Bringing the pure spirit of Supermoto riding to the street, the powerful, single-cylinder 701 Supermoto delivers unparalleled performance on the asphalt. Featherlight, perfectly balanced, and equipped with the latest electronic rider aids, it is a motorcycle that allows for full customisation and encourages extended ride times. Distinguished by its black and grey livery, the 701 Supermoto creates a commanding presence on the open road.

Front Suspension

 The split fork design is fitted with springs on both sides but separate damping functions. Compression damping is on the left and the rebound on the right-hand side without influencing each other. As with all XPLOR forks by WP, the clicker settings can be easily and quickly adjusted via the dials on the top of the fork tubes with 30 clicks each. The red dial on the right alters rebound damping, while the white dial on the left is for compression damping.

WP Suspension stands for premium quality and offers the best performance levels. Precision engineering, quality materials and advanced production processes are an integral part of the WP forks on the Husqvarna model range.

  • 48 mm WP XPLOR upside-down fork → split fork design with springs on both sides but separate damping functions
  • Easy access clicker dials → simple and fast clicker settings
  • 250 mm wheel travel → versatile enduro suspension

Rear suspension

The high-performance WP XPLOR rear shock is completely adjustable for rebound and high and low speed compression damping and is connected to a linkage. Offroad geometry and 250 mm rear wheel travel ensure unbeatable all-terrain capability.

  • WP XPLOR shock → completely adjustable for rebound and high/low-speed compression damping
  • 250 mm wheel travel → excellent all-terrain capability

CNC machined triple clamps

As on the other major chassis components, the anodised CNC machined triple clamps are precisely engineered to allow the fork tubes to flex under stress. This gives the rider more feeling under braking and on bumpy terrain. They are designed to evenly distribute the clamping force on the fork leg, maximising contact area for optimal sensitivity and minimum friction. Additionally, the handlebar is attached to the triple clamp through a rubber damping system for reduced vibrations and superb comfort.

  • Precisely engineered flex → maximum feedback to the rider
  • Sophisticated fork leg clamping → even distribution of clamping force on fork leg
  • Rubber damping system → superb comfort

Wheels

Black D.I.D rims, made of high-strength aluminium alloy, mated to silver nipples add an aggressive and modern look to the 701 Enduro. The offroad capabilities of the 701 Enduro are underlined by the size of the wheels: 21” at the front and 18” at the rear.

  • Lightweight, strong and reliable construction → minimum unsprung weight

Tyres

Continental TKC 80 tyres are standard fitment on the 701 Enduro. The tyres offer high levels of grip and handling on a wide variety of terrain (on street and offroad) as well as guaranteeing impressive longevity. The sizes are 90/90-21 at the front and 140/80-18 at the rear.

  • Continental TKC 80 tyres → excellent grip and handling on all surfaces

Brakes

The latest ABS technology by Bosch features advanced logic for offroad conditions, such as gravel, and is mated to high-performance Brembo brakes; a two-piston floating caliper, 300 mm diameter floating wave disc at the front, and a single piston caliper, 240 mm diameter floating wave disc at the rear. The perfectly placed controls allow for optimal feel and balance under all conditions.

  • High-performance brakes → shorter stopping distance with greater control and confidence

Ride modes

The ride modes can be easily switched from the handlebar, making an adjustment to the power characteristic of the engine possible on the go.

Street mode (mode 1) gives a sporty throttle response with cornering sensitive ABS and traction control to reduce rear wheel slip and wheelies for controlled street riding performance.

The Offroad ride mode (mode 2) provides a smooth throttle response with offroad traction control, allowing increased wheel slip and lifting of the front wheel for offroad usage without hindering performance.

The Offroad ABS mode is integrated into the ride mode. In the Offroad mode, ABS only functions on the front wheel. The rider can then lock up the rear wheel for improved vehicle control offroad while the reduced ABS activation on the front wheel helps braking and deceleration on loose surfaces.

In Offroad mode, the lean angle functionality is disengaged allowing the rider to lean the motorcycle without any intervention, essential in extreme offroad riding. The Offroad mode does not detect any lifting of the rear wheel.

Additionally, the ABS functionality can be fully disengaged on the 701 Enduro by pressing and holding down the ABS button on the dashboard for approx. 3 seconds. This gives experienced riders full control over their braking for extreme offroad usage.

  • Switchable ride modes → change the power characteristic and traction control on the fly

A2 licence compatible

With the specific A2 engine map that limits power to 30 kW, the 701 Enduro can be ridden by A2 licence holders that aspire to become true world travellers.
