Husqvarna has unveiled its 2021 motocross line-up highlighted by minor updates to the WP XACT fork and XACT shock.
The 2021 Husqvarna motocross range has improved suspension by adding a new mid-valve damping system for enhanced performance on the WP XACT fork with AER technology. Additionally, new low-friction linkage seals offer refined suspension response on the WP XACT shock for improved rider comfort.
Husky also introduced the new Husqvarna Motorcycles app. Like the feature unveiled on the 2021 KTM models earlier this year, The Husqvarna Motorcycles app together with the Connectivity Unit that needs to be mounted on the machine will be available from 25th of July 2020 onwards as a Technical Accessory for MY21 4-stroke models and the 2020 FC 450 Rockstar Edition. The app enables riders to adjust their engine mapping and gives recommendations for the optimum suspension setting.

WP XACT front fork with AER technology
The 48 mm split air fork features a capsuled air spring and pressurised oil chamber for progressive and consistent damping. Extended oil and air bypasses reduce pressure peaks and new 10 mm shorter cartridges and outer tubes provide refined rigidity. In combination with a new mid-valve damping system, the fork is designed to provide exceptional feedback and rider comfort. The setting is adjusted via the single air pressure pre-load valve, as well as through easy access click adjusters for compression and rebound. Additionally, the air pump needed to adjust the air pressure in the fork is provided as standard.
