the skid plate and front disc protector are made from 2K Carbon. A Rekluse clutch cover, WP Factory start device, GUTS Factory Racing seat cover, and FMF Racing Factory 4.1 silencer further underline the premium specification of each machine.
