Cycle News Staff | October 28, 2015
Husqvarna debuts its new 701 Enduro model, but the U.S. won’t get it until February. We want it now!
Husqvarna has introduced the 701 Enduro, an all-new model from the gun-sight brand.
The 701 Enduro is a cross between a big-bore dual sport bike and a midsize adventure bike. It’s designed to do a lot of both.
The 701 powered by a 690cc EFI engine that is said to produce 67 horsepower. It has a double spark plug ignition, selectable engine maps and ride-by-wire throttle. Husqvarna says it has a 6000-mile service interval and “extremely low fuel consumption.”
The 701 Enduro features a 3.9-gallon fuel tank.
The trellis frame is made out of high-grade chromium-molybdenum steel and the rear subframe polyamide plastic, which integrates the 3.9-gallon fuel tank. Suspension is handled by WP components, including the closed-cartridge 4CS fork that is designed specifically for the 701 Enduro.
It has ABS (with off-road settings), Brembo brakes and a hydraulically operated slipper clutch.
The Husqvarna 701 Enduro will be available this month but not in the U.S. or Canada until February.
MSRP has not been announced.
