new dirt bike intro - Husaberg FX450

[@chrisbridgland7212]

I still have a 2009 FE570 that I bought new 12 years ago! Best bike I have ever owned! Super reliable and a fantastic all rounder! Will never sell it! 😍

[@scottyd2262]

I've been looking for a FE570 for years.. l can't find one in Australia (very rare Down Under) Anyone that has one thinks the same way as you.. LOL !😆 If l had one l wouldn't sell it either !

[@theblishknovk]

@@scottyd2262 i happened to have taken a trip to Australia a few years back and ended up doing half a days ride on an FE570 in Coffs Harbor that some one lent me. I was highly appreciative. What a bike!!! at the time i was used to riding an xr650l, so the 570 felt like a mountain bike in comparison with twice the power haha.

[@Shoorit]

I’ve never seen this engine mounting before and I’ve just been down a rabbit hole because I’m fascinated by it.

[@dirtniron]

it is very interesting, right?! it feels lighter since all the rotating mass is in different place compared to conventional engines.. felt quite nimble for 450

[@GeezerWheels]

Great vid! I've had a 2011 FE30 (70 degree) for 3 years now. I live and ride in the mountains of Colorado and I've never ridden a better off road bike! After adding Michelin MT43 tires, it hooks up on our rocky terrain like a champ. Plenty of power for 6' 3" 205 lb 70 year old geezer! At 3000 miles, I had a seal go out - no problem, easy, cheap fix (was a very slow oil leak). NO other issues at all - love this piece of machinery and it pulls like a moose at any RPM. - Ray, near Durango, CO

[@dirtniron]

thanks for sharing Ray, they are really great machines! I would love to ride Colorado one day, you guys have some of the best trails out there

[@jonnymac8925]

You are 70 and still ride off road? Damn, I hope I can be like you someday, Ray! Love it!

[@simonlarsson1313]

I live a couple of miles from where the original husaberg factory was. It was always a dream for me to ride a husaberg as a kid so i have started to collect all generetions of husaberg now :) this was a cool video:)

[@christerstefansson7416]

Husaberg won the Enduro world championship on its first year of making and selling the bike in 1989 . It was a 88 model but it wasnt massproduced then . Husaberg was the brand that made people understand that 4 strokes was the future back in the early 90:s . Joel Smith also dominated the MX 500 class on a Husaberg for many years when all the outhers was racing CR , KX , KTM 500 2 strokes. The name Husaberg comes from the name of the place were they started building it ( Husabergs Udde )

[@dirtniron]

thats great info, thanks for sharing Christer!

[@MrCyphermonkey]

Joel smets

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

This engine configuration has also been experimented with by BMW. Simply the best, it‘s a shame nobody uses it. Tilting the cylinder forward also means that you need less oil pressure to get the oil to the head (because you‘re not fighting gravity as much) leading to slightly more power. It‘s also easier to service the head because there‘s no tank or frame in the way.

[@turokrem79]

Mention the airbox. Where ktm is gulping water , husaberg just swims by.

[@wawaron1407]

Believe me, the others bikes are enduro, the Zab is amphibious...

[@mountaindirtbikingwithjere3370]

Shit! This video made me way more proud to know that there's one in my garage! Even though I'm from Finland and I should be hating on our neighbours, I gotta admit the Swedes made a pretty awesome bike!

One of the BEST dirt biker ever build. Congrats.

thanks bro!

[@dltreecare6031]

Very true

[@neonalon]

Nice vid, I have a 450 70 degree husaberg too! Now on supermoto wheels and it's a great bike on the asphalt as well! Surprisingly it keeps up well with higher cc road bikes too! Everything you touch or work on screems quality. Easy to work on for the most part and very little to replace or check actually.

[@dirtniron]

Thanks for sharing bro!

[@willmaster5640]

Great bike with a wonderful history. 70 degree engine is sweet!

[@dirtniron]

yes, great bike, very original.

[@akathecanadian]

It’s nice that from 2012-2016 are the same bikes (ktm husqy husa) good power plant. 2017 onwards is updated engine which like 0 vibration and the engines are amazing. Can’t wait for an upgrade :)))

[@dirtniron]

specially 2 strokes, 2017 and up is great step forward.. its like no vibrations at all

[@maverick2242]

Oh they did make MX bikes and won the World 500cc Championship in the 90s. Husaberg won the FIM 500 cc Motocross World Championship with Belgian rider Joël Smets in 1995, 1997 and 1998.[13] They also won 6 Enduro World Championships in 1990, 1991 (2), 1995, 1996 and 1998. Three more Junior Enduro World Championships followed in 2005/2006 by Joakim Ljunggren and in 2009 by Oriol Mena. Awesome for such a short history.

