2008 Husqvarna SM 610ie Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2008 Husqvarna SM 610ie super motard motorcycle, Husqvarna relies on a 576 cc (35.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54 HP (39.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 52 Nm (38.4 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 93.8 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the SM 610ie measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.39 HP/kg (2.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,497 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
