FE 501s
The latest technology and premium components ensure the FE 501s offers a riding experience like nothing else. Advanced electronics tame the most powerful machine in the dual-sport line-up with the FE 501s 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 501s is finished with functional bodywork adorned with new graphics inspired by the Swedish heritage of the brand.

Cylinder head
The SOHC cylinder head is incredibly compact and lightweight with the camshaft positioned as close to the center of gravity as possible. A durable, fine-punched cam chain and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coated rocker arm offer optimal efficiency and reliability with a single oil spray jet providing effective cooling. Valve timings are optimized for maximum torque and a smooth power delivery.
Cylinder and piston
The lightweight aluminum cylinder is an engineering masterpiece with a 95 mm bore and a stroke of 72 mm. Inside, the forged CP bridged-box-type piston features anodized annular grooves for added durability and extended service intervals. The compression ratio remains unchanged at 12.75:1.
Engine
The FE 501’s engine is the most powerful model in the Husqvarna Motorcycles FE line-up and 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.
Crankcases
Designed to be low in weight without sacrificing strength or reliability, the crankcases are made using a high-pressure die cast production process to create a thin-wall design. To centralize engine mass, the shaft arrangements are precisely positioned to harness rotating masses at the ideal center of gravity.
Throttle body
The FE 501s features a 42 mm Keihin throttle body optimised for throttle response. The injector is positioned to ensure the most efficient flow into the combustion chamber with the throttle cable mounted directly without a linkage for an enhanced response.
Exhaust
The exhaust system is expertly designed to deliver class-leading performance at the lowest possible weight with the header pipe manufactured in two pieces. This design allows the header pipe to be removed without having to remove the rear shock. Further innovation allows for a short, compact silencer without increasing sound levels. The silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum and stylishly finished with a black coating to highlight its premium quality.
