Overview

Introducing the 2013 Husqvarna SM50, a pint-sized powerhouse that captures the spirit of sport riding in a compact, agile frame. Positioned as a minibike-sport, the SM50 is the ideal machine for young riders and those looking to hone their skills on the track or the streets. With a striking design featuring the iconic Husqvarna colors of white, black, and red, this motorcycle isn’t just a mode of transportation; it's a statement of style and performance. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider seeking a fun and lightweight bike, the SM50 offers an exhilarating experience that’s hard to match in its category. At the heart of the SM50 lies a spirited 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, engineered to deliver impressive power while keeping the ride nimble and responsive. The 7.1:1 compression ratio and a bore and stroke of 39.5 x 40.0 mm ensure that every twist of the throttle results in a thrilling burst of acceleration. The Dell´Orto PHBG 19 carburettor optimizes fuel delivery for smooth operation, while the electronic C.D.I. ignition system guarantees quick starts and reliable performance. Riders will appreciate the liquid cooling system that maintains optimal temperatures, allowing for consistent performance during extended rides. The dry, centrifugal clutch paired with a chain final drive enhances the bike's agility, enabling quick shifts and a dynamic riding experience that’s both engaging and fun. The SM50 isn’t just about power; it also boasts a well-thought-out chassis and suspension system that elevates its performance. The steel single tube frame is both lightweight and sturdy, providing excellent stability while navigating corners. With a Marzocchi upside-down telescopic hydraulic fork in the front and a Sachs Progressive Soft Damp rear suspension, riders can enjoy a smooth ride over various terrains. The hydraulic disc brakes, with a 160 mm front and 140 mm rear diameter, offer robust stopping power, ensuring safety without compromising performance. With a low seat height of just 680 mm, this bike is accessible to a wide range of riders, making it an excellent choice for newcomers to the sport. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 43.4 kg (95.7 pounds), the SM50 is easy to handle, making it perfect for novice riders and those looking for a nimble ride.
  • Powerful Engine: The 49cc two-stroke engine offers exhilarating acceleration and spirited performance that keeps riders engaged and excited.
  • Advanced Suspension: With quality components from Marzocchi and Sachs, the suspension provides excellent handling and comfort, allowing for confident cornering and a smooth ride.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With only 2.7 liters (0.71 gallons) of fuel capacity, riders may find themselves refueling more often on longer rides.
  • Kick Start Only: The traditional kick start may be less convenient for some riders compared to electric start options found on other bikes.
  • Power Band Characteristics: The two-stroke engine's power delivery may require a bit of finesse, as it can be peaky, potentially challenging for absolute beginners to manage smoothly.
