Faithfull to the iconic brand’s core values, the 701 ENDURO is a machine built from the ground up to lead in terms of power, weight, technology and performance.
Combining state-of-the-art equipment with unique bodywork, it offers functional Swedish-inspired design. Featuring class-leading technology, the 690cc engine, which produces 67hp, has a double spark-plug ignition, selectable engine maps and ride-by-wire throttle, which combined provides a perfectly linear power delivery.
With its crisp throttle response the engine allows riders of all levels to confidently tackle both their next offroad adventure as well as the daily commute aboard the 701 ENDURO.
Reliability, durability, and efficiency are guaranteed by high-tech applications such as the active crankcase evacuation and the forced lubrication system, which reduce oil friction and pump losses. The adoption of these innovative solutions brings long 10 000km service internvals and extrememly low fuel consumption.
The 701 ENDURO has innovative bodywork featuring a long seat that reaches over the radiator shrouds with functional ribbing to improve grip in all conditions. The in-mould graphics on the subframe protect the integrated fuel tank while also ensuring an elegant look to the rear of the bike.
Tightly wrapped around the engine and frame, the 701’s bodywork is ergonomically designed to connect the riders’s body to the bike. WP Performance has tuned the closed-cartridge 4CS forks specifically for the 701 ENDURO, which find their perfect match in the fully-adjustable WP rear shock. For perfect all-terrain riding capabilities both fron and rear suspension offer 275mm of travel.
For optimal weight distribution, and long-ride peace of mind, a 13litre fuel tank is intergrated into the subframe. A set of anodised CNC machined triple clamps with precisely engineered flex adds to the 701 ENURO’s extensive list of superior quality components.
The advanced ABS system with offroad specific settings, Brembo brakes and the hydraulically operated slipper-clutch guarantee total control in all conditions.
The 701 ENDURO comes with hight-quality black DID rims as standard, fitted with tried and tested Continental TKC 80 tyres on the 21”(front) and 18”(rear) wheels.
The Husqvarna 701 ENDURO will be available from November 2015 (February 2016 in the US and Canada) at authorised Husqvarna Motorcycle Dealers.
