HUSQVARNA SMR 449 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the Swedish motorcycle maker released the Husqvarna SMR 449, a motorcycle in the second production year that packed the same specifications as the previous one without any modifications.

Husqvarna was a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor products, such as chainsaws, robotic lawnmowers, trimmers, brush cutters, cultivators, garden tractors, and, why not, motorcycles.

The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard fittings, such as wire-spoke wheels with road tires, a high-mounted front fender, a single headlight integrated into a small cowl, a single seat, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted high on the right-hand side, an engine bottom cover, and a dual-sided swingarm.

As for power, the 2012 Husqvarna SMR 449 had installed a 449cc four-stroke liquid-cooled one-cylinder engine at its core. A fuel injection system managed the powerhouse, which was assisted by a six-speed transmission.

The bike was made around a single-tube cradle steel frame and a light alloy rear frame. The frame housed the suspension system, which consisted of a 50 mm inverted Marzocchi adjustable telescopic fork on the front with 250 mm wheel travel and an adjustable shock on the rear with 290 mm of travel.

As for the braking power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm disc on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc on the rear wheel. The front was clamped by a four-piston caliper and the rear by a single-piston caliper.
