The latest technology, the best components, and an unrivalled riding experience. The FE 450 Heritage model offers it all. Producing a broad spread of controllable power, the engine has been designed to position all shaft arrangements at the ideal centre of gravity for exceptional manoeuvrability. Aiding this agile feel is the chassis, which is manufactured using advanced engineering techniques to be perfectly balanced for a less fatiguing ride. Together with WP XACT suspension, enhanced comfort across rough terrain is assured. Complete with modern electronics and high-quality components, the FE 450 is finished with distinctive graphics exclusive to the Heritage model range.
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.
The current generation engine is designed for maximum power, which is delivered in a controllable way to suit all kinda of enduro riding. Inside, all major components and shaft arrangements are positioned close to the centre of gravity to reduce the effects of rotational inertia, which leads to agile handling. Positioned in the chassis to further centralise mass, the engine weighs just 28.8 kilograms and with an output of almost 51 hp, this 350 cc 4-stroke engine is both light and powerful
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.
