On December 14, 2023, Husqvarna Motorcycles announced the 2024 FC 450 Rockstar Edition. For this year, the 2024 FC 250 Rockstar Edition will also join the team.
In addition to the usual top-of-the-line components found beneath the Rockstar Edition graphics, the 2024 FC 250 and 450 Rockstar Editions also receive completely new frames with reduced frame stiffness to enhance cornering characteristics and improve rider comfort. To complement these new frames, they have also received suspension adjustments to better suit the new frames and enhance their riding characteristics.
Husqvarna seems to be more excited about the new Connectivity Unit Offroad module, which can be seen installed on the front fork, just behind the license plate. It is very well hidden, but it offers riders a new world of engine mapping, both preset and customizable, once connected to the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles smartphone app. It is available for iOS and Android to cater to a wide range of riders and their mobile preferences.
Other settings that drivers can deal with include traction control, engine brake, launch control, and even gear lever sensitivity. The application also offers recommendations for suspension settings based on the circuit’s characteristics.

There is also a GPS sensor to record the driver’s training sessions for future analysis. Having greater access to personal performance data can be incredibly useful when trying to improve lap times on the track.
Other top features in the 2024 editions of the FC 250 and FC 450 Rockstar include Brembo hydraulic clutches and brakes, 48 mm WP Xact front forks with AER technology, WP Xact rear shocks, a multifunctional map switch to control QuickShift/TC/LC, an FMF Racing Factory 4.1 silencer, black Excel Takasago rims, triple clamps with adjustable offset, 2K carbon composite non-slip plate and front brake disc protection, Factory Racing holeshot device, ODI lock-on soft grips, GUTS Factory high-grip seat cover, ProTaper handlebar and pad. Last but not least, the FC 250 and FC 450 Rockstar Editions are both equipped with lightweight 2.0 ampere-hour lithium-ion batteries.
