Of the trio of 350cc four-stroke dirt bikes Husqvarna brings to the United States in 2025, the FE 350s is least powerful and weighs the most. Why is that? It’s street-legal, which means it has extra equipment that helps it meet standards for emissions and road-going vehicles. The added emissions equipment not only detunes the FE 350s compared to the FC 350 and FX 350, but bumps up weight. A dashboard, horn, license plate, mirrors, and the extra electronics that come along with the first two items add to the FE 350s’ overall weight too.
Despite its extra poundage over its motocross and cross-country model counterparts of the same engine type and displacement, the FE 350s is one of the lightest dual sport motorcycles on the market. Add in high-performance suspension and a chassis that shares much in common with the 2023 and 2024FC 350 and FX 350, and you have a very capable dirt bike that can go just about anywhere thanks to its street-legal designation. Read on to learn more about the 2025 Husqvarna FE 350s, and why it demands a suggested retail price of $12,749.
