Built around Husqvarna's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2012 Husqvarna TE511 relies on a 477.5 cc (29.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 59.6 mm (4.0 x 2.3 inches).
On the scales, the TE511 measures 113 kg (249 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 958 mm (37.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
