What happens when HARD Kits takes a bike as good as the Husky 701 Enduro and specs it up to rallye standards? Adventure-riding magic happens.

It’s not easy to take a great bike, bolt things to it, and end up with an even better bike. HARD Kits has managed it. The Gold Coast-based company came up with a kit for KTM’s 690 which we rode in issue #03 and loved. Basically, the HARD Kit gave the standard 690 a rallye-style fit out with a nav tower and bigger fuel capacity. It was an excellent set of mods with some beautiful fabrication. Refinement continued and the company released the Series Two HARD Kit for the 690 – which we rode in issue #09 – and now, there’s a Series Three. The concept is the same – taking the base bike anyone can buy and offering a substantial upgrade in kit form – but HARD Kits is offering its latest rallye set up for Husky’s new 701 Enduro as well as the KTM690. It’s a world first for a Husqvarna kit with additional fuel capacity.
