Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2012 Husaberg FE 390, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad category that combines Swedish engineering excellence with the thrill of rugged terrain exploration. Designed for the avid off-road rider, the FE 390 strikes a fine balance between performance and agility, making it an attractive option for both seasoned adventurers and budding enthusiasts. With its robust build and innovative features, Husaberg has crafted a machine that delivers both power and precision, ensuring that riders can tackle the most challenging trails with confidence. At the heart of the FE 390 lies a potent single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 393.30 ccm, delivering exhilarating performance on demand. With a compression ratio of 11.1:1, this engine maximizes power output while maintaining smooth operation. The liquid-cooled Keihin EFI fuel system ensures optimal fuel delivery, enhancing throttle response and efficiency across a variety of conditions. Thanks to the 6-speed gearbox, riders can effortlessly navigate through tight trails or open fields, while the hydraulic wet multi-disc clutch offers a seamless engagement that enhances control and rideability. With a weight of just 114 kg (251.3 pounds), the FE 390 feels agile and responsive, allowing riders to maneuver through obstacles with ease. What sets the 2012 FE 390 apart is its advanced chassis and suspension setup. The double cradle perimeter frame, constructed from 25CrMo4 steel, is complemented by a cross-linked polyethylene subframe, boosting durability without sacrificing weight. The WP-USD front suspension with 48 mm closed cartridge offers an impressive 300 mm of travel, while the rear WP-PDS shock absorber provides 335 mm of travel, ensuring that the bike can absorb the harshest bumps and dips in the terrain. Additionally, the bike's generous ground clearance of 390 mm (15.4 inches) and the electric starter make it a user-friendly option for both competitive riders and trail enthusiasts alike. **
