Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2020

The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto is a pure fun bike that is made neither for long tours nor for high speeds. Light, strong, puristic. If the automatic gearshift had also fallen victim to purism - I wouldn't mind.

The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. Professionals have said that the 300 is actually too powerful for them. For me, however, it is THE 2-stroke recommendation, especially for hobby riders. With the map selector, you can choose the "mild" mapping here and also fall back on the weaker spring for the exhaust control. In practice, you can ride it in a gear higher than the 250 and it becomes quite tame. The new balancer shaft offers a big plus in ride comfort: significantly less vibration!
