2015 Husqvarna FC450 vs KTM SX 450

[barefooter]

Any difference in snow bike application? The plastic subframe and airbox I know is different. I know I will be modding the aitbox out, but is the plastic subframe and issue in the cold?

Many thanks. Found a great deal on a holdover 2015, plus I really like the Husky plastic. And that I rode them in the Open Class in the 80's doesn't hurt from a nostalgia perspective. LOL

I picked up a FC 450... I have not heard anyone complain about strength issues on the poly-whatever subframe material. I have a 13 450 SX sitting next to it in the garage. Aside from the airbox design and a few other changes, same exact bike. Most importantly, same exact motor and trans.

It will be a great snowbike.... and I got the color matched white 16 LT coming so it'll be sexy as hell too.

Pretty much the same bike, other than a couple little things that won't affect a snow bike application. There is bigger rebates on the KTM than the Husky though. Problem is finding any now. Hopefully someone close to you has one. For me I would go Husky just for the color, love the white and blue.
