First Look: Husqvarna 2022 MX Range

Much like their 2022-model KTM counterparts, Husqvarna’s motocross bike range only gets refinements to componentry and a fresh new look with dark blue and white graphics for 2022. Also notable is the fact that, after moving away from Brembo to a Magura hydraulic clutch system a few years back, Husky’s 2022 MX models have returned to Brembo hydraulic clutch (to match the Brembo stoppers at both ends).

For a snapshot of the standout mods and componentry found on Husky’s 2022 motocross models, here are the technical highlights that Husqvarna Motorcycles’ PR drew attention to:

• New high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear, near maintenance-free operation and perfect action in every condition
• New Swedish-inspired dark blue and white graphics create striking new look
• WP XACT fork with AER technology – optimal performance and light weight
• WP XACT shock features low-friction linkage seals
• High-grip seat cover texture
• Progressive bodywork for optimal ergonomics

• Innovative two-piece composite subframe design
• Interchangeable airbox cover on FC models for optimised airflow

• Traction and launch control with advanced settings (four-strokes)

If you’re an avowed Husky fan and that snapshot just didn’t cut it for you, here is the PR’s more detailed insight into the 2022-model full-size and minicycle machines…

Delivering true motocross performance and adorned with Swedish-inspired dark blue and white graphics for a striking new look, Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to announce the launch of the nine-motorcycle strong, competition-focused two-stroke and four-stroke line-up. Developed to create superior riding experiences for racers of all ages, all models provide uncompromised power-to-weight performance, together with leading ergonomics and aesthetics, and exceptional handling.

Together with the new dark blue and white colour scheme, Husqvarna Motorcycles has improved the durability of all full-size TC and FC machines with each model now featuring a Brembo hydraulic clutch system. The high-performance component is thoroughly race-tested to guarantee even wear, near maintenance-free operation, and perfect action in all conditions.

Ensuring exceptional comfort and control, the 2022 motocross models are equipped with class-leading WP Suspension, which delivers precise handling to riders of all skill levels. Highly adjustable WP XACT forks with AER technology feature a capsulated air spring and pressurised oil chamber for consistent damping across rough terrain. Complementing the forks, the low-friction seals on the WP XACT shock ensure optimal rear-end performance on all surfaces.

2022 TWO-STROKES

2022 FOUR-STROKES

Engineered to stay ahead of the field, Husqvarna Motorcycles four-stroke machines feature lightweight and compact engines that produce class-leading power and ensure incredible manoeuvrability, together with progressive and consistent suspension. Exclusive to both the FC250 and FC350 machines, for 2022 a new friction bearing on the counter-balancer shaft increases the durability of the high-revving four-stroke engines.
