The following press release is from Husqvarna:

Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. is pleased to announce the new FC 450 Rockstar Edition. A proven model that is continually evolving, the latest version is enhanced by a selection of race-tested components to provide all motocross riders with a competitive edge. The latest factory team replica machine is equipped with a new silencer, wheels, protective parts and revised suspension settings, which give riders of all abilities a definitive on-track advantage. Retaining its class-leading performance, the FC 450 Rockstar Edition is finished with the latest Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing graphics.

Revised shim stack settings inside the WP XACT 48 mm front forks and XACT rear shock enhance the balance of the FC 450 Rockstar Edition to ensure improved stability at high speed without effecting its proven cornering agility. This considered refinement boosts self-confidence, allowing all levels of riders to master the racetrack with complete confidence while consistently posting faster lap times.

All riders can easily customize how the 450 cc SOHC engine performs depending on either their preference or track conditions by using the handlebar-mounted Map Select Switch.

Adjustable Factory Racing triple clamps, Rekluse outer clutch cover, an FMF Racing Factory 4.1 silencer, and Factory Racing wheels with EXCEL Takasago rims headline the hardware while a Factory Start device, GUTS Racing high-grip seat cover, ProTaper handlebar, and soft ODI grips offering assured comfort and control.
