Among
the features of the rally version is a very compact, concept-driven
package in the chassis area. This allows the optimal integration of the
twopart central/rear tank in the bike, which in turn guarantees the
rider maximum freedom of movement, Enduro-like ergonomics and perfect
balance. The Husqvarna TE449 RR has been exhibited at the EICMA Show 2012 in Milan, Italy, some time ago.
