2001 Husqvarna SM 570 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2001 Husqvarna SM 570 R super motard motorcycle, Husqvarna features a 576 cc (35.2 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 56 HP (40.9 kW) at 7,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.2 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.

On the scales, the SM 570 R measures 118 kg (260 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.47 HP/kg (2.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 885 mm (34.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,485 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 175 km/h (109 mph).
