The 2018 Husqvarna FC 450 is a polished machine in stock trim, but as with any bike, there are plenty of things you can do to make it your own. As with our ’17 build, we hit up the gang at Twisted Development to coordinate this project. We all agreed the engine on the 2018 FC 450 was solid off the showroom floor, so we left that alone; the Husqvarna engine is so strong and broad in its power delivery that there really isn’t a need for more power. Despite that, we added a Pro Circuit complete exhaust system to shave some weight and up the cool factor a bit. The exhaust does improve power, but it remains rideable and smooth, keeping the stock feel of the original powerband similar and familiar.
