2009 Husqvarna TC450

TE 450 – HUSQVARNA. The new TE 450 is an exact replica of the machine on which Antoine Meo won the latest round of the World Indoor Championships at the start of the 2008 season and that he has been using to compete in the Enduro World Championship Series.

Fitted with a lighter, more manageable frame, the 450 has had the same technical modifications as all the 2009 TE models: wave type brake discs, new swing arm calibration, new Sachs shock absorber and a new look with colour coded graphics and now a more compact, lighter headlamp unit.
The engine has a new oil pressure relief valve in the lubrication circuit, new lubrication roller bearings and a new oil filter. The exhaust valves are made of steel to ensure longer life and reliability. The gearbox has been updated to offer improved gear change speed and accuracy.

Gearbox design has seen changes in terms of: gear change linkage, lever and selector mechanisms. The 450 engine has also benefited from a new timing gear chain tensioner that was introduced to improve chain tension and reduce contact pressure. Thanks to this new design, component durability has been extended.

2009 sees the TC450 receive an updated frame with revised rigidity for improved rider feedback and internal engine updates aimed at improving gear shifting and general durability. The frame is also 1kg lighter than 2008. The full titanium exhaust system has been redesigned to deliver a more progressive power curve, front and rear suspension settings have been revised based on factory test rider feedback and the bike now has wavy brake discs front & rear.
