Based on the same platform as its stablemate 701 Enduro, the 701 Supermoto is a great motorcycle for tackling the urban jungle, commuting, or twisty mountain roads. But it’s also a really fun machine for those who want to do trackdays.
Its 693cc SOHC single is shared with no less than five other models including its Enduro sibling under the Husqvarna banner. It is liquid-cooled, has electric starting and fuel injection, and features ride-by-wire throttle, which allows multiple ride modes. It also has lean-sensitive ABS and traction control, and buyers can add the optional Supermoto ABS mode.
A steel-trellis frame and composite subframe with integrated fuel tank anchor the chassis. Suspension consists of a WP 48mm Apex fork with 8.5 inches of travel in the front and a linked WP Apex shock with 9.4 inches of travel. Tubeless spoked wheels measure 17 inches front and rear with 120/70-17 and 160/60-17 Continental ContiAttack Supermoto rubber. A Brembo radial-mount four-piston caliper and 320mm disc are used up front for stout high-speed braking, while a single-piston Brembo and 240mm disc are used out back.
