Engineered by Husqvarna for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R utilizes a 898 cc (54.8 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 103.3 HP (75.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 115 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Nuda 900R measures 195 kg (430 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.53 HP/kg (1.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 875 mm (34.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
