Motorcycle specifications HusqvarnaFE 350 2016 Perform without strain

The FE 350 shares the same engine architecture as the FE 250, but with 25% more power. By combining power close to that of the 450 with the size and weight of the 250, the 350 delivers maximum performance with less effort. The precise six-speed gearbox adapts to the new Brembo hydraulic clutch for smooth gear changes, while Brembo brake calipers and new disc brakes guarantee superior stopping power and maximum comfort.

engine

powerful torque is delivered over a very wide rpm range, with smooth, effortless acceleration up to a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm. The 28.5 kg 350 cm3 engine puts the FE 350 on a par with its 450 cm3 rivals. The 57.5 mm stroke and 88 mm bore accommodate large-diameter valves. The 36.3 mm intake and 29.1 mm exhaust valves, all in titanium, weigh just 22.4 g and 22.7 g respectively, and are operated by DLC-coated followers. Cam actuation and overall performance are tailored to enduro-style riding.

crankshaft

world-class performance and incredible reliability are achieved through the most advanced crankshaft and connecting rod technologies. All 4-stroke engines feature crankshafts and connecting rods manufactured by industry leader Pankl, ensuring by far the best durability and longest service intervals in the enduro racing segment (135 hours between major engine overhauls). Smooth connecting-rod bearing and press-fit bearing shells ensure high performance and durability.

balancer shaft

on 4-stroke engines, vibrations are kept to a minimum thanks to a multifunctional balancer shaft that cancels out inertia forces and contributes to engine compactness. It also drives the water pump and timing chain, reducing the engine's overall dimensions.

cooling system

wP Performance Systems radiators feature a liquid path integrated into the frame. This system efficiently dissipates heat and ensures optimum compactness and cooling thanks to the reduction in piping.

chromoly steel frame

high-quality, high-strength steel is laser-cut and robot-welded to rigorous standards by WP Performance Systems, in precise compliance with the torsional rigidity, longitudinal flexibility and weight defined by our R&D department. Precisely defined torsional rigidity enables great handling and promotes stability, while longitudinal flexibility facilitates the absorption of terrain impacts and, in combination with the suspension, gives greater comfort and a better feel. The lightweight design allows riders to choose faster routes with confidence and maintain a steady racing pace over long periods.

polyamide rear section

the lightweight, three-piece rear section is more flexible than a traditional aluminum rear section. Combined with the frame's longitudinal flexibility and rear linkage system, it gives the rider a greater sense of comfort and confidence on his machine, enabling him to push the limits in all conditions and on all terrains. The design of the composite rear frame incorporates an airbox and rear grips.

new Brembo hydraulic clutch

the FE 350 now features a new Brembo hydraulic clutch system. The high-quality clutch system ensures perfect clutch modulation in all conditions. This means that backlash is constantly compensated for, and the pressure point and clutch operation remain the same in hot or cold weather, and over long periods of time. The Brembo clutch is also characterized by very even wear, and is virtually maintenance-free.

a redesigned gearbox

all enduro models are equipped with a lightweight six-speed gearbox with enduro-specific gear ratios. Particular attention has been paid to the ease and precision of gear changes. In the AM 16 range, the FE 250 and FE 350 feature a new bearing on the gearbox input shaft, as well as a new screw and washer to simplify mounting of the shift lever.

new disc brakes

new GSK rear and front disc brakes offer superior stopping power and enhanced control thanks to their innovative design.

rear linkage

now in its third year of development, the Husqvarna enduro rear linkage is proving to be the optimal choice for all riding styles and skill levels. This versatile system performs well on a wide variety of terrains, from narrow, technical tracks to wide, high-speed circuits. The high level of comfort provided by our linkage system allows the rider to tackle rough terrain with optimum feel and traction in all circumstances.

revised setting for WP shock absorber

wP Performance Systems' high-performance DCC (Dual Compression Control) rear shock absorber has a revised setting and new valves to match the geometry and setting changes on the front axle. This new setup improves damping characteristics and balance. The rear DCC shock absorber guarantees excellent damping characteristics, as well as maximum feel and comfort. The shock absorber is fully adjustable for rebound and compression at high/low speeds.

new 4CS fork adjustment

wP suspension is of exceptional quality and offers the highest levels of performance. Precise design, quality materials and advanced production processes are the hallmarks of WP forks across the Husqvarna range. With the new offset on the fork tees and fork legs, the 4CS setting has been revised to adapt to the new front-end geometry. Now in production for four years, the 4CS fork has achieved a perfect balance between performance, feel and reliability.

aluminium swingarm

a great deal of development effort has gone into the aluminum swingarm to meet the very ambitious targets set by professional riders. The precisely studied flexion of the swingarm gives riders a perfect feel for the terrain, enabling them to adjust power to the rear wheel for optimum traction and speed. The one-piece construction of the aluminum swingarm eliminates the need for welds, providing greater reliability, stability and safety than other manufacturing processes, as well as superior quality and consistent performance over time.

lighter wheel spokes

in our constant effort to make the machine more maneuverable and lighter, we have equipped the AM 16 range with lighter spokes on both wheels, resulting in an overall weight reduction of 100 g.

blue anodized rear sprocket

the Supersprox 2K blue-anodized rear sprocket greatly enhances the sporty look, as well as improving quality and performance. The high-strength steel teeth last at least three times longer than aluminum sprockets, while the lightweight aluminum inner ring reduces unsprung weight by 50% compared to steel sprockets.

new seat insert

the new saddle pad is highly resistant and has a much higher grip than the previous material. The color, now dark blue, blends perfectly with the new fairing color.
