Husqvarna FE 501/S (2016 – 2017)

Husqvarna FE 501/S (2016 - 2017)

The Husqvarna FE 501/S for 2016 and 2017 boasts an engine that’s more powerful than you’ll ever be able to use, yet smooth and confidence-inspiring enough to try.

The new 510.4cc power plant is the most powerful in the Husqvarna enduro line-up, with class-leading electronics to adjust its delivery.

The single overhead camshaft (SOHC) cylinder-head is designed for maximum performance with minimum weight, and a new camshaft actuates four lightweight valves, while more streamlined chain guides increase efficiency and performance.

The new compact crankshaft increases inertia without increasing weight, while the new big-end bearing design increases reliability and durability, for long service intervals of 135 hours.

The Husqvarna FE 501/S is a machine that embodies the brand’s pioneering spirit, redesigned from the ground up for 2017 and featuring the most advanced technology. With a new design, reduced weight, best-in-class handling, and dynamic ergonomics, it’s the ideal blend of functionality and Swedish-inspired style.
