Product Details
The STIHL MS 500i is the world's first petrol chainsaw with electronic fuel injection, designed for instant acceleration, optimal engine response and efficient cutting of heavy timber.
Maximum Power. Minimum Emissions.
As the world's first chainsaw with electronic fuel injection, the STIHL MS 500i sets new standards in performance and innovation. The intelligent injection system ensures effortless starts and consistent power delivery under all conditions.
At the same time, the advanced engine STIHL 2-MIX combines raw power with reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions: the perfect balance between cutting-edge technology and sustainability.
Full Speed in an Instant.
The STIHL MS 500i develops maximum chain speed in just 0.25 seconds, delivering the acceleration professionals demand for the toughest jobs. Thanks to built-in sensors that constantly adjust fuel delivery and an easy-start system, the machine guarantees smooth operation, reliable performance and lightning-fast cuts every time.
Lightweight, Flexible, Made for Professionals.
With its excellent power-to-weight ratio, the MS 500i offers unparalleled flexibility and control, even during intensive multi-day use. Its professional features, from the tool-free fuel filler caps for quick refueling up to lock nuts on the gear cover, make operation faster, safer and more efficient.