[@dirtniron]

very impressive record, they had great developers

[@maverick2242]

Dirt N Iron Yes they did, even pre Husaberg days the Husky Enduro bikes were far superior to the Japanese bikes, the WRs were the gold std in the 80s as much as I liked the Japanese bikes in Enduro those same engineers knew what real performance was. I am pretty sure also that Husaberg may have been the first GP World Title winner on a 4t since the 60s I am not 100% sure of the period but in modern era of that time the 90s 2t ruled, that said it was lack of development in the 500cc class that ultimately hurt the 2stroke not which technologies is better, but still an amazing vision, company and achievement, Joël Smets was also an amazing open class rider. Another subject really but it highlights what a Husaberg did, something that really frustrates me with the Japanese they lack vision, great copiers and often improve things or they did, but not in the 4 t era, it’s ironic to me Honda believe they are the fourstrokes masters and maybe in road they have been, I am not so good in road bikes knowledge wise, but off road the Europeans have lead 4t era, while Honda shined brightest in the 2t era. Yet actually they never wanted to make 2t. They have some dedicated 2t engineers or did and some of the best. But really everything we have now in the 4t era Husaberg we’re developing ore 2009 which is amazing to me.

[@lassivaatamoinen5468]

@8:58 yep, the air filter is easy to get to. But getting to the throttle body and other engine stuff, you need to tear down half the bike, which is unfortunate. It was around twenty bolts or so. Compared to a modern Husky, where you need to take out 7 bolts and you can start working on the engine in 10 minutes.

[@kulafachi9571]

Some yellow riding gear would look sweet on that bike! Can't wait for you to take her out on the trails. You should take a trip to Northern California Forrest and do some riding!

[@dirtniron]

I would love to ride different places, wish I have more time, I guess once kids get little older ;)

[@williamrae9954]

First thing i learned(and i would have been killed,for not my brand new AGV helmet), is the front is so skittish at speed...i came off flat out after hitting a compression on a farm track,i lay unconscious for i don't know how long,the engine was cool when i found my feet! Going over fallen trees,is far easier,tends to hit you in the face at first,compared to other bikes! FE390,and i love it!

[@dirtniron]

sounds scary William, glad you are ok! thanks for sharing

[@peteschiavoni5069]

Really looking forward to your first ride/review!! Enjoy that amazing bike!!

[@dirtniron]

thanks Pete! coming soon!

[@clintonlied]

The summer going into my senior year of highschool, I bought a brand new 2003 Husaberg Fe400E in the crate for $3200. The previous year, my father bought a brand new in crate 2002 Fe470E.

[@dirtniron]

right on! you did pretty good in high school ;)

[@clintonlied]

@@dirtniron Thank you, Rado. The weird thing is that I hated the four-strokes from the second I bought it. The following traits were what I did not care for: 1.) It always felt too planted to the ground. Many people like this trait, but in Michigan single track where the sand changes depending on how God feels that day, I did not care for it. 2.) I would lose track of which gear I was in. I am very much a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear rider, but the four strokes exhaust note was something new to me. I was used to small 125-220cc two-strokes where you are always very aware of what gear you are in. 3.) Husabergs until the 2009-2011 models came out had a little stink bug feel to them. This is also true about many other European brands though. I feel like 25mm cut out of the subframe would have helped. Not everyone could notice this feeling, but as a person that is 5'6", I am always greatly aware of where the seat is. During COVID, I bought a 2001 KTM 200EXC for $1000 and essentially copied your 250sx/300 build. The only real difference between our builds is that I upgraded my forks to 2019 WP AER48s that were from the Alta factory when they liquidated during their bankruptcy. I also updated my PDS shock to a 2007 250sx-f 5018 assembly because Jeremy Wilkey with MX-Tech said that was the best year for the PDS internals. Oh, and I completed the conversion for it to look like a 2004.

[@joaomiguelsoares1650]

You forgot to say that the filter position also allows to go deeper in the water because of it's position!

[@joeyjames223]

Awesome to see such a unique bike on the channel! Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy watching your videos!!

thanks Joseph ;)

[@zrkn1]

Very nice, I wish other companies would get it together. Congratulations from Northern Arizona, the land of dirt bike riding. Peace

[@dirtniron]

yes, I wish other companies can follow what works good..

[@mojaveadv7135]

That's pretty awesome, there are so many KTM alternatives out there. Imagine all those bikes just sitting there waiting to be taken home.

[@squirtsomedirt3161]

Its hardly a KTM alternative if KTM is still the parent company supplying all the parts.

[@mojaveadv7135]

Sure it is, KTM may be the parent company but the bike doesn't appear to be a re-badged KTM.

[@Chalz108]

Sherco makes excellent bikes.

[@xterrential]

What year again? The fact that it is a ktm motor is a relief for maintenance. Old berg motors are a nightmare to find parts for.

