2016 Husqvarna FC 350, 2016 Husqvarna® FC 350 POWER AND CONTROL The FC 350 shares much of its engine architecture with the smaller FC 250, therefore combining compact dimensions, light weight and 450-rivalling power. All the packaging benefits of the new DOHC engine are matched to the most advanced electronics. Standard launch control, switchable engine maps and a faster, more powerful engine management system, guarantee that all the 58 horsepower is put to the ground in total control. Features May Include: NEW CRANKSHAFT A new stiffer crankshaft is at the heart of the high power output, high-revving FC 350 engine. The plain big end bearing and two force-fitted bearing shells ensure maximum reliability and durability, guaranteeing long service intervals of 100 hours. NEW ENGINE The repositioning of the crankshaft and clutch shaft, together with the complete redesign of all the internal components as well as the crankcases, results in a 20 mm shorter engine. Weighing only 27.2 kg, the 58 horsepower 350 cc engine is 1 kg lighter than the previous generation engine and is mounted closer to the centre of gravity of the bike. The multifunctional counter balance shaft reduces vibrations while also driving the water pump and timing chain. NEW CYLINDER HEAD The cylinder head retains the DOHC architecture but features a completely redesigned combustion chamber, new ports, new camshafts and new valve springs. The DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating on the finger followers is 30% harder, therefore reducing friction. Large, lightweight 36.3 mm diameter, 22.4 g titanium intake and 29.1 mm, 22.7 g titanium exhaust valves allow the engine to rev freely to the 13,400 rpm ceiling. NEW FRAME With years of experience in designing the most advanced steel frames in offroad, the engineers in Research and Development have designed a completely new chromium molibdenum steel frame that redefines every structural aspect in order to improve handling, ergonomics and packaging. The torsional rigidity and longitudinal stiffness have been completely rethought. The 6mm wider and 2mm lower steel tubes offer 20% more torsional rigidity and 30% less longitudinal stiffness compared to the previous generation frame design. These characteristics, matched to the new engine stays, improve handling precision while at the same time increasing bump-absorption and feeling. NEW CARBON FIBRE SUBFRAME The use of carbon fibre strips away weight, improving weight distribution and bringing weight closer to the centre of gravity for precise handling. The composition of the material is now 30% carbon fibre and the overall 3-piece construction is 1 kg lighter than the previous subframe, for an overall weight of 1.4 kg. It is also more compact as well as being shorter, for greatly improved ergonomics. MAP SWITCH AND LAUNCH CONTROL As in previous model years, the MY16 motocros
