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.

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
