Husqvarna 701 Enduro

[SS427 Camaro]

Really like these ( particularly the colours of the 2017 model and white framed model ) but not yet ridden one. Anyone here own one ?

Like the KTM 690 Enduro, it's a very good compromise bike, my mate has one.

Great at off road, but heavy on singletrack.

OK on road, not great at long distances.

But a good all-round hoon on lanes and trails. Like a CRF300L on steroids.

Long distance and then off road is what im interested in.

I have the LR which is going on it's first long journey in June to the Alps. It is, of course a bit heavier but I have ovr 300mls of range. I have the 'Renazco' seat which is better but not for me so I use an 'Airhawk' with the stock seat and it seems to work fine.

You'll also find that the 'Easyshift' Husqvarna's version of a 'Quickshifter' is VERY adictive and turns you into a hooligan!

Looks great ! Love the screen etc, is the LR a factory edition ?

I find tyres the biggest issue.
I know a few people with CrF250L who have fitted michelin trackers.
Fit one of those to the 701/690 and the rear is shredded in 2k.

It is such a great dual use bike but the tyre is always the compromise. Its never got the right tyre on.

I did consider getting a set of supermoto wheels for mine to make it two bikes for one.

Il probably sell it to be honest, get a proper enduro since I've got a van I don't really need the dual sport element.



I follow a few people on YouTube who own 690/701 and go all over on them but they tend to have decent offroad tracks in their back yard. Something we don't have over here in the UK really

Can you pm me some details please.
