2010 Husaberg FX 450
We're looking forward to getting some seat time very soon on the all-new Husaberg dirt bikes.
Husaberg has been pretty subdued about its 2010 lineup, but we recently clicked over to the Swedish brand’s website and discovered that they have released a bit of information about the new models to go along with the previous teaser video. More importantly, we finally have some photos of the new bikes so be sure to check out the 2010 Husaberg Dirt Bike Models photo gallery. There still aren’t many details about the new machines, but we’ll get the full scoop this weekend when we head to Washington for the press launch. For now, check out the spec sheets for the FE 390, FX 450 and FS 570.

Husaberg is catering to the extreme enduro riders with the 2010 FE 390 – but supreme tractability and lightweight handling sound like traits the regular trail rider will appreciate also. All of the bikes use some version of the radical 70-degreee inverted single cylinder engine. Where the FE line is geared at enduro riding, the new FX 450 has come about to serve the more aggressive needs of cross-country style racing. With street tires and motard sytling, the FS 570 is a big-bore supermoto that will wreak havoc on public streets. We don’t have a price for the FS, but here are the MSRP figures for the rest of the Husaberg line:

FE 390 - $8898
FE 450 - $9498
FE 570 – $9998
FX 450 - $9498

thanks for the info JC. I heard the new Gas-Gas's should be interesting as well. Buzz at the track today was that they have a new chassis and some engine partnership with Yamaha.
