First Impressions: 2023 Husqvarna FC 350

Check out our thoughts after spending the day on Husqvarna's 2023 FC 350. Is it truly the best all-around motocross bike?

[@John637]

I got a 2020 FC350. Awesome bike. Had both a 450 & multiple 250 4 strokes (not really a two stroke guy) the 250 always left me wanting but the 450 beat me to death so the 350 is awesome for anyone on the fence. In my mid 30’s now full time weekend warrior.

(begginer) I want to buy my first bike for dunes primarily , between yz250f 2022 or fc250 or fc350 . how is the durablitily of your FC350 2020 ?

[@John637]

@@aenarcos7021 I’ve had 3 bikes from the KTM family now and they’re as good as anything, yami’s are known for being hearty/durable but the 350 would probably be better for the dunes the sand robs a lot of horsepower

[@westmetal17]

I’ve never ridden a big bike 4 stroke. Currently on a 2019 250 2 stroke, does anyone have any opinions on how it compares to a 350??

I was debating the shortened suspension set up in 2021 Husqvarna's. Ended up with KTM instead. I think if the shortened set up would lose the initial plushness and feel stiffer in small choppy bumps.

[@edsonroadmoto]

Being 5’6” @ 165lbs, I can see this benefits the shorter riders like myself. Can we have RC take a stab around the track a few times and see his perspective since Triumphs MX bike won’t be out until closer to 2024.

[@Fatonzzz]

Maybe it has to do with the conditions I ride, or simply how I ride, or maybe even just different/newer chassis, but I'm getting older/fatter and I'm more comfortable after only 5 hours on my 2022 KX450 with stock suspension than I ever was in 4 years of riding my 2018 Husky 350 with custom suspension. ....and my 350 I definitely thought was a great bike.

[@tactikoolcloud8788]

Did you just go around on every FC350 review and put out more or less the same comment?

[@Fatonzzz]

@@tactikoolcloud8788 I watch every bike review video and I often comment on videos to which I have relevant experience.

[@MotoMatt418]

That KX is a fantastic all around bike.

[@TheJoeml85]

i can't decide if i want a 23 fc 350 or yz450f

[@rogerfrean207]

what did you decide?

[@Superdisco199]

About 60% of testers are saying new models are stiffer and 40% saying it's plusher..... weird.

[@kvb_4117]

Frame is stiffer and the suspension is probably plushier

[@vitalmx]

@@kvb_4117 opposite, frame softer, suspension stiffer.

[@kvb_4117]

@@vitalmx ok ok thanks! I’ve been hearing the same thing wasn’t sure which way it went.

[@NickW90]

@@vitalmx not what racer x review says

[@maxmccord7733]

@@vitalmx why is almost every other media outlet saying the opposite about the frame? I don't think I've seen anywhere say its softer except here. Even in the press releases I remember them saying the new frame was more rigid at the shock tower and headtube.

[@bikerdude6119]

Someone is eating really good lol 🥲

[@vitalmx]

Really good! 😂 too much good

[@Getman43]

What class does this race with???

[@levistuck3960]

Open class/450 class

[@deanlavender18780]

whoever approved this colour scheme needs to be sacked ASAP. That's one ugly bike

[@beverywhereyouare]

It's: HUSK-varna 🤣🤣🤣

[@theadorebundy4514]

That color scheme is fugly!! Lol

[@Floridawoodsbanshee]

The bike is ugly.

[@ryanblacklock3005]

Subjective. I love the way it looks.

[@Floridawoodsbanshee]

@@ryanblacklock3005 they can do better. Gas gas looks great. New KTMs look better then last year. But it is subjective as you say.
