Husqvarna has unveiled its FC 250 Factory Edition and FC 450 Factory Edition lineup for 2025.

Once the CUO is paired with the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app on a smartphone, Husqvarna’s Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) and the front fender-mounted GPS sensor offer a choice of preset engine maps and each map can then be personalized and saved. Engine braking, Launch and Traction Control, as well as Quickshifter sensitivity can be adjusted, and every track session can be recorded by the GPS sensor.
