Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna 701 Enduro 2017

The Husqvarna 701 Enduro can really do a lot. It rides Hardenduro sections and is a faithful companion in everyday life. On the one hand it is reliable and suitable for everyday use, but on the other hand it is much more radical than "normal" motorbikes. On fast passages, you miss a bit of stability and wind protection / riding comfort. All in all, however, it can do more than the brochure promises.

Extremely powerful and fascinating single-cylinder engine

indestructible and high-quality chassis

hard enduro use possible

awesome wheelie machine.

High seat height, front brake a little too weakly dimensioned for hard road use

unstable at high speeds.
