2021 · Enduro-offroad
The 2021 Husqvarna 701 Enduro continued the brand's legacy of high-performance dual-sport motorcycles, building on a lineage known for off-road prowess combined with road legality. Positioned as a serious contender in the large-displacement enduro segment, it directly competes with machines like the KTM 690 Enduro R and the Honda CRF450L, offering a compelling package for riders seeking versatility and capability. This model year reinforced its reputation as a lightweight yet powerful option for navigating diverse terrain.
At the heart of the 2021 701 Enduro is a potent single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 692.7 ccm (42.27 cubic inches). This powerplant generates an impressive 73.8 HP (53.8 kW) at 8000 RPM, providing ample power for both technical trails and open stretches. Torque figures are equally robust, with 73.5 Nm (7.5 kgf-m or 54.2 ft.lbs) delivered at 6500 RPM, ensuring strong pull across the rev range. Despite its power, the motorcycle maintains a manageable dry weight of 146.0 kg (321.9 pounds), contributing to its agility. Fuel capacity stands at 13.00 litres (3.43 gallons), offering a decent range for extended adventures.
Riding the 701 Enduro is characterized by its enduro-offroad focus. The 920 mm (36.2 inches) seat height, even at its lowest adjustable setting, immediately signals its dirt-oriented design, allowing for excellent ground clearance and an assertive, upright stance. This high seating position, combined with quality suspension components, ensures superb handling over rough terrain, absorbing bumps and maintaining composure on challenging trails. On paved roads, the lightweight construction and responsive engine make for a surprisingly engaging experience, though its primary design intent remains firmly rooted in off-road exploration.
The 2021 Husqvarna 701 Enduro is ideally suited for experienced riders who prioritize off-road capability and seek a motorcycle that can confidently tackle technical singletrack while still being street legal for connecting trails. It appeals to adventure riders who lean more towards aggressive dirt riding than long-distance touring. For those who demand high performance, lightweight agility, and genuine enduro chops in a street-legal package, the 701 Enduro offers a highly capable and rewarding ownership experience.
