On The Pegs Vol. 4 Issue 1 - January 2019 P 47 BUILT FOR COMPETITION At the leading edge of motocross development, Husqvarna Motorcycles intro- duce a series of considered upgrades to the FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION. With the distinctive bodywork receiving new graphics, the end result clearly showcases the direction of Husqvarna Motorcycles’ pioneering development. Replicating the advanced engine technology used by the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team in their championship-winning machines, the FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION model year 2019 features a new CP forged box-in-box pis- ton and a new Pankl conrod. Providing reduced friction, the new piston and con- rod ensure the SOHC engine continues to offer the highest level of performance and reliability available in the market today. The all-new FC 450 ROCKSTAR EDITION machine features FMF Racing’s Factory 4.1 RCT silencer. The new exhaust system has a blue anodized titanium body and a carbon end cap. In addition, it offers a shorter overall length that makes it less susceptible to damage. Moving the silencer closer to the engine also aids mass centralisation.
