Undergoing multiple revisions to further enhance its proven technical abilities, the FE 250 features a new engine, frame, and suspension for 2024 for improved performance. Featuring a lightweight, compact, and redesigned engine, all riders are set to benefit from the refinements with the power delivery easily customisable for a personalised riding experience. Together with a new frame and WP Suspension, the rideability and handling are much improved with the revised, ergonomic bodywork offering even greater control. Complete with a fresh, Swedish-inspired look and assembled with premium components throughout, the FE 250 is capable of competing at the highest level of enduro in standard form.
A new 81 mm bore cylinder houses a forged bridged-box-type piston made by CP. High-strength aluminium is used to manufacture both the cylinder and piston, with both components professionally engineered for outstanding performance and reliability. The stroke has been adapted to 48.5 mm to match the resized cylinder, boosting the compression ratio to 14.4:1 to add further torque and peak power to the FE 250.
The new hollow die-cast aluminium swingarm is manufactured from a single piece of aluminium using an improved casting process for optimal stiffness and a 190 g weight reduction. In order to optimise and match the flex characteristics of the new frame, a new 22 mm rear axle is fitted. Additionally, the chain guard and chain slider have been completely redesigned for improved durability with the chain guard made with a rounder profile to prevent catching on external objects.
The new Quickshifter can be activated or deactivated via the Map Select Switch. By interrupting the ignition for a fraction of a second, this allows upshifting while the throttle is fully open without the use of the clutch. To prevent unintended shifts, the function is only active from second gear upwards.
With precisely positioned inlet ducts reducing air flow deformation, the airbox ensures unrestricted airflow with maximum filter protection. The Twin Air filter is mounted onto a cage designed to offer accurate installation and can be easily accessed without tools by removing the left side panel.
