2026 Husqvarna® FE 501s

2026 Husqvarna® 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.

Features may include:

• Engine

The FE 501s 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.

• Cylinder

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.

• Frame

A proven chromium molybdenum steel frame ensures straight-line stability at speed without sacrificing agility through the slow and technical sections. Optimized wall thickness throughout the chassis aids durability, in addition to providing unparalleled rider feedback and energy absorption. For an optimized level of anti-squat behavior 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.

• Hybrid subframe

Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminum, the subframe offers exceptional strength and durability at a low overall weight of just 3.9 lb (1.8 kg). The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminum for reliability, with the upper section made from injection-molded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics.

• LED headlight

The LED headlight provides a remarkably bright light output for excellent visibility at night and is particularly effective when riding through dense woodland. A clever mounting design sees the LED lighting unit fitted inside the headlight mask using a quick-release system that allows it to be replaced quickly and easily if damaged.
