Husqvarna launches 2026 FE 350S and FE 501S dual-sports in global market
These capable dual-sports have received notable upgrades for the 2026 model-year.
Husqvarna has officially unveiled the 2026 FE 350 and FE 501, two of its most popular dual-sports, and both models get a round of functional updates for the new model year.
The changes start with refreshed styling. New radiator shrouds, fork guards, graphics, and a reshaped fuel tank give the bikes a sharper look. A threaded radiator cap makes checking coolant easier, while a fresh fuel line protector adds durability. Small tweaks, but ones that should make ownership easier for riders who spend long days in the saddle.
The suspension gets more meaningful updates. The WP XACT closed-cartridge forks now feature polished springs, a new pressure reservoir, and a one-piece hydrostop that improves damping when the terrain gets rough. The rear shock gets revised compression and rebound settings, plus tool-free adjusters so riders can fine-tune suspension quickly.
Both bikes carry over proven hardware. Brembo supplies the clutch and brakes, paired with high-performance GSK discs. Continental TKC 80 tires provide reliable grip on both dirt and pavement. Frames are built from hydro-formed chromium-molybdenum steel, with lightweight aluminum-polyamide subframes. ProTaper bars, ODI grips, radiator fans, LED lighting, and a Li-ion starter battery round out the package.
As before, the FE 350 hits the sweet spot for riders looking for manageable all-day performance, while the FE 501 delivers serious torque for steep climbs and tougher terrain. Neither bike is radically different, but both have been refined in ways that improve handling, reliability, and rider confidence.
For the US market, both bikes will go on sale in fall 2025 with pricing set at $12,999, or about P740,000. Husqvarna hasn’t confirmed Philippine availability yet, but with the brand’s growing local presence, there’s a chance we’ll see them here not long after their global release.
