Husqvarna 701 Supermoto

The 701 Supermoto is a street-legal supermoto bike designed for agile, high-performance urban or canyon riding. Its 17″ wheels, road-biased tires and sport-chassis geometry make it far more street-oriented than typical enduro machines.

It uses a 692.7 cc (≈693 cc) liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke engine with SOHC and 4 valves.

The latest version claims around 79 PS (≈58.1 kW) of power and 73 Nm of torque according to the manufacturer.

It features ride-by-wire throttle, selectable ride modes, traction control, cornering ABS (including an optional Supermoto ABS mode that allows rear-lock rear wheel braking) and high-performance Brembo brakes.

Yes, the seat height is about 899 mm (≈35.4 inches) for recent models, which is tall and may be challenging for shorter riders to flat-foot comfortably

It excels in aggressive street riding, canyon carving, urban traffic or light track use thanks to its lightweight chassis, sport suspension and strong torque. It’s less ideal if your riding is mostly long-distance touring or heavy passenger/cargo loads.

The dry weight for a recent version is listed at 152 kg (≈335 lb) without fuel.

Because of the tall seat, firm suspension and single-cylinder engine, vibration and comfort at high speeds or long distances may be a trade-off. It’s built more for performance than comfort, so if you want a relaxed cruiser it might not be the best fit.

No, despite its roots in off-road-capable Husqvarna models, the 701 Supermoto is optimized for pavement, with 17″ road tires and street suspension. It’s not designed for serious trail or dirt-track work without major modification.

You should expect typical sport-bike maintenance: regular oil changes, brake checks, chain maintenance, and paying attention to the premium suspension components. Given its high-performance nature, maintain it well to get the best longevity and experience.
