Engineered by Husaberg for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 1996 Husaberg FE 501 Elduro pairs a 501 cc (30.6 cu in) liquid-cooled engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 50 HP (36.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.8 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 950 mm (37.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control.
