Husky has undergone yet another change of ownership, and if you love sharp performance and real off-road cred, you’ll be big fans of the company’s current direction. The 701 Enduro is the new adventure bike, and it’s one grunty whippet of a motorcycle.
Adventure bikes seem to fit into two very broad groups – the big, expensive, glamorous mofos on one side, and the smaller, lighter more agricultural and low-cost singles on the other – so it’s interesting to find a bike like the Husqvarna 701 Enduro. It’s a single, and it’s light, but it’s definitely not agricultural, and whether or not it’s expensive will be in the eye of the purchaser. There’s nothing ‘cheap’ about the build, look or presentation of this bike though, and for eye-opening, near competition-standard performance, this bike will leave a lot of multi-cylinder big bikes panting in its dust.
