Husqvarna 701 Enduro
The Husqvarna 701 Enduro was introduced in 2016, built around the same high-performance single-cylinder engine platform shared with the KTM 690 Enduro R, reflecting the close ties between the two brands under the Pierer Mobility Group. It quickly gained recognition as one of the most capable and powerful single-cylinder enduro bikes available, blending road-legal compliance with serious off-road performance. Over the years it received incremental updates including ride-by-wire, traction control, and cornering ABS, cementing its status as a premium choice in the adventure-enduro segment.

What Buyers Should Know
KTM 690 Engine Shared
The 701 shares its proven LC4 single-cylinder engine with the KTM 690 Enduro, meaning a massive parts and tuning ecosystem exists. This makes long-term ownership significantly cheaper and easier.
Watch the Valve Intervals
The LC4 engine requires valve clearance checks every 15,000 km — often overlooked by previous owners. Always ask for service records, as neglected valves can lead to costly top-end damage.
Strong Resale Value
The 701 Enduro holds its value exceptionally well due to its dual-sport versatility and limited production numbers. Well-maintained examples typically retain 75–85% of their value after two years.
