TE 449/TE 511
The single piece side panel runs from where traditionally the fuel tank would be, all the way back to the rear mudguard, allowing the rider free and unhindered movement. The long seat, which runs from the rear mudguard to the steering head, offers completely free longitudinal movement.
Again, continuing the theme of mass centralisation, the two part fuel tank design provides a total of 8.5 litres capacity in a low mounted 2 litre pump housing and a 6,5 litre under seat main tank. The air filter box has an elongated intake manifold and a newly designed air intake to provide greater breathability for the sponge filter, which is easily removed thanks to a hinge system in the airbox.
Husqvarna, a motorcycle brand with a strong heritage to dirt bikes, has designed the 2011 TE 511 through a commitment of ongoing research in development in the off-road sector of riding.
The TE 511 utilitzes the newest technology in its engine, chassis, suspension and brakes. The enduro motorcycle also has a newly refined design, the most impressive being the singe-piece side panel that runs form the rear mudguard to where the fuel tank would traditionally be positioned.
Here's a list of improvements on the TE 511 from Husqvarna:
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 final drive on the bikes handling.
This solution allows a longer swing arm whilst still retaining a wheelbase similar to our competitors, ensuing greater traction, which for Enduro means tangible advantages.

Engine Performance
The TE 511 is equipped with a cutting-edge 4 valve dual camshaft engine which has been significantly improved thanks to the experience gained by Husqvarna in its many years of offroad racing.
Fuel delivery is managed by an electronic injection system with a Keihin 46 mm diameter, double flap throttle body which provides progressive and predictable throttle response. The TE 511 version has been achieved by increasing the cylinder bore from 98 mm to 101 mm, with the stroke remaining at 59.6 mm. Handling
Naturally, Husqvarna's long experience in Enduro racing has played an important part in the development of these new motorcycles. The perimeter design chassis is made of high strength steel tubing. The geometry of the rear suspension is revolutionary, with a new linkage mounted on top of the alloy swing arm.
This solution offers many advantages: it increases the ground clearance, improves general reliability thanks to the reduced exposure of the components and makes maintenance easier.
Coaxial Traction System
A real refinement in the field of chassis design and exclusive to the TE 511 is the CTS, the Coaxial Traction System. The advantages of the CTS system compared to the traditional systems are huge. The tension of the chain remains constant regardless of the swing arm position, while the chain and sprockets benefit from reduced wear. The tapered diameter handlebars, original equipment hand protectors, compact and efficient instrumentation, shockproof plastic engine / chassis guards, rear mudguard with incorporated racing number plate holder and led rear light complete the fittings.
The TE511 and its brothers are also the sole standard enduro bike on the market equipped with full Akrapovic exhaust system.

The crux of this concept is the union of the rear wheel swing arm pivot point and the gearbox output shaft sprocket.

Fuel delivery is managed by an electronic injection system with a Keihin 46 mm diameter, double flap throttle body which provides progressive and predictable throttle response. All components are top of the range - the bike even comes with two exhaust silencers: the Euro 3 compliant silencer fitted as standard and a steel Akrapovic Racing exhaust, developed in collaboration with the Slovenian company to maximise the potential of the engine, whilst minimising the weight.

TE449/511 are also the sole standard enduro bike on the market equipped with full Akrapovic exhaust system.
The electronic injection system still uses a 46mm Keihin throttle body but is fitted with a single flap instead of the Enduro twin flap version to provide a sharper, more aggressive throttle response. The suspension is provided by Kayaba with multi adjustable sealed cartridge front forks matched to a Kayaba fully adjustable rear shock.
