Husqvarna Motorcycles have launched their line-up of Motocross and Cross-Country bikes (TC, FC & FX models) for model year 2021 with the new ‘Husqvarna Motorcycles app’ allowing track side power adjustments with your phone…

Husqvarna Motorcycles build on significant changes of the previous year model with simple mechanical changes for the 2021 TC, FC, TX and FX machines. A new mid-valve damping system to the WP XACT forks and new, low-friction linkage seals at the rear offer on the WP XACT shock plus changes to the 450 gearbox selector drum are the major mechanical detail changes alongside a new design to the graphics.

New app changes the game

The bigger news from the launch of the 2021 motocross range however is the new power and traction controlling app. The ‘Husqvarna Motorcycles app’ together with the Connectivity Unit mounted on the handlebars opens up a new era of performance tuning in off-road for Husqvarna. 

The app is easy to use and Husqvarna say, “allows for precise customisation and personalisation, while improving the overall rideability” of your bike with multiple options to adjust the power curve, traction control, throttle response, engine braking and even offer suspension set-up advice. All this via your phone. 

There are two main engine modes, Prime and Advanced, which allow riders to fine-tune their engine’s performance according to their riding requirements and track conditions.

The app and Connectivity Unit will be available from July 25, 2020 as a Technical Accessory for MY21 four stroke FC models (four stroke only). The unit will also need to be installed by an authorised Husqvarna dealer to be sure your bike has the correct firmware updates.
