10 Things you need to know about the 2020 models

3. You read that right. XCF-W’s and FE’s are back! For the past few years, if you wanted to go racing on a wide-ratio transmission four stroke bike, you had to buy a street legal EXC or FE. For 2020 you can again purchase a race ready wide- ratio transmission four stroke. No remaps, choked up exhaust, mirrors, or turn signals to deal with. Ready To Race!

4. Husqvarna dual sport bikes get rebadged. For 2020 the Husqvarna street legal bikes are designated by a “S” at the end of the model name, FE350S, FE501S. This is a return to the original model designation going back to 2015 and 2016. On the KTM side, the EXC-F model designation remains the same.

5. No More 250 four stroke enduro bikes. That’s right. The EXC-F 250 is out as is the FE250 and the return of the XCF-W did not bring a 250 four stroke either. If you are looking for a race ready 250 four stroke woods weapon, the 250 XC-F is your only choice.
