Husqvarna X-Force Guide Bar 18″

Husqvarna X-Force Guide Bar 18″

Part Number: 582075372

The Husqvarna X-Force Guide Bar 18″  is engineered for professionals and demanding users who want a high-performance bar that’s strong, lightweight, and easy to maintain. Designed specifically to work with .325″ pitch and 1.3 mm (.050″) gauge chains, this guide bar is ideal for a wide range of Husqvarna mid-size chainsaws and excels in both forestry and property maintenance tasks.

Built from high-quality laminated steel, the X-Force bar combines strength with reduced weight, improving manoeuvrability and comfort during extended cutting sessions. Strategic material cut outs within the bar body further reduce overall weight without compromising rigidity or performance. This lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue, particularly when working overhead or for long periods.

A major advantage of the X-Force range is its sealed sprocket nose. Unlike traditional guide bars that require regular greasing, the X-Force’s maintenance-free nose uses a sealed bearing system that resists dirt ingress and reduces friction at the bar tip. This enhances chain movement and prolongs both bar and chain life. The bar also features a reinforced nose and wider bearing surfaces, which improve wear resistance and durability during high-speed or high-load cutting.

The bar’s epoxy coating protects against corrosion, moisture, and resin build-up, making it suitable for harsh outdoor environments. It’s also designed to optimize performance with Husqvarna’s X-Cut chains, offering a smoother, more efficient cut with reduced vibration and kickback.

With 72 drive links and a pixel narrow-kerf design, the bar delivers excellent cutting efficiency while requiring less power, making it especially well-suited to modern fuel- and battery-efficient chainsaws.
