What’s New? Husqvarna FE501S Changes by Year

The Husqvarna FE 501S, a dual-sport motorcycle that blends off-road capability with street legality, has evolved significantly over the years. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the key changes by year, focusing on its performance, design, and technological advancements.

2020 Model

The 2020 Husqvarna FE 501S received several notable updates, making it lighter and more powerful than previous versions. This model featured a new compact cylinder head, updated camshaft, and a new Konig piston. These changes reduced the engine’s oscillating masses, enhancing the overall responsiveness and performance. It also introduced a new chassis design that improved handling and provided a more agile feel. Additionally, the bike weighed 10 pounds less than the 2019 model, which contributed to its nimble handling both on- and off-road​.

2021 Model

For 2021, the FE 501S maintained much of the 2020’s structural improvements but focused on refining its ride experience. The power delivery was smooth, making the bike approachable for a variety of riders, though some riders noted the suspension’s softness under more aggressive riding conditions. It retained the same 511cc engine, producing around 40 horsepower, but the suspension and brakes were more tuned for trail rides and less aggressive dual-sport applications​.

The 2022 FE 501S saw subtle updates, continuing the refinement trend rather than introducing major changes. The primary focus remained on maintaining a balance between off-road capability and on-road legality, with Husqvarna ensuring the bike met stringent emissions standards while keeping its performance strong. The suspension was slightly tweaked for better performance in rougher terrain​.

2023 Model

By 2023, Husqvarna introduced new ergonomic bodywork, aimed at improving rider comfort, and continued to use WP suspension systems, albeit mismatched—an Xplor fork at the front and an Xact rear shock. This model also enhanced the electronics and added more advanced handling systems, offering an excellent ride both on technical trails and at higher speeds. The 2023 model was particularly praised for its excellent weight distribution and agility, even though it wasn’t designed as a full-on race bike​.

2024 Model

In 2024, Husqvarna rolled out more significant changes. The engine was repositioned for better mass centralization, tilted 2 degrees backward, which improved handling and anti-squat characteristics. The suspension system was upgraded, with the WP XACT rear shock developed specifically for enduro riding. New bodywork improved rider ergonomics, while the braking system was updated with a new Braktec setup and GSK discs for better stopping power. Other technological improvements included enhanced serviceability with clear service markers and a redesigned valve train that increased efficiency and durability​.

Final Thoughts

The Husqvarna FE 501S has continually evolved, with each model year bringing improvements in power, handling, and technology. Starting from the substantial changes in 2020, the bike has become lighter, more efficient, and more rider-friendly, with consistent upgrades to its suspension, engine design, and chassis.

The 2024 model marks a significant leap in terms of handling and control, making it one of the most advanced dual-sport bikes in Husqvarna’s lineup.
