The latest technology, the best components, and an unrivalled riding experience. The FE 450 Heritage model offers it all. Producing a broad spread of controllable power, the engine has been designed to position all shaft arrangements at the ideal center of gravity for exceptional maneuverability. Aiding this agile feel is the chassis, which is manufactured using advanced engineering techniques to be perfectly balanced for a less fatiguing ride. Together with WP XACT suspension, enhanced comfort across rough terrain is assured. Complete with modern electronics and high-quality components, the FE 450 is finished with distinctive graphics exclusive to the Heritage model range.
ENGINE: When it comes to versatility, the DOHC 350 cc engine is second to none. By sharing much of its architecture with the 250 cc engine, the FE 350 delivers a fine balance between 450-rivaling power and lightweight 250 handling.
CYLINDER HEAD: The SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact and lightweight with the camshaft positioned as close to the center of gravity as possible. A durable, fine-punched cam chain and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated rocker arm offer optimal efficiency and reliability with a single oil spray jet providing effective cooling. Valve timings are optimized for maximum torque and a smooth power delivery.
CYLINDER AND PISTON: The lightweight aluminum cylinder is an engineering masterpiece with a 95 mm bore and a stroke of 63.40 mm. Inside, the forged CP bridged-box-type piston features anodized annular grooves for added durability and extended service intervals. The compression ratio is 12.75:1.
CRANKCASES: Designed to be low in weight without sacrificing strength or reliability, the crankcases are made using a high-pressure die cast production process to create a thin-wall design. To centralize engine mass, the shaft arrangements are precisely positioned to harness rotating masses at the ideal center of gravity.
THROTTLE BODY: The FE 450 Heritage model features a 42 mm Keihin throttle body optimized for throttle response. The injector is positioned to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber with the throttle cable mounted directly without a linkage for an enhanced response.
EXHAUST: The exhaust system is expertly designed to deliver class-leading performance at the lowest possible weight with the header pipe manufactured in two pieces. This design allows the header pipe to be taken off of the machine without needing to remove the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer without increasing sound levels. The silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum and stylishly finished with a black coating to highlight its premium quality.
FRAME: The chromium molybdenum steel frame is expertly crafted using laser-cut, robot-welded, hydro-formed tubes, ensuring the highest level of precision and quality. The specifically crafted geometry utilizes advanced longitudinal and torsional flex characteristics, for unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption and exceptional straight-line stability. The cylinder head mountings are made of forged aluminum, improving handling and comfort. The premium white powder coated frame features standard frame protectors, providing extra durability.
HYBRID SUBFRAME: Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminum, the two-piece subframe ensures exceptional strength and durability at an overall weight of just 1.8 kg. The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminum for maximum reliability. The upper section of the subframe is made from injection-molded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics and ensure a lightweight construction.
