Husqvarna - SM 450R
The Husqvarna SM 450 R has seen some quite radical changes reflecting the experience gained from wins on world championship supermotard tracks.
Husqvarna engineers concentrated on the frame to make lighter and easier to handle. To achieve this, the frame is of a completely new design. The frame is also one kilo lighter than before. The new look of the bike is both eye-catching and different.
The newly designed side stand is made of forged aluminium. The engine has a new over-pressure valve in the oil circuit, a new needle cage lubrication bearing and a new oil filter. The exhaust valves are made of steel to ensure longer life and reliability.
The gearbox has been renewed to offer improved gear change speed and accuracy. Gearbox design has seen changes in terms of: gear change linkage, lever and selector mechanisms. The 450 and 510 engines have also benefited from a new timing gear chain tensioner that was introduced to improve chain tension and reduce contact pressure. The exhaust system has twin aluminium silencers that create a very special sound, reduce overall noise levels and improve performance.
