Undergoing multiple revisions to further enhance its proven technical abilities, the FE 250 features a new engine, frame, and suspension for 2024 for improved performance. Featuring a lightweight, compact, and redesigned engine, all riders are set to benefit from the refinements with the power delivery easily customisable for a personalised riding experience. Together with a new frame and WP Suspension, the rideability and handling are much improved with the revised, ergonomic bodywork offering even greater control. Complete with a fresh, Swedish-inspired look and assembled with premium components throughout, the FE 250 is capable of competing at the highest level of enduro in standard form.
Adorned with clean, Swedish-inspired graphics, the bodywork is designed to allow riders to perform at their best for extended periods of time. A flat seat profile offers unrestricted movement with a new, high grip cover ensuring riders stay firmly in place under hard acceleration. 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 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.
