The latest technology and premium components ensure the FE 501 offers a riding experience like nothing else. Advanced electronics tame the most powerful machine in the enduro line-up with the FE 501 delivering a broad spread of controllable power. Inside the engine, the shaft arrangements are positioned at the ideal centre of gravity to vastly benefit manoeuvrability, which is complemented further by the perfectly balanced chassis and WP XACT suspension. Expertly assembled with high-quality components throughout, the FE 501 is finished with functional bodywork adorned with new graphics inspired by the Swedish heritage of the brand.
Adorned with clean, Swedish-inspired graphics, the bodywork is designed to allow riders to perform at their best for extended periods of time. A flat seat profile offers unrestricted movement with a new, high grip cover ensuring riders stay firmly in place under hard acceleration. Above the side panels, recessed pockets allow for the machine to be lifted and moved, which is particularly beneficial for those competing in extreme enduro events.
A proven chromium molybdenum steel frame ensures straight-line stability at speed without sacrificing agility through the slow and technical sections. Optimised wall thickness throughout the chassis aids durability, in addition to providing unparalleled rider feedback and energy absorption. For an optimised level of anti-squat behaviour and overall chassis balance, the shock is not directly connected to the main tube. The frame is complete with a premium metallic blue powder coating with frame protectors offering improved grip in all conditions.
The FE 501 engine is the most powerful model in the Husqvarna Motorcycles FE line-up snd benefits from advanced engineering techniques to deliver maximum performance. The engine is positioned in the frame to assist with the anti-squat behaviour of the chassis while also helping to centralise mass. Lightweight at just 29.5 kg, the 4-stroke engine is also powerful with a peak output of 64 hp.
Designed and developed for the rigours of enduro riding, the WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks offer consistent performance thanks to an innovative internal design that optimises oil flow and prevents oil from foaming. The hydrostop, effective in the last 68 mm of travel, is highly advantageous when landing heavily as it helps to maintain forward momentum. Additionally, riders can alter the compression and rebound settings quickly and easily using the tool-free adjusters found at the top and bottom of each fork leg.
The lightweight WP XACT rear shock offers 300mm of travel. With the rebound and both high and low speed compression adjustable by hand, setting changed can be achieved quickly and easily without tools. Complete with a CFD optimised shock piston, low friction seals, and a new, smaller linkage bolt to reduce weight consistent damping, comfort, and traction is guaranteed.
