Gymkhana

Two-wheeled Edition

Even if you’re not a four-wheel fan, you’ve probably seen the incredible skills Ken Block has in a car—his wildly popular Gymkhana videos are basically drifting on steroids. The Husqvarna 501, meanwhile, is a bike that I’ve spent many hours on across the Mojave Desert of Southern California. What I have not done is ride the 501 on a motocross track like Ken has been doing with his personal build. Some of the most fun two-wheeled machines I’ve tested are the ones that can handle motocross one day and trail riding the next. Between Husqvarna and Matt Jory at Proven Moto, the Husqvarna 501 seems to be the perfect fit for the do-it-all Ken Block.
