VOL. 53 ISSUE 39 OCTOBER 4, 2016 P49
T
he Husqvarna 701 series will
be updated after only one
year of production for 2017.
The new 701 Supermoto and
Enduro will receive the current
generation KTM 690 Duke motor
that debuted earlier this year,
upping the bike from a claimed
67 horsepower at 7500 rpm and
49 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm on
the 2016 model to 74 horsepower
at 8000 rpm and 51 lb-ft at 6750
rpm for 2017.
Husqvarna's new motor will
also rev 1000 rpm higher than
the 2016 bike, and with a second
balancer shaft, you'll also get less
vibrations through the chassis.
The new motor means service
intervals have been increased
to 6200 miles, with Husqvarna
claiming fuel consumption is also
decreased. CN
