Husqvarna FE 501 vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Husqvarna FE 501 (2025) and the Yamaha NMAX 125 (2025) 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 Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: no data versus 58.3 hp/ton.

In the simulation the Husqvarna FE 501 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.06 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Husqvarna FE 501 is quicker by 16.27 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 18.5 m for the Husqvarna FE 501 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Yamaha NMAX 125 stops 0.6 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 158 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 99 km/h (GPS measurement).

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 Yamaha NMAX 125. 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.
