The 2011 MY Husqvarna SM 450 R sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 449cc, single cylinder powerhouse mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Its engine has been improved with the addition of steel exhaust valves, as well as more powerful water pumps, which increase performance and engine life. In addition, the 2010 MY has seen an upgrade in its livery also, both in shape and in colors used.
It features a high-end suspension package, composed of a 50mm Marzocchi upside-down fork and a progressive rear monoshock, which make for one of the most agile machines available on the market. Also, the Brembo braking system not only increases its performance, but also the safety of this cool machine.
