Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2026

Modern styling premium components and the latest technology combine to ensure the 701 Supermoto is a machine like no other Designed to bring the pure spirit of Supermoto riding to the streets the performance of the most powerful single cylinder model can be harnessed and refined using an extensive list of electronic rider aids Complete with a perfectly balanced chassis riders can slide from corner to corner with ease as they command the road

Engine

Redesigned crankcases reduce drag which plays a vital role in enabling the single cylinder engine to create more torque and peak power than the previous generation
Together with an extensive list of new or revised components and updated valve timing the proven LC4 engine is compliant with the latest emissions standards and retains its linear and controllable power delivery An added benefit of the latest engine are the service intervals with oil changes now required at 15 000 km instead of the 10 000 km on the outgoing model

Exhaust

The latest generation 701 Supermoto is equipped with an improved exhaust system Two lambda sensors together with the catalytic converter 8211 which has been relocated into the header pipe 8211 control the emissions and ensure the machine is emissions compliant This updated design allows riders to replace the silencer with one from the Technical Accessories range quickly and easily for enhanced performance

Gearbox

The 6 speed gearbox is equipped with an optional Quickshifter that allows all gear changes to be made without using the clutch The system uses two sensors one of which is on the shift arm When it detects movement on the gear lever power is reduced for a fraction of a second The second sensor is for gear selection and once the next gear is engaged full power returns The Quickshifter delivers smoother acceleration improved traction and works even under heavy load

Cylinder Head

The compact Single Overhead Camshaft SOHC 4 valve cylinder head features 42 mm intake valves and 34 mm exhaust valves These are actuated by a reliable rocker arm system that delivers precise valve timing at high engine speeds A dual spark plug layout with individually controlled ignition timing ensures optimal fuel consumption

Frame

The lightweight chromium molybdenum steel trellis frame is updated to be slightly stiffer without compromising its renowned handling characteristics Detailed feedback from the terrain is transferred to the rider thanks to the precisely calculated torsional rigidity and longitudinal flex

Subframe

The self supporting rear subframe with its integrated 3 4 gallon 13 liter fuel tank is perfectly positioned for optimal weight distribution Manufactured using a thermoplastic rotational molding process the single piece construction of the polyamide tank ensures a low weight

WP Forks

The WP APEX front forks offer 224 mm of wheel travel and are specifically engineered for riding supermoto Featuring an open cartridge design with a spring in each leg compression and rebound settings can be fine tuned with 30 clicks each using the clearly marked dials located on top of each fork leg

WP Shock

The WP APEX rear shock offers adjustable compression and rebound settings for a customised set up Connected to a linkage system for a high level of feedback from the asphalt and offering 240 mm of rear wheel travel the shock provides comfort and stability along every straight and through every corner

Airbox

The redesigned airbox features a intake snorkel for improved air flow into the engine The updated version also reduces the number of parts used to construct the airbox while retaining the same failproof air filter from the previous generation

Fuel Pump

The latest generation 701 Supermoto features a higher pressure fuel pump which plays a vital role in fuel atomisation and provides a more direct connection between the throttle and rear wheel The pump also allows for easy replacement of the fuel filters

Ride By Wire Throttle

The Keihin electronic fuel injection system features a 50 mm throttle body with no mechanical linkage to the throttle grip As the rider twists the throttle open or closed the throttle valve is electronically controlled by the Engine Management System EMS which continuously compares engine parameters with sensor data and adjusts accordingly The end result is a smooth and responsive power delivery

Brakes

The latest ABS technology from Bosch offers four settings 8211 road sport supermoto and supermoto In combination with a four piston floating Brembo caliper and 320 mm disc on the front and a single piston Brembo caliper and 240 mm disc on the rear confidence inspiring braking performance is assured

Bodywork

Updated graphics are applied to the smoother and sleeker bodywork which has been ergonomically designed to connect the rider to the motorcycle and ensure unrestricted movement The riding experience is further enhanced by the extended seat which reaches over the radiator shrouds for improved grip and control through tighter corners At the front a headlight unit houses LED bulbs to illuminate the way in all low light situations

Electronic Rider Aids

Using the handlebar mounted switch cube riders can take advantage of multiple electronic rider aids to maximise their riding experience A choice of three ride modes 8211 Street Sport and optional Track 8211 can be easily selected based on rider preference or conditions Track mode is designed for circuits and twisting roads and incorporates Launch Control Anti Wheelie Motor Slip Regulation and a Slip Adjuster To underline the modern build specification of the 701 Supermoto additional set up options include Cornering MTC and a choice of four ABS modes allowing riders to activate the setting that best suits their riding style

Connectivity

When paired with the Ride Husqvarna app the rider 8217 s smartphone enables enhanced connectivity Calls can be made or answered music can be played and Turn by Turn navigation ensures no missed turns

TFT Dashboard

A large and clear 4 2 8243 TFT dashboard features a bonded anti glare screen and integrates neatly in front of the aluminium handlebars Providing essential information at a glance the dashboard is a welcome addition on the latest generation 701 Supermoto For keeping deviced charged while riding a USB C Port is easily accessible beneath the dashboard

Supermoto ABS and Sport ABS

With Supermoto ABS engaged riders can lock up the rear wheel to help initiate a slide through tighter corners The system works by sensing the lean angle of the motorcycle momentarily disengaging the ABS when the 701 Supermoto is leant over into sharp turns The ABS functionality remains active on the front wheel for full control Sport ABS allows riders to be more aggressive on the brakes before ABS intervenes While ABS functionality remains active on both the front and rear wheels ABS intervenes a little later allowing rides to brake harder with rear wheel lift up intervention reduced to allow for harder more precise braking maneuvers
