Deflection on the shock absorber, two mappings that do not differ much in practice.

The modified suspension setup with more reserves in a sporty pace is not visible, but clearly noticeable.

In the meantime, word has got around that Husqvarnas are produced by KTM in Mattighofen.

With fine responsiveness thanks to the deflection on the shock absorber and the upside-down fork, bumps are easily ironed away.

It is really fascinating what potential the enduro also has in motocross.

For most amateur pilots, but also for professional athletes, the 350cc KTM single delivers the best compromise between decent torque and smooth running.

Husqvarna FE 350 in the test (2018)
Sports enduro in check
The Husqvarna FE 350 has always impressed with its very sporty handling. We gave the revised 2019 model the spurs: the FE in the Fly & Ride test.
If you want to get active in enduro sports, you should consider the Husqvarna F.Definitely take the E 350 into the shortlist. The last time there were major changes were in 2017 with modifications to the frame, engine and chassis, for 2019 it was left with a minor facelift (new look, clutch cover). The modified suspension setup with more reserves in a sporty pace is not visible, but clearly noticeable. In the meantime, word has got around that Husqvarnas are produced by KTM in Mattighofen. But that doesn’t mean that the blue-white huskies and the orange KTMs only differ in color.

Husqvarna FE 350 in the test (2018)
Sports enduro in check
Husky a little more expensive than the KTM sister
The Husqvarna FE 350 differs from the “sister model” EXC-F 350 not only because of its independent design but also with its lighter rear frame made of carbon / plastic (EXC-F 350: aluminum), milled fork bridges and manually adjustable spring preload of the fork springs. The most important difference, however, is likely to be the deflection on the shock absorber. The bottom line is that you flip 200 euros more on the counter: 10,295 euros at the Husky, 10,095 euros for the KTM.

Buyers have to invest 10,295 euros for the Husqvarna FE 350.
The WP chassis works absolutely convincingly on the motocross track. With fine responsiveness thanks to the deflection on the shock absorber and the upside-down fork, bumps are confidently ironed away. Nevertheless, the undercarriage has enough suspension reserves for larger jumps, even if the landing is not perfect. It is really fascinating what potential the enduro also has in motocross. The Husqvarna FE 350 engine impresses with its smooth running and delivers enough power and torque for a brisk pace. The throttle response can be adjusted in two positions via a handlebar fitting. A traction control that can be switched off ensures maximum propulsion. That all sounds like small steps, but makes big leaps possible. well done!
Noticed positively: Powerful engine; tightly tuned, but finely responsive suspension
Noticed negatively: High purchase price

For most amateur pilots, but also for professional athletes, the 350cc KTM single delivers the best compromise between decent torque and smooth running. In the competition vote, this equates to 48 hp and 40 Nm – who needs more? In the approved vote, however, the Husqvarna FE 350 is only allowed to produce 15 hp.
