Elevate your personal best
Hailed as the highest performing 250 cc 4-stroke motocross machine on the market, the FC 250 is equipped with multiple, performance-focused technical upgrades to maintain its place at the head of the field.
New for 2024, striking white, yellow, and grey graphics are applied using in-mould technology for an outstanding and long-lasting finish while revised suspension settings further improve overall handling.
Housed inside a lightweight chromium molybdenum frame, the compact, powerful, and versatile engine features a Pankl gearbox for smooth gear changes with a Quickshifter further aiding upshifts, especially under heavy load.
The all-new WP XACT rear shock is 100 g lighter and 15 mm shorter than its predecessor yet the travel remains unchanged. Inside the shock is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimised main piston for improved initial comfort which provides strong hold-up in all conditions.
Matching the new frame design and suspension set-up, the CNC-machined triple clamps provide precisely calculated geometry for increased stability.
The upper triple clamp is stiffer to ensure a smoother fork action and plays a vital role in the perfect alignment of the front wheel for superior handling.
The 48 mm split air forks now offer improved bottoming resistance thanks to a new hydro stop, which applies a progressive damping force in the last 40 mm of travel for even greater comfort.
Additionally, the air pump needed to adjust the fork’s air pressure is provided as standard.
The high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear, near maintenance-free operation and perfect modulation in every condition.
Countless hours of race-focused testing have proven the high-quality, Italian-made Brembo hydraulic systems’ exceptional reliability.
Developed between Husqvarna Motorcycles and leading handlebar manufacturer, ProTaper, the exclusive bend offers superior comfort, class-leading strength, and fatigue resistance at the lowest possible weight.
Engineered to ensure class-leading performance and handling characteristics, all major engine components and shaft arrangements are carefully positioned closer to the centre of gravity to reduce the effects of rotational inertia.
The FC 250 engine remains remarkably powerful with an increased power output and impressive torque to suit riders of all abilities.
ODI lock-on grips feature an innovative integrated throttle mechanism and a glue-free installation.
The throttle assembly offers easy free-play adjustment with the option to fit alternative cams for a personalised throttle action.
Map select switch
A redesigned and intuitive handlebar-mounted map select switch allows riders to activate launch and traction control, enable the new Quickshifter functionality, and allows riders to toggle between two engine maps. The easy-to-operate map select switch allows racers to quickly alter and set up the engine characteristics on a race by race basis dependent on track conditions and rider preference.
Quickshifter
The new Quickshifter function can be activated or deactivated via the map select switch. The function works only when upshifting, interrupting the ignition for a fraction of a second. This allows upshifting while the throttle is fully open without the use of the clutch. A sensor on the shift drum registers the force from the shift lever, sends the signal to the ECU and the ignition timing is interrupted. To prevent unintended shifts and false neutrals, the function is only active from second gear upwards.
Traction Control
Traction control on the FC 250 is engaged by a button marked ‘TC’ on the map select switch and functions by analysing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which engine RPM increases. If the RPM increases too quickly, the Engine Management System (EMS) registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel to ensure maximum traction. This is a distinct advantage in wet or muddy conditions.
Launch Control
With the engine at idle, launch control is engaged by pressing the traction control and Quick shift buttons simultaneously. Both symbols will start flashing to indicate the launch control is active. This function limits the amount of power to the rear wheel, improving traction, and preventing loss of control under hard acceleration. Once a gear change is made, the launch control will deactivate automatically. Additionally, the Quickshifter function is deactivated while launch control mode is engaged.
Mapping
For personalised power delivery, the FC 250 has two built-in engine maps as standard. Map 1 offers linear, predictable power, while Map 2 is more aggressive for a sharper throttle response and more explosive power output.
