One of three motorcycle brands to produce a 350cc four-stroke dual sport bike in 2023, Husqvarna gave its FE 350s a complete overhaul for 2024. With 2023 marking the final year of a model generation (2020–2023) for Husqvarna’s street-legal dirt bikes, we made it a point to test the smaller-displacement version of the two (the other being the FE 501s).
Before riding and testing the FE 350s in the dirt and on the asphalt, we mounted a Dunlop D404 street tire on its rear wheel to see how much horsepower and torque it could spin when run on our in-house Dynojet 250i rear-wheel dynamometer. When all was said and done, we documented peak figures of 32.4 hp at 8,400 rpm and 20.9 lb.-ft. of torque at 7,600 rpm. How does the FE 350s engine perform outside of the dyno room? In a word, excellently.
“The fuel-injected liquid-cooled DOHC four-stroke 350cc powerplant offers great usability everywhere in the rpm range,” test rider Evan Allen said. “It provides a perfect balance of usable bottom-end snap and high-revving capability that makes all six gears extremely effective on the trail.”
