Husqvarna Motorcycles has debuted two additional motorcycles for the 2022 model year, a pair of bikes that have been dubbed the “Rockstar Edition.” Both the FC 250 and FC 450 feature all-new engine/suspension/chassis components and are a sign of what’s to come from the European brand in the future, while celebrating the continued support of Rockstar Energy

The bikes are similar to the “Factory Edition” equipment that was unveiled last week by KTM. 



Husqvarna Motorcycles introduces the 2022 FC 250 Rockstar Edition and FC 450 Rockstar Edition models. All-new engines and chassis keep competitive motocross riders ahead of their rivals, race after race. Class-leading, dynamic performance delivers instant power, while advanced ergonomics provide complete control.

The FC 250 Rockstar Edition features a DOHC engine with unrivalled power and torque. The FC 450 Rockstar Edition has an SOHC unit, also delivering class-leading performance. Both engines are all-new, lightweight and are repositioned in their frames for optimal mass-centralization, guaranteeing easy handling and control.

The FC 250 Rockstar Edition and FC 450 Rockstar Edition also have completely revised chassis for 2022. Both bikes feature a new hydro-formed chromium molybdenum frame designed for improved anti-squat behavior under power. A new die-cast aluminum swingarm provides optimal rigidity with low weight. A durable, aluminum-polyamide hybrid subframe is designed for specifically calculated rigidity.

Suspension is by WP. New XACT 48 mm front forks with AER technology provide more progressive damping at the end of their stroke, while the latest XACT rear shock design features tool-free adjustment.

A new, multifunctional map switch selects power delivery modes. It also activates traction and launch control features, and an Easy Shift for seamless upshifts of the revised-ratio five-speed gearboxes in both the FC 250 Rockstar Edition and FC450 Rockstar Edition.

New bodywork, adorned with the latest Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing graphics, has tailored ergonomics for ease of movement on the motorcycle. This gives riders greater control to focus on racing.

The FC 250 Rockstar Edition and FC 450 Rockstar Edition replicate the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing bikes competing in AMA Supercross, and offer competitive machinery to all motocross racers.
