With its modern chassis, advanced technology, and the very best components, the FE 450 is a high-performance enduro machine. The engine's layout positions all shaft arrangements close to the centre of gravity to enhance agility, while the broad power delivery can be customised easily using a range of electronic rider aids. Across rough terrain, the WP suspension and perfectly balanced frame work as one to ensure a less fatiguing ride. To complete the build, the FE 450 is finished with graphics inspired by the Swedish heritage of the brand for an unmistakable look.
Features may include:
Progressive performanceAdvanced engineering techniques are used to build the engine to ensure maximum performance. It is then positioned in the frame to assist with the anti-squat behaviour from the chassis while also helping to centralise mass. Lightweight at just 29 kg, the 450 cc 4-stroke engine is also powerful with a peak power output.
The SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact and lightweight with the camshaft positioned as close to the centre of gravity as possible. A durable, fine-punched cam chain and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated rocker arm offer optimal efficiency and reliability with a single oil spray jet providing effective cooling. Valve timings are optimised for maximum torque and a smooth power delivery.
State-of-the-art chassisWith an optimised distribution of material around the steering head and upper shock mount, the frame delivers confidence-inspiring handling and assured stability when entering corners. To complement the overall look of the machine, the chromium molybdenum chassis is finished with a premium, metallic blue powder coating. The finishing touches are the frame protectors, which not only protect the paintwork, but also provide riders with additional grip, even in the toughest conditions.
Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminium, the subframe offers exceptional strength and durability at a low overall weight of just 1.8 kg. The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminium for reliability with the upper section made from injection-molded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics.
