Husqvarna 701 Enduro: a single-cylinder adventure enduro, what to know when buying
Husqvarna 701 Enduro — produced since 2016, this single-cylinder enduro motorcycle is suited to both road and off-road use. We look at the versions, tech, and what to check when buying used.
701 Enduro in brief
Husqvarna 701 Enduro — a lightweight and versatile motorcycle that's at home on both asphalt and off-road. It boasts a long suspension travel, a 21-inch front wheel, and a sufficiently powerful engine.
This is the motorcycle for those who need one machine for daily commuting and off-road adventures.
Versions
The first generation debuted in 2016. Later came the 701 Enduro LR with a larger fuel tank, designed for longer adventures.
The model has been updated several times to meet emission standards and equipment, so check the specific year of the example you're considering.
Engine and gearbox
The bike uses a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with around 693 cm³ displacement, producing about 74 hp. The engine is strong and torquey, but vibrations are noticeable.
The gearbox is a six-speed manual. Electronics include an electronic throttle and ABS, which can be switched off for off-road riding.
What to check when buying a used 701 Enduro
A single-cylinder engine requires regular maintenance — ask for the service history, especially regarding oil changes and valve clearances.
Enduro motorcycles are often used off-road, so inspect the guards, suspension, wheel spokes, and exhaust system. Look for signs of damage.
Test the electronics, instrument cluster, and lighting. Check for unauthorized modifications.
