HEAVILY UPDATED MX HUSKYS FOR 2019 or 2019 Husqvarna Motorcycles is introducing its new generation of five two-stroke and four-stroke machines, from the nimble TC125 through to the potent FC450. Most immediately noticeable is the new frame's blue powder coat. Under the powder, there's an increase in longitudinal rigidity to improve feedback to the rider. The subframes are new too, cutting 250g off the bike's weight. The front and rear suspension get new settings to match the new frame's characteristics to “improve energy absorption and straight-line stability.” 14 KIWI RIDER
