Overview
Introducing the 2022 Husqvarna FE 501s, a formidable contender in the Enduro-offroad motorcycle category that is designed for both thrill-seekers and serious off-road enthusiasts. With a price tag of US$ 11,899, this machine combines Husqvarna’s rich heritage in off-road racing with cutting-edge technology to deliver an exhilarating riding experience. Whether you're navigating rocky trails or blazing through wooded paths, the FE 501s stands out with its sleek design and robust performance, making it a top choice for riders who crave adventure. At the heart of the FE 501s is a powerful 510.4cc engine that utilizes a counterbalance shaft for smooth operation, producing an impressive compression ratio of 12.2:1. The Keihin 42mm carburettor ensures efficient fuel delivery, resulting in a remarkable fuel consumption rate of 3.62 liters per 100 km (64.98 mpg). The 6-speed gearbox provides seamless shifting, allowing riders to tackle any terrain with confidence. The bike’s lightweight frame, weighing in at just 111.8 kg (246.5 pounds), coupled with a generous ground clearance of 360 mm (14.2 inches), means that navigating obstacles and steep inclines feels effortless, providing both agility and stability on rough terrain. The FE 501s is not just about raw power; it’s packed with advanced features that enhance the riding experience. The WP XPLOR-USD front suspension and WP XACT Monoshock rear suspension both offer an impressive travel of 300 mm (11.8 inches), absorbing the harshest bumps with ease. Stopping power is delivered through robust wave disc brakes, ensuring responsive handling in any situation. An electric starter adds convenience, allowing you to hit the trails quickly, while the striking color scheme of white, grey, and yellow ensures you look good doing it. The central double-cradle steel frame enhances durability, providing a solid foundation for off-road escapades. **
