Whether you're a seasoned off-road veteran or a newcomer eager to explore the wild, this bike promises to deliver the excitement and reliability that Husaberg is known for. At the heart of the FE 390 is a robust 393.30 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, boasting a commendable compression ratio of 11.1:1. The engine's design emphasizes efficiency and power, utilizing a state-of-the-art Keihin EFI fuel system that combines performance with fuel economy.

The liquid cooling system ensures optimal engine performance even during prolonged rides, allowing you to conquer climbs and navigate rocky paths with confidence. The FE 390 is not just about raw power; it is equipped with advanced technology and features that enhance the riding experience. The double cradle perimeter frame, crafted from 25CrMo4 steel, provides exceptional rigidity and stability, while the cross-linked polyethylene subframe keeps the bike lightweight yet durable. The WP-USD front suspension with 300 mm of travel and the WP-PDS rear shock absorber with 335 mm of travel ensure that riders benefit from superior handling and comfort over rough terrain. Coupled with a ground clearance of 390 mm and an adjustable seat height of 985 mm, this motorcycle caters to a wide range of riders, making it user-friendly and adaptable. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: Lightweight design at 114 kg enhances maneuverability and control on various terrains.
  • Powerful Performance: The 393.30 ccm engine delivers impressive torque and acceleration, making steep climbs and tricky descents manageable.
  • High-Quality Suspension: Advanced WP suspension components provide excellent shock absorption and stability, ensuring a smooth ride over bumps and obstacles.

Cons

  • Seat Height: The relatively tall seat height may pose a challenge for shorter riders, limiting accessibility.
  • Fuel Capacity: With an 8.5-litre tank, long-distance riders may find the fuel range insufficient for extended adventures without planning refueling stops.
  • Niche Market: As a specialized enduro machine, the FE 390 may not appeal to riders seeking a versatile bike for everyday commuting or casual riding.
