The WP XPLOR-USD front suspension and WP XACT Monoshock rear suspension provide a remarkable 300 mm of travel, ensuring that the bike handles rough terrains with ease and comfort. The advanced braking system, featuring a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, delivers reliable stopping power, while the inclusion of traction control and two engine maps allows riders to tailor their riding experience to suit various conditions. With a ground clearance of 360 mm and an adjustable seat height of 950 mm, the FE 450 Heritage is crafted to accommodate a wide range of riders and riding styles. **
