Husqvarna FE 501 vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500

The Husqvarna FE 501 (2025) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (2026) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Husqvarna FE 501 is a enduro bike with 511 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: no data versus 178.4 hp/ton.

In the simulation the Husqvarna FE 501 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.06 s and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 in 4.66 s; the Husqvarna FE 501 is quicker by 0.60 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 51.5 m for the Husqvarna FE 501 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 stops 6.8 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 158 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 163 km/h (manufacturer claim).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Husqvarna FE 501 and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
