Husqvarna FE 501 2024

Overpowered? Yes, of course! But in the saddle, this also has its advantages. In many situations, you can save yourself over difficult obstacles even with the wrong gear. The 501 can cope with the lowest revs and chugs ponderously along the track when tired. Sporty pilots will probably avoid the FE 501. They will achieve better lap times with the 350 or the 2-strokes. However, the 501 is a good choice for experienced pilots who also like to ride long passages without racing stress.

Practical chassis setup for a wide range of uses

Precise lines

Low vibration level in the saddle

Robust overall appearance

Very practical details

Low weight

Great ergonomics in the saddle

Plenty of room to move on the bike

High-quality chassis

Well-tuned engine makes use of the enormous potential

Strong traction

Very pleasant and thoroughly relaxed to ride over long distances

Very great performance on steep slopes - good traction, surprisingly low wheelie tendency.

Plastics in the boot area quickly look very worn

Prices are normally always a matter of opinion - in this case, however, the whole range seems good but expensive

The recessed grip on the seat is too far forward

Stand has to be folded out a bit fiddly

In downhill sections, the motor pushes noticeably harder than the lighter models
