2011 Husqvarna TE511 Review



HUSQVARNA TE511: A NEW

The design of the new 449/511 series outperforms other models off-road and immediately stands out for its looks, layout and exclusive technology.

Design and

The line is entirely new: slim, elegant and refined. The panel takes place one piece on the side where traditionally the fuel tank would be all the way back to the rear wing, so the rider free and unhindered movement. There is no chance of snagging boots or pants on the side panels with this design.

In addition to the aesthetic and ergonomic aspects, including the new design makes maintenance easier than the air filter, rear shock and throttle body are all easily accessible. The head of long, extending from the rear wing of the steering head, offers completely free longitudinal movement.

MASSES AND CENTER OF GRAVITY

The idea behind the TE 511 is "mass centralization" -. To keep the weight on the bike concentrated as close to the center of gravity and chassis design that fits perfectly to the demands of competitive endurance races This solution, which Husqvarna calls CTS (Coaxial Traction System) eliminates the variation in the length of the chain during rear suspension movement, minimizing the effect of the last race on the handling of bikes. This solution allows an arm longer swing, while retaining a wheelbase similar to our competitors offer better traction, which means for the Enduro tangible benefits.

The chassis design allows the modern DOHC engine to be mounted near the center of the bike, while tilting the cylinder forward also allows a process of making long and straight air at the same time as keeping the center of gravity as low as possible.

Again, continuing the theme of mass centralization, the two-piece design of the fuel tank provides a total of 8.5 liters in just two mounted pump body and a liter of 6.5 liters in the seat main tank. The layout of the tank under the seat allows the air filter box to be placed in a protected position and fluidodynamically favorable to the engine with the air intake is the real height of the steering column, in an elevated place and protected to minimize the contribution of dust or water.

Reference shows

TE 511 is equipped with advanced dual-cam 4-valve engine, which significantly improved the experience with the Husqvarna off-road racing for many years.

The train for both Enduro and MX versions have been completely changed Enduro now uses a 6-speed gearbox and ratios have been modified in the light of experience and Salminen TARKKALA races. The ignition timing has been optimized with cards that are specific to two different capacities and exhaust systems.

The clutch is hydraulic, which provides a coherent and progressive soft withgreater also under pressure.

HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE

Perimeter chassis design is tubular high-strength steel. The geometry of the rear suspension is a revolutionary new clutch fitted on top of the alloy swingarm.

This solution offers many benefits: increased ground clearance, improves reliability by reducing the overall exposure of the components and easy maintenance. But there is much more dynamic, taking advantage of the dual support tube steel frame, high strength, the roughness of the earth is absorbed more gradually, reducing the pressure on the driver.

The advantages of the jump is also a remarkable effect on the rear wheel back is significantly reduced, and the softness of the suspension is particularly noticeable on a lot rougher and more difficult.

Coaxial Drive System

An improvement in the actual area of ​​chassis design and exclusive range of TE / TC 449 / 511 is the RTC, the coaxial drive system. The advantages of CTS compared to traditional systems are huge. During the suspension movement and the race, the chain is not subject to any change in length. The chain tension remains constant regardless of the position of the rocker, while the chain and sprockets benefit from reduced wear. A significant positive effect on driving characteristics is the marked reduction in the incidence of alternating load on the transmission.

More generally, the values ​​obtained for the approval of the CTS have a much more uniform trend in all conditions, which ridability and stability of the bike.

Premium Ingredients

The TE is equipped with the most advanced new components in the Off Road. The front brake is a Brembo floating calipers and 260 mm wave rotor, while the rear brake system consists of a floating caliper operating on a 240 mm rotor.

The suspension is entrusted in its entirety experts Kayaba, with 48 mm forks, adjustable rebound and compression, and Kayaba rear shock absorber designed specifically for use with optimized settings for enduro co-Racing Team.

New Husqvarna TE 511: the perfect combination of elements to win every challenge.
