And it’s not a bad looking thing, with its angular quasi-supermoto styling and minimal bodywork. That seat looks very tall though, and not particularly comfortable.
Husqvarna Nuda 900R. Scroll down for more images. |
Only a few technical specs have been revealed, but Husqvarna is saying that the 900’s engine - which is derived from the 798 cc parallel twin-cylinder unit used by parent company BMW in its F 800 range of bikes - will develop over 100 horsepower (around 74 kW) and more than 100 Nm (73 lb/ft) of torque.
By comparison, the BMW F 800 models have outputs of 85 bhp (64 kW / 87 PS) and 86 Nm (63 lb/ft), so the increases seen in the Nuda 900R are in line with its extra capacity.
With a dry weight of less than 175 kg (385 lbs) being promised the Husqvarna will also be slightly lighter, whereas the similarly naked BMW F 800 R tips the scales at 177 kg (390 lbs).
The 900R’s suspension will feature an Öhlins fully adjustable shock at the rear, while up front there’s a 48 mm Sachs fork that’ll be adjustable for spring pre-load and compression / rebound damping. Front wheel braking is to be taken care of by a Brembo radially-mounted caliper with four pistons.
Pricing and launch dates for the Husqvarna Nuda 900R have yet to be confirmed.
