Husqvarna
Motorcycles – highly dynamic motorcycles not only off the road, but also – in the form of the
Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R – for the road.
Husqvarna
Motorcycles is an international manufacturer of offroad and onroad motorcycles,
originally founded in Sweden. The company joined the BMW Group in 2007 and has
since been profiting from a dynamic and sustained boost to its innovative
power.
Today,
Husqvarna Motorcycles is headquartered in the North Italian town of Cassinetta
di Biandronno in the Varese province and can look back on over one hundred
years of traditional motorcycle building. This makes Husqvarna Motorcycles the
world’s oldest motorcycle maker with an unbroken history of production, which
has turned out a large number of championship winners.
For
instance, the history of Husqvarna Motorcycles has recorded huge successes
in international offroad racing, reaping eighty two championship titles to
date. Husqvarna Motorcycles could also celebrate road racing victories in the
twenties and thirties. It was therefore only logical to supplement its present
model range with dynamic, sporty motorcycles for onroad riding.
Developed
jointly with BMW Motorrad, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 and Husqvarna Nuda 900R
models helped Husqvarna Motorcycles to make its comeback on the onroad
motorcycle segment in 2011. Presenting the purist, sporty design language so
characteristic of Husqvarna Motorcycles, these two crossover bikes form the
dynamic riding bridge between the Supermoto and the naked bike, defying all
attempts at categorisation.
Besides
their daring, vital visual appeal, they also offer a sporty, dynamic riding
experience where agility and performance enter into a harmonious union. As soon
as they arrived, their dynamic riding properties were howered with praises
from the trade press.
In
just a short time, the list of their awards grew to a considerable size. For
example, the Husqvarna Nuda 900R received the 2012 red dot award “best of the
best”. The red dot award was established in 1955 and has since ranked among the
world’s most significant awards on the sector of product design.
Not
only that, the two Nuda models also won the favour of many MOTORRAD readers in
the magazine’s 2012 Reader Awards, when they took their place on the winner’s
rostrum in the Supermoto/Enduro categories. Last but not least,initial sales
figures verify that the Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R meet the taste of many active riding
motorcycle fans.
The Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R are now available with optional
ABS for even greater braking safety.
Husqvarna
Motorcycles has now made further optimisations to its Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R,
and will be fitting the optional safety feature ABS ex works to these purist,
road ready sports bikes weighing only 195 kg each. Yet the Nuda 900 and Nuda
900R continue to rely on their established engineering basis. Their
drive remains unchanged as a refined version of the BMW F 800 R two cylinder
engine, delivering 77 kW (105 hp) at 8500 rpm and a max torque of 100 Nm at
7000 rpm.
The
suspension for the Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R is fitted on a torsionally rigid and
lightweight tubular space frame of steel that integrates the engine as an
additional supporting element. High quality suspension elements (the
Nuda 900R features a fully configurable Öhlins rear spring strut with
height adjustment) will thrill the more sportier riders, especially over
snaking country roads. Powerful brakes bring the vehicle relentlessly to a firm
stop.
Both
models are fitted with brake callipers in a radial arrangement over the front
wheel. The Nuda 900 features a Brembo four piston braking calliper bolted in a
radial arrangement and 320 mm brake discs operating with sintered pads. In line
with its great sporting claims, the Nuda 900R is fitted with Brembo monobloc
callipers. The rear wheel brake in both models takes the form of a 265 mm brake
disc and a Brembo two piston braking calliper.
From
the autumn of 2012, the Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R can also be ordered with ABS as
an option fitted ex works. This is the most modern dual channel ABS on the
market, the new Bosch 9MP.
With
a system weight of about one kilogram, this ABS generation is especially
lightweight and highly compact to boot. This system features valves with linear
adjustments for the best possible response. The latest generation of wheel
sensors with forty eight teeth monitor automatically the distance between the
sensor and the sensor wheel.
In
addition, a pressure sensor determines the brake pressure on the front wheel
for regulating the rear wheel lift detection. When the rider wishes this, in
particular for special challenges like the race track, he can disengage the ABS
system.
