The latest technology and premium components ensure the FE 501 Heritage model offers a riding experience like nothing else. Advanced electronics tame the most powerful engine in the enduro line-up with the shaft arrangements positioned at the ideal centre of gravity to vastly benefit manoeuvrability. Riding comfort and agility is further enhanced by the perfectly balanced chassis and plush WP XACT suspension. Expertly assembled with high-quality components throughout, the FE 501 Heritage machine is finished with functional bodywork adorned with distinctive new graphics exclusive to the Heritage range.
Features may include:
Progressive performanceThe FE 501s engine benefits from advanced engineering techniques to deliver maximum performance. The engine is tilted two degrees backwards for significantly improved anti-squat behavior from the chassis, which further aids the centralization of mass for exceptional overall handling. Servicing the FE 501s engine was a key focus during the design process with the addition of service markers on the engine cases to simplify maintenance. The 4-stroke engine produces a considerable amount of power making it the ideal dual-sport companion.
State of the art chassisThe proven chromium molybdenum steel frame is refined for 2024. A new shock mounting, which is no longer connected to the main tube, significantly improves the anti-squat behavior of the chassis. With optimized wall thickness in high-stress areas improving reliability, the frame continues to offer advanced geometries and flex characteristics aimed at providing unparalleled rider feedback, energy absorption, and straight-line stability. The frame is complete with a premium metallic blue powder coating with redesigned standard frame protectors offering improved grip in all conditions. Additionally, the redesigned and robust skid plate offers exceptional frame and engine protection.
Innovative advantageEach of Husqvarna Motorcycles' enduro machines are now equipped with WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks. Designed and developed for the rigours of enduro riding, the forks offer consistent performance thanks to the closed cartridge spring design, which optimises oil flow and prevents it from foaming. The addition of a new hydrostop, effective in the last 68 mm of travel, is highly effective on heavy landings to maintain maximum forward momentum. Additionally, riders can alter the compression and rebound settings quickly and easily using the tool free adjusters found at the top and bottom of each fork leg.
Technology advancedThe black-anodized, CNC-machined triple clamps offer premium quality as standard on all Husqvarna enduro models. They have a carefully calculated 22 mm offset and are designed to provide the perfect harmony between the frame dynamics and fork settings. Expertly crafted using superior techniques and materials, they provide the highest levels of quality and reliability. The redesigned handlebar clamp has a larger contact area with the ProTaper bars for reduced twisting in the event of a crash, and offers two mounting options for customisable ergonomics.
