Description
The Excel Takasago aluminum alloy rim is the benchmark in off-road racing rim technology. Every Excel MX rim is engineered and designed to perform in extreme hostile environments where other rims routinely fail. In fact, Excel has won more Motocross and off-road championships - worldwide - than all competitors combined! Part of the secret is in our exclusive 7000 series aluminum alloy which has a 50% higher yield strength than our competitor's 6 series aluminum. Also, exclusive know- how in extrusion design, complex multi-step forming, advanced robotics welding, and in hard anodizing such a tough and complex material is key to Excel's strength and world market dominance. They are the choice of all Factory Works and Privateer Teams worldwide and the choice of OEM builders such as Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha.
FEATURES
- Anodized aluminum construction
- Available in many anodized colours as listed

Vehicle Information
Husqvarna FE 450 Dirt Bike (2014-2026)
The Husqvarna FE 450, an acclaimed enduro motorcycle, has been a staple in the off-road segment from 2014 to 2026. Throughout these years, it has maintained a consistent engine displacement of approximately 449.3 cc or 449.9 cc, often rounded to 450cc. While typically offered as a single model without distinct trims, the FE 450 has undergone significant generational changes and annual updates to enhance performance and rider experience. Key redesigns include a major overhaul in 2017, making the engine lighter and more compact, alongside chassis improvements. Further extensive updates followed in 2020, refining the engine, frame, and suspension. A comprehensive redesign in 2024 introduced a new engine with improved power delivery, a new chassis, enhanced WP suspension, and advanced electronics like a quickshifter. The 2025 model brought further refinements and introduced a special "Heritage" edition, with the 2026 model continuing this evolution. These updates ensure the FE 450 remains at the forefront of enduro performance. FAQ:
