Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 250 EXC 2015

The "big" two-stroke engine was newly developed in 2017 and is used on the 250 and 300. The electric starter is now no longer "flange-mounted" but compactly integrated. The 250 engine remains true to its line and has increased over the entire rev range. The bike offers a high degree of perfection and in expert hands is an unbeatable and indestructible winning machine. Strong enough for professionals! 300cc for the fast fraction not really necessary. Great plus in riding comfort thanks to the new balance shaft: significantly less vibration!

High performance in combination with lively handling

simple design - thus hardest to handle under extreme loads

lower vibrations due to new motor with balancer shaft

Compared to the four-stroke, still more strenuous to ride on long stages

engine response "good", but not as clean as with the four-stroke

compared to the 300, especially for less experienced pilots, too little torque in the rev range.

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.

Beary engine

Very easy to handle

Good brake

Chassis with reserves

Automatic gearshift needs hard commands

Brake drones from time to time
