With the FE 250 as its foundation, the FE 250 Heritage model benefits from the same high performance platform. Class leading Brembo brake systems provide excellent stopping power with a Brembo clutch delivering reliability and consistent action, even in the most demanding conditions. Assembled around a beautifully crafted chassis, which is perfectly balanced for maximum agility, the proven, class-leading engine delivers a broad spread of power that is easy to customise thanks to the advanced electronics.
Completing the build is a long list of race-tested components - WP suspension, Michelin tyres, D.I.D. rims, and ProTaper handlebars. Without question, the FE 250 Heritage model is capable of racing at the highest levels of enduro in standard form with its distinctive appearance setting itself apart from the competition.
The bodywork is designed to allow riders to perform at their best for extended periods of time. A flat seat profile offers unrestricted movement. Above the side panels, recessed pockets allow for the machine to be lifted and moved, which is particularly beneficial for those competing in extreme enduro events.
A proven chromium molybdenum steel frame ensures straight-line stability at speed without sacrificing agility through the slow and technical sections. Optimised wall thickness throughout the chassis aids durability, in addition to providing unparalleled rider feedback and energy absorption. For an optimised level of anti-squat behaviour and overall chassis balance, the shock is not directly connected to the main tube. The frame is complete with a premium metallic blue powder coating with frame protectors offering improved grip in all conditions.
Engineered to ensure class-leading performance and play a vital role in its agile handling characteristics, all major components and shaft arrangements inside the FE 250 Heritage engine are carefully positioned closer to the centre of gravity to reduce the effects of rotational inertia. Positioned in the chassis to further centralise mass, the 250 cc 4-stroke engine is also very light, tipping the scales at just over 27.8 kg.
Designed and developed for the rigours of enduro riding, the WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks offer consistent performance thanks to an innovative internal design that optimises oil flow and prevents oil from foaming. The hydrostop, effective in the last 68 mm of travel, is highly advantageous when landing heavily as it helps to maintain forward momentum. Additionally, riders can alter the compression and rebound settings quickly and easily using the tool-free adjusters found at the top and bottom of each fork leg.
The lightweight WP XACT rear shock offers 300mm of travel. With the rebound and both high and low speed compression adjustable by hand, setting changed can be achieved quickly and easily without tools. Complete with a CFD optimised shock piston, low friction seals, and a new, smaller linkage bolt to reduce weight consistent damping, comfort, and traction is guaranteed.
