RIDE REVIEW I 2024 AJP PR7
expect. In normal conditions,
the brakes were good.
The Samsung tablet is a
really great feature for getting
out and exploring. You can
add a plugin that allows you
to connect to the motor to see
the rpm, speed, etc., but it is
more useful as a navigation
device. We didn't sign the de
-
vice up for cell service since it
was a temporary loan, but do-
ing so would allow you to use
On-X or other navigation apps.
The tablet is much larger than
a phone for navigation, and
the visibility, even in sunlight,
is pretty good. Just plan to
wipe the dust off often.
The PR7 shines in explor-
ing dirt roads and stands out
when the roads get a little too
brutal for a full-size adventure
motorcycle. We mostly rode
mountain forest roads and
liked that we could keep going
when those roads deterio-
rated. Open desert roads are
also a highlight on this bike
since it is very stable at speed
and can handle unexpected
low center of gravity and a
nice slim cockpit that is easy
to move around on. Speaking
of the cockpit, the bike is very
comfortable, and the large
seat is great for pounding out
miles. The seat height is also
a little lower than a standard
off-road or dual-sport motor
-
cycle, which helps when you
need to dab or just put your
feet down at a stop.
The Brembo brakes
worked well for us in most
conditions. The only time we
had any issues was when we
took the bike down a huge
downhill with rolling baby-
head rocks. The rear brake
locked up a little too easily,
and the front brake got a little
spongy at the lever. This was
not the kind of trail that we
would choose to take a big
bike like this on, but some
-
times the road turns into a
much tighter trail than you
(Left) The PR7's engine has roots to the older-generation Husqvarna engine.
(Right) The fuel tank is located under the seat, which contributes to a low center of
gravity and a nice, slim cockpit that is easy to move around on. (Below) One of the
AJP's standout features is its navigation tower, which includes a Samsung tablet.
