With its aggressive styling, lightweight construction, and race-inspired components, this motorcycle promises a ride that's as exhilarating as it is versatile. At the heart of the 701 Supermoto is a robust 692.7 cc single-cylinder engine, delivering a remarkable 73.8 horsepower at 8000 RPM and a torque of 74.0 Nm at 6000 RPM. This powertrain is designed not only for spirited acceleration but also for an exhilarating riding experience that resonates with both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts.

With a fuel consumption rate of just 4.05 liters per 100 km, riders can enjoy extended adventures without the constant worry of refueling. The 701 Supermoto is equipped with advanced features that enhance its performance and rider experience. The chassis is built from a lightweight chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame, delivering exceptional rigidity and stability. The WP APEX suspension system, featuring 215 mm of front travel and 240 mm of rear travel, ensures that riders can tackle rough terrains with ease. Additionally, riders can choose between two ride modes and enjoy the confidence that comes with traction control technology, making this bike as adaptable as it is thrilling. With a comfortable seat height of 890 mm, the 701 Supermoto caters to a wide range of riders, while its ABS-equipped Brembo brakes provide powerful stopping performance. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: With 73.8 HP and 74.0 Nm of torque, this bike delivers exhilarating acceleration and responsive handling.
  • Advanced Suspension Setup: The WP APEX suspension provides superior comfort and control, making it ideal for both city riding and spirited cornering.
  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at just 147 kg, the 701 Supermoto is easy to maneuver, making it perfect for urban environments.

Cons

  • Tall Seat Height: At 890 mm, the seat may not be ideal for shorter riders, potentially affecting confidence during stops.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 13-liter tank, longer rides may require more frequent stops for fuel, which could interrupt the adventure.
  • Single Cylinder Vibe: While the single-cylinder engine offers a thrilling experience, it may produce more vibrations compared to multi-cylinder counterparts, which some riders may find less comfortable on longer journeys.
