Husqvarna Mobility unveils the 2026 FS 450, a supermoto machine with technical refinements for enhanced performance and durability. Updates include revised fuel injection, a modified silencer, and new airbox inserts for sound level compliance. The FS 450 will be available from authorised dealerships for £11,499, with production starting in October 2025.
Husqvarna Mobility proudly announces the arrival of the 2026 FS 450, the latest generation of its highly capable short-circuit racer. The renowned supermoto machine is updated with several technical refinements to ensure it continues to set the benchmark for performance and durability, while a distinctive new look elevates its appearance.
Engineered to deliver pure supermoto performance, the FS 450 offers a riding experience like nothing else. The high-performance machine is expertly assembled around a perfectly balanced chassis, and features WP suspension and Metzeler Racetec SM K1 tyres for controlled and effortless drifting through every corner.
For 2026, the FS 450 is enhanced with multiple updates. A revised fuel injection setting, modified silencer, and new airbox inserts reduce sound levels to comply with competition regulations. In addition, a new threaded radiator cap simplifies coolant inspection, while a stronger fuel line protector offers improved reliability.
Powering the FS 450 is a compact, SOHC 450 cc 4-stroke engine that delivers smooth, responsive power throughout the rev range. Performance can be tailored via Launch Control, Traction Control, a Quickshifter, and a choice of two engine maps. All rider aids are easily activated or deactivated – even while riding – using the handlebar-mounted Map Select Switch.
To further enhance performance, the FS 450 can be paired with the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app using the Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO). This technology puts the machine’s engine characteristics into the hands of the rider for a truly personalised experience. Offered as a Technical Accessory, the CUO redefines how the FS 450 performs on track.
The extensive list of race-tested components used to assemble the FS 450 underlines its competition-focused design. Premium parts from Brembo, ProTaper, ODI, Braking, and Alpina highlight the specification, and all play a vital role in ensuring overall performance is matched by durability and control.
The new FS 450 will be available from authorised Husqvarna Mobility dealerships for £11,499. Production begins in October 2025, with limited units available in the UK.
