Overview

Introducing the 2017 Husqvarna 701 Enduro, a machine that stands at the crossroads of performance and versatility in the enduro-offroad category. Renowned for its exceptional handling and powerful capabilities, the 701 Enduro is engineered for enthusiasts who crave the thrill of tackling rugged terrains while also enjoying smooth rides on the street. This model showcases Husqvarna's commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with a legacy of off-road excellence, making it a top contender for riders who seek adventure, whether in the dirt or on the tarmac. At the heart of the 701 Enduro is a formidable 693cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 67 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and delivers 67 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. This robust powertrain ensures that the bike isn't just about raw numbers; it translates into exhilarating accelerations and responsive handling, especially on challenging trails. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine performing optimally, while the 6-speed gearbox, complemented by a hydraulically actuated APTC(TM) slipper clutch, provides smooth gear transitions that enhance the riding experience. Whether you're climbing steep hills or cruising through winding paths, the 701 Enduro's performance is both thrilling and confidence-inspiring. Husqvarna has equipped the 701 Enduro with a host of features designed to elevate its off-road prowess. The trellis frame, constructed from high-grade chromium-molybdenum steel, offers unparalleled rigidity while keeping the weight low, resulting in agile maneuverability. The WP suspension system, featuring 275 mm of travel at both the front and rear, absorbs bumps with ease, providing a plush ride over rough terrain. The electric starter ensures reliable starts every time, and with a fuel capacity of 13 liters, riders can venture further without frequent stops. The bike’s striking color scheme of white, blue, and yellow not only catches the eye but reflects the brand's racing heritage. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The 693cc engine delivers robust performance with excellent torque, making it a blast to ride in various conditions.
  • Agile Handling: The lightweight trellis frame and advanced suspension provide superb agility and control, enhancing the off-road experience.
  • Durability: Built with high-quality materials and components, the 701 Enduro is designed to withstand the rigors of off-road riding.

Cons

  • Seat Height: At 900 mm, the seat may be a challenge for shorter riders, affecting confidence during stops.
  • Limited Fuel Range: While the 13-liter tank suffices for many rides, it may require more frequent stops on extended trips.
  • Price Point: As a premium off-road machine, its price tag may be a barrier for entry-level riders looking for their first dual-sport motorcycle.
