Husqvarna Nuda gets ABS

Husqvarna has announced that 2013 model year versions of its Nuda 900 and Nuda 900R will be available with optional anti-lock brakes.

The disengageable dual-channel Bosch 9MP system chosen by the firm is compact and, at around one kilo, lightweight too. It complements the existing set-up that comprises four-piston radial Brembo calipers for the front discs (which are upgraded to monobloc items for the ‘R’ version) and a two-piston Brembo caliper for the single rear disc.

Everything else about the bikes remains unchanged, and so power continues to come from a 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS) parallel-twin engine. With a capacity of 898 cc, it’s derived from the unit used in parent company BMW’s range of F Series bikes.

UK prices have yet to be confirmed.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
