2026 Husqvarna 701 Enduro and Supermoto unveiled

  • Get revised performance and chassis upgrades
  • Come with fresh electronics package
  • Production to begin end of 2025

Husqvarna has pulled the covers off the 2026 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto, both packing more power, sharper looks, and a serious tech upgrade.

The beating heart of both machines is the Euro 5+ compliant LC4 single-cylinder engine, now making 79 PS (up from 74). The bump comes courtesy of revised valve timing, a relocated catalyst, a higher-pressure fuel pump, and a redesigned airbox. Service intervals are stretched too: oil every 15,000 km, valve checks at 30,000 km.

Chassis updates bring new suspension settings, a chromium-molybdenum trellis frame, aluminium swingarm, and a polyamide subframe with the tank integrated. Bodywork is sleeker, graphics are fresh, and there are new mounting points for a centre stand.

Tech takes a big leap with a 4.2-inch landscape TFT dash offering RPM, gear position, ride modes, and toggles for ABS and traction control. Pair it with the Ride HQV app and you get music, call handling, and full navigation. A USB-C charging port is standard.

The 701 Enduro gains an optional Rally Mode, unlocking tools like Motor Slip Regulation, Slip Adjuster, and the new Dynamic Slip Adjust system, which automatically fine-tunes rear wheel slip depending on terrain — handy for climbs or mud. ABS can be killed at the touch of a button for true off-road freedom.

701 Supermoto

The 701 Supermoto introduces a Supermoto+ ABS system that lets the rear slide under braking while keeping the front in check. A Sport ABS mode allows harder braking at higher lean angles, while an optional Track Mode adds Launch Control, five-stage anti-wheelie, Motor Slip Regulation, and Slip Adjuster. Stopping comes from a Brembo four-piston caliper biting a 320 mm front disc.

Both bikes also benefit from cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, ride mode memory, and a new LED headlight.

Production of the 2026 Husqvarna 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto kicks off in late 2025.
