FIRST RIDE: HUSQVARNA FC450 ROCKSTAR EDITION

The Husqvarna Rockstar Edition is here, decked out in the colors of the factory race team. As a tribute to Jason Anderson’s 2018 AMA Supercross title, it bears a big number one in addition to team graphics. It’s a tradition for this bike to be a preview of the next year’s production model–this time last year was when we got our first look at the 2019 frame, head and bodywork. The 2020 model has fewer changes in store, but it will have a new piston, rod and rockerarms. The WP air fork has a number of changes and will now be called the WP XACT. The FMF Factory 4.1 pipe, the machined triple clamps (with reversible stem), the anodized hubs and other items are exclusive to this special edition. The price will be $11,199. Here’s what we had to say about the bike in this edition of the ’19s video series.
