This post comes almost 4 months since the last one but spare me because the motorcycle featured this time might just take your breath away being so radical in nature. This is the Huqsvarna Nuda 900R ......
Husqvarna calls the Nuda a ground-breaking model which to me, appears quite valid. The guys have managed to break the mold with a completely new and rather radical motorcycle that seems to be across between a supermoto and a naked bike.
Quoting an official statement from Husqvarna, "Husqvarna’s decision to offer the Nuda 900R challenges current road bike design and offers the purchaser a point of difference and the ability to stand out from the crowd in both styling and performance. In addition we see a great potential to grow in this direction, providing thrilling products incorporating true Husqvarna DNA.
This 900 combines Husqvarna's traditional sporting nature with BMW's engineering, technology and reliability. And this is just the start!
Our future road bikes will continue to have Husqvarna's DNA and, above all, its concept of riding based on pleasure, power and flexibility. The air intakes incorporated at the front of the body and the tapered tail, almost like a racing bike, highlight the unique design of this new model. The technical components, along with the engine, the trellis frame and the visible radiator are a prelude of sportiness, performance and, above all, fun." and I bet it.
At the core is the BMW's 800cc twin cylinder engine modified to increase displacement to 900cc for higher power, aggressive racing appeal along with modification to many internal components to improve performance.
The top-notch components gracing the Nuda, just like our Husqvarna racing bikes: fork from Sachs, Öhlins shock absorber (both fully adjustable), Brembo Racing brakes, and many small details in carbon fibre, sport exhaust system with an exhaust valve and much more.
2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900R Features
Looks and performance:
Combining exotic Italian design with the technical brilliance and engineering expertise of the BMW Group, this road-going Husqvarna begs to be ridden hard and is equipped with the kind of quality components that allow you to exploit and enjoy its considerable performance potential.
Unquestionably a Husqvarna, the Nuda 900 R proudly displays the company’s distinctive red and white competition colours, hinting at the impressive racing heritage that includes an enviable 79 world championship titles achieved to date – and counting...
The engine room:
The heart and soul of the Nuda 900 R is the technologically advanced parallel twin BMW F 800 R motor, increased in capacity to 900cc and adapted to Husqvarna’s specific requirements to give the Nuda even more power and torque (>100hp and 100Nm) across the rev range. Check out the red rocker box cover too – you’ll see this Husqvarna ‘stamp’ on many of our sports machines.
Extracting the maximum:
Getting the most from the Nuda 900 R is just a twist of the throttle away, backed up with a whole host of premium components and features on this exciting new machine that include:
Fully adjustable 48mm Sachs forks at the front
Öhlins rear shock
Brembo monobloc racing brakes with 320mm discs providing huge stopping power
Fuel tank under the seat for ideal weight distribution
Carbon fibre clamp, end cap and heat shield on exhaust muffler
Extremely low weight of less than 175kg
Agile at low speeds, stable at high speeds, the Nuda 900 R is designed with stylish intent and is engineered to thrill. Bold and fresh Italian styling only hint at its possibilities.
