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.

And it looks very likely that Loeb and Citroën will be accomplishing both feats again this year, too. In developing the new car, Citroën Racing has had to comply with the new 2011 FIA WRC regulations. The biggest change is the shift from 2.0 litre to 1.6 litre turbocharged engines but, with an eye on costs, components such as semi-automatic gearboxes and centre differentials are now banned, while others have to comply with strict cost and weight criteria. The direct injection engines used in the DS3 WRC have been tuned to produce around 295 bhp (220 kW / 300 PS) and, under the revised rules, each one will be expected to last