[@dirtniron]

this is 2010, made in Austria.. should not be a problem to find parts

[@Danger_mouse]

In in my opinion, the hostile takeover of Husqvana and the dumping of Husaberg was a nasty, aggressive business decision by the Orange monster. Fantastic for their company sales simply by adding Husqvana stickers to their existing KTM models, but it alienated faithful fans of two brands who bought them BECAUSE they were different from the Austrian company. This previous Husqvana owner now has a Sherco, and I love it 👌

[@dirtniron]

yes, would have been better for us to have more to choose from

[@Danger_mouse]

Dirt N Iron My thoughts exactly. Not all was lost, I'm in love with the French replacement.

[@maverick2242]

Really happy for you mate, that’s an awesome bike, not being a die hard 4t guy, the Husaberg always struck a cord with me, there is almost something magical about this brand and these model 70 deg engine visions in particular, things which only a few companies are starting to incorporate now, which shows how far ahead of they’re time they were, Yamaha cooked there air box design I guess, some new coming with out a kickstarter, Beta, Sherco quick release seats etc etc list goes on. Amazing bikes and I am a die hard 2 pt guy that’s how much they impress me. The fact they thought outside the box but executed the design so well as you say is a credit to what was the Husaberg division and engineers. They also have a great sound so thanks for sharing that too just awesome Also this is one of your best vids to date imo, really enjoyed this and informative but in a great natural but very professional way cheers. Looking forward to your videos with this bike in the coming future Rado, happy and safe trails.🤙

[@dirtniron]

thanks brother, really appreciate the comment. Let me know if there is anything else you know about these bikes, always ready to learn something new ;) one thing I found out and forgot to mention on the video is that KTM's slogan "ready to race" was original slogan of Husaberg, when they bought them in 95 they adopted the slogan and Husaberg changed their into "4 stroke force" and then into "pure enduro" I always liked "ready to race" slogan, interesting to learn where it came from ;)

[@maverick2242]

Dirt N Iron no worries mate, cheers I actually didn’t know that really the RR slogan, awesome 👍

[@BruceBusby]

The FE 390, 450 and 570 are the cross country bikes. They have the 18 inch rear wheel. The FX 450 is the motocross and endurocross version.

[@dirtniron]

yes, FX is slightly different.. you wanted to say 18 inch, right?

[@MrCyphermonkey]

No, FE are the enduro bikes. Fx were the xc bikes, stiffer suspension, no lights slightly livelier engine. There were no Mx bikes.

[@dirtniron]

yes, FX is like KTM XC equivalent

Dirt N Iron 450. They must be very reliable, KTM World has had one there as a rental for several years. The gearbox was noisy like a KTM, but it ran great and shifted fine.

[@dirtniron]

sounds good Matt, that makes me very happy ;) my bike appears to have low hours and very decent riding, mostly family trips with kids.. so not really high rpm rippin.. I hope for couple hundreds hours without the rebuild. Thats like 2-3 years of decent riding.

One question that is hanging in my mind...with the "laid down" cylinder, the vibration caused by the piston movement is in a different direction/plane than a vertical-travel piston. Do you notice a difference in vibration characteristics compared to the "traditional" KTM motor?

it can do MX track no problem but you would need to play with the suspension in order to take bigger jumps.. also the gearbox is not the best for MX.. if you only ride MX maybe consider getting straight MX bike, it would make more sense

[@jonny4182]

Dirt N Iron nice man I'm stationed here in san diego.

[@dirtniron]

do you ride here ? there are couple navy guys from San Diego who ride with me sometimes

[@jonny4182]

Dirt N Iron Yes sir I do ride however I do not currently own a dirt bike since I sold mine when I moved out here from Virginia but I am looking into getting another one for myself and a starter bike for my son when I have the funding. Unfortunately that may be a little while since I retire from the military this month and will be going to school full time. But when my brother comes from Germany we will sometimes go rent one for the day.

[@jonny4182]

Also let me know if you guys ever need anything while I don't have a bike yet I do have a jeep and a drone plus tools lol

[@marklokken1378]

I understand the engineers were losing their jobs. Husky was leaving Sweden. So They started Husaberg. Their home village.

[@dirtniron]

Yes something like that. The name of village or town was Husaberg, hence the name. Pretty cool story ;)

[@marklokken1378]

Dirt N Iron I’ll refer you to Tom Webb and Karel Kramer of dirt rider fame. Tom ride a Husaberg. Claiming the right as being the editor of dirt rider magazine. Karel Kramer had the story....geeez that was a while back

[@burnout9069]

There was a bit more to there story. The frame engineer raced him self. He asked the engine engineer if he could build him a motor, which he excepted. Parts were sourced to complete the bike. But... The upon turning up to a main race. They couldn't race with out a manufacturer name. And Husaberg was born. A third member was brought in, and the company was born. In short.

[@ballzack4866]

[@keithtarrier4558]

[@dirtniron]

[@RAD_Family]

These bikes remind me of how Ducati does there engines, L twin motor.

[@dirtniron]

exactly, its similar design

[@aaronbright5028]

They moved it back but they also moved it up

[@dirtniron]

Yes, it gets heavier when you need to lift the bike from laying on the side. That doesn't happen too often though
