Features
Powerful 510.9cc SOHC Four-Stroke Engine
The FE 501 is powered by a compact 510.9cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivers exceptional torque and smooth, controllable power throughout the rev range. Despite being the largest engine in the FE lineup, careful engineering keeps weight low while positioning internal components close to the centre of gravity, improving agility and reducing rider fatigue during demanding rides.
Lightweight Chromium-Molybdenum Steel Frame
A central double-cradle chromium-molybdenum steel frame provides an ideal balance of rigidity and controlled flex, creating predictable handling across a wide variety of terrain. Combined with a lightweight aluminium-reinforced polyamide subframe, the chassis offers excellent rider feedback, improved stability, and precise steering in technical enduro conditions.
WP XACT Suspension
Premium WP XACT closed-cartridge front forks are paired with a fully adjustable WP XACT rear shock using a linkage rear suspension system. Designed to deliver outstanding bump absorption and traction, the suspension package allows riders to quickly fine-tune settings for changing terrain while maintaining excellent stability and comfort throughout long rides.
Advanced Electronic Fuel Injection
A 42 mm Keihin throttle body provides precise throttle response and efficient fuel delivery under all riding conditions. The direct throttle cable design creates an immediate connection between rider input and engine performance, while the electronic management system automatically compensates for changing weather and altitude.
Lightweight SOHC Cylinder Head
The compact single overhead cam cylinder head has been designed to reduce overall engine weight while maintaining outstanding performance. Lightweight rocker arms with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings reduce friction and improve durability, contributing to smooth operation and extended service life.
Optimised Exhaust System
The lightweight exhaust system has been engineered to maximise performance while keeping weight to a minimum. A two-piece header pipe simplifies maintenance by allowing removal without disturbing the rear suspension, while the compact aluminium silencer delivers effective sound reduction without compromising power delivery.
Rider-Focused Ergonomics
Slim bodywork, a flat seat profile, and carefully shaped rider contact points allow unrestricted movement throughout the motorcycle. The ergonomic layout supports natural body positioning whether seated or standing, giving riders greater confidence and control when tackling technical sections or long-distance enduro events.
Premium Competition Components
The FE 501 comes equipped with high-quality race-developed components including ProTaper handlebars, ODI lock-on grips, Brembo hydraulic brakes and clutch, Michelin enduro tyres, and lightweight wheels. These premium parts contribute to improved durability, rider comfort, and dependable performance in demanding off-road environments.
Advanced Rider Electronics
Modern rider aids include selectable engine maps, traction control, and a Quickshifter system, allowing riders to tailor the motorcycle's performance to changing terrain and riding conditions. These electronic systems enhance traction, improve rideability, and help reduce rider fatigue during competitive events and long trail rides.
Swedish-Inspired Styling
The 2027 FE 501 features Husqvarna's distinctive white, blue, and yellow graphics inspired by the brand's Scandinavian heritage. Slim bodywork and modern styling create a clean, purposeful appearance while supporting unrestricted rider movement across challenging off-road terrain.
