Overview

Introducing the 2023 Husqvarna 701 Enduro, a stunning embodiment of off-road prowess combined with cutting-edge technology. Positioned firmly within the competitive enduro-offroad category, this bike is designed for riders who demand performance in the wildest terrains. Husqvarna, a brand steeped in rich history and innovation, has crafted the 701 Enduro to appeal to both seasoned off-road veterans and those just beginning their adventure. With its striking color scheme of white, blue, and yellow, this motorcycle stands out not just visually but also in its remarkable capabilities. At the heart of the 701 Enduro lies an exhilarating single-cylinder engine that delivers a robust torque of 73.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM, ensuring a thrilling ride whether you’re scaling rocky inclines or navigating through muddy trails. The 693 cc engine, with a bore and stroke of 105.0 x 80.0 mm, is fed by a precision-engineered Keihin fuel injection system, providing stellar power delivery and responsiveness. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a hydraulically actuated slipper clutch, ensures smooth shifts and enhanced control, enabling riders to tackle both steep climbs and fast straights with confidence. With a commendable fuel consumption rate of 4.21 litres per 100 km, the 701 Enduro offers an impressive blend of performance and efficiency for long-distance adventurers. What truly sets the 701 Enduro apart are its advanced features and technologies designed for serious riders. The trellis frame, made of high-grade chromium-molybdenum steel, provides exceptional rigidity while keeping the weight at a mere 146 kg (321.9 pounds), resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5052 HP/kg. The WP XPLOR suspension system offers 250 mm of front and rear travel, ensuring that the bike can absorb the toughest of terrains with ease. Riders will appreciate the inclusion of two ride modes and traction control, allowing for customization based on riding conditions and skill levels. The bike’s ground clearance of 270 mm ensures you can tackle obstacles without hesitation, and the adjustable seat height of 920 mm allows for a personalized fit. **
