Husqvarna astounds Milan showgoers with MOAB concept

Husqvarna made major waves at the Milan Motorcycle Show with its gorgeous MOAB concept bike.

Named after the famous Utah desert where motocross nuts converge each year, the MOAB harks back to the ‘60s and ‘70s when the motocross was in its infancy and known simply as a “dirt bike.”

This Scrambler pays tribute to the famous H400 immortalized by Steve McQueen, proudly displaying its yellow side panel number holders, red fuel tank and spacious seat.

The nostalgic touches are interspersed among modern features that include a 650-cc single-cylinder engine on a perimeter frame, Brembo brakes and a digital instrument cluster.

The package is complemented by direct references to today’s Huskies, such as concave front and rear mudguards and a front number holder.
