HUSQVARNA 2020 MX BIKES: FIRST LOOK

Husqvarna just released its 2020 motocross bikes. All MX models, both two-stroke and four-stroke, are now out and will be appearing  in dealers very soon. This year there are no big surprises in the MX range. Husqvarna already spilled the beans by releasing the Rockstar Edition back in December of 2018, and that model is invariably a preview of things to come. Still, the FC450 got a new piston and new suspension settings.  The look has been updated, as well. The information below is from the official Husqvarna press release.
