The 2024 Husqvarna 701 Enduro continues to be the benchmark for riders seeking a motorcycle capable of covering long distances on the road and tackling difficult enduro trails with equal efficiency. Built around an ultra-lightweight chassis and the most powerful production single-cylinder engine on the market, the 701 Enduro is defined by mechanical simplicity paired with modern technology, offering a power-to-weight ratio that dominates the dual-sport class.
Powertrain and Dynamics: The 692.7cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine develops an impressive 74 HP and 73.5 Nm of torque. Ride-by-Wire technology ensures precise power delivery, while the Keihin electronic fuel injection system guarantees efficient consumption and easy starting in all conditions. A distinctive feature is the presence of two balancer shafts that significantly reduce vibrations, making road travel much more comfortable than conventional single-cylinders.
Chassis and Suspension: The chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame works together with the rear subframe, which integrates the 13-liter fuel tank for optimal weight distribution and a low center of gravity. The suspension is competition-grade: the WP XPLOR fork and the rear monoshock with a linkage system offer a generous 250 mm of travel. These components are fully adjustable, allowing the rider to fine-tune settings for increased road comfort or for absorbing large impacts during off-road riding.
Electronics and Components: The 2024 model comes equipped with advanced electronic systems, including selectable riding modes (Street and Off-road), lean-angle sensitive traction control (MTC), and Bosch Cornering ABS, which can be partially or fully deactivated for off-road use. The transmission benefits from the Easy Shift system (bidirectional Quickshifter), allowing for fast clutchless gear changes. High-performance Brembo brakes ensure firm stopping power, completing the technical package of an adventure-ready motorcycle.
