TESTED IN DEPTH: HUSQVARNA’S 2022 4-STROKE FE ENDURO RANGE

Спорт

Husqvarna’s 2022-model enduro machines sure look different from their predecessors. The frame, seat, hand guards and fork protectors are now all grey, and gone is any hint of blue in the plastics or graphics (Husky logo on front and rears guards aside, that is).
But has there been any significant change in their performance? Yes, there has! Revised mapping and suspension settings give each model a better-balanced and more lively character for 2022, while the introduction of the Braktec hydraulic clutch and brakes has improved their feel and predictability under both acceleration and braking.
But which of the capacities is most likely to suit you, and why? Join us as we check in with Geoff Ballard and Todd Waters for an in-depth yarn about the comparative pros and cons of each of these 2022 enduro weapons from Husqvarna.

    Hated the forks on my 19/20 bike. Would blow through but then feel sharp. Horrible. Glad they’ve addressed the preload for the initial stroke.

    Hi guys, congrats, really interesting review! I'm thinking to buy one of those incredible machines... The latest brand new Husqvarna FE350 2022 or an unsold FE450 season 2020, both completely new. What's your opinion guys? 350 would be more than enough, I think, to ride with friends into forests, sandy and rocky road.. But the main doubt I've is 2020 vs 2022... Clutch, suspension, etc. Price is "just" 700 euro difference... What do you recommend? Thanks and cheers from Italy :)

    I'd go for the 450. I bought a 21 FE350 Rockstar Edition in August last year thinking that a 350 would be enough. It wasn't, so l got a Vortex ECU , FMF ti slip on and a vented airbox for it. Coming from mostly a MX background, it was still lacking torque. I'm trading mine in for a 22 FE450 tomorrow. I knew that the FE would be softer than the FC or FX, but I didn't think that it would be as slow as it is even with the mods that I've done. I'm 100kg and l raced for several years mostly MX but some enduro and flat track as well. I'm going for the 450 because I got some motard wheels for the 350 and it's just way too slow and lackluster to be exciting compared to the 450/501.

    @@scottyd2262 Hi Scotty, thanks so much for your suggestion! I appreciate. Yeah, as someone say, the power is never too much! And above all it seems that from the 350 to 450 the handling does not change very much, having identical frame and chassis, even if a little more in weight. They say that even the management costs are similar, as the purchase price has a very little difference... Perhaps the real sensible gap (choice) is to go for the FE250 or FE450 ???

    Hey Mike what did you hate about it? My mate bought a 20 TE300 and also really struggled to get used to it. Lots of of ejections! I have been thinking of switching from my FE450 to a TE250 or 300 just to try the TPI.

    @@edwardhartley1307 TE are great bikes, I own a 21 TE250i. You've gotta learn the warm up procedure vs a regular 2 stroke. You'll foul plugs left and right if you touch the throttle during warm up. Our bike did have the CCPS issue, once resolved everything was fine. Even when the sensor was bad, bike still ran great. Just a slight off idle bog easy to drive around is the common complaint if the sensor is bad. Suspension is amazing!! Absolutely nothing bad, just a solid bike. I also own a 22 FX450.

    I'm sorry Alex, but comments like this make no sense, they mean nothing if no explanations are given. To say that one shouldn't waste money on a motorcycle, without explaining why, it really doesn't make sense. And personally, I have doubts about who shoots like this on a model or a brand ....................... !?!? If we are serious enduro riders, we should help us in the choice of our next bike. Obviously aware that each of us can prefer one bike more than another, knowing that every bike has its pros and cons....
