Everything You Should Know About Husqvarna Motorcycles – SlashGear

The core of the brand is its enduro and motocross bikes. Those bikes start with the electric EE 3 made for children; it has a 3.8 kW electric motor than can run for about two hours on a charge. Taking a step in the opposite direction as far as technological advancement, Husqvarna still makes a two-stroke motocross bike in the form of its TC 250 Heritage. Those wanting to opt for a four-stroke can ride the FC 450 that’s powered by a single-cylinder 449 cc engine. The beefiest Husqvarna dual-sport enduro bike is the FE 501s, which sports a more than 510 cc single-cylinder powerplant that would be perfect for tearing up the dirt trail of the idyllic Scandinavian countryside or dusty back roads in Texas. That’s the beauty of a dual-sport. 

If the dirt bike aesthetic isn’t quite your thing, there’s the Norden 901 adventure bike that’s powered by a parallel-twin 889 cc powerplant. It’s also equipped with an anti-lock brake system and suspension tailor-made for long-distance rides where roads may or may not be present. The Vitpilen 401 is a bare-bones relatively inexpensive bike that offers the freedom of riding a motorcycle and exactly nothing else.

Lastly, the ultimate Husqvarna meant for mayhem is the 701 Supermoto; it is powered by a 692 cc motor with a single giant cylinder thumping away at over 8,000 rpm. On the outside, it looks a lot like a huge dirt bike, but the road tires and turn signals tell another story.
