Why buy the FC 350 from Empire
The unique middle ground — the flickability of a 250 with the punch to run with 450s.
- ✓The best of both worlds. The 350 revs and handles like a 250 but pulls like a big bike — the do-it-all displacement that no Japanese maker offers.
- ✓Premium components. WP suspension, Brembo brakes, a Magura hydraulic clutch and electric start — factory-level kit as standard.
- ✓Championship pedigree. A proven, winning platform in premium Husqvarna trim — with Empire for local parts and service.
- ●Straight talk. Only the Austrians make a 350, so your real choices are the three of them: the FC 350 shares its engine and chassis with the KTM SX-F and GasGas MC-F — the GasGas cousin is essentially the same bike for less, the KTM has the biggest aftermarket, and the Japanese are cheaper and famously durable. You pay for Husqvarna’s unique airbox and subframe, styling and premium finish. If you want a 350, the GasGas MC 350F is the value pick; the Japanese make you choose a 250 or a 450 instead.
And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
