Husqvarna 701 Supermoto

The Husqvarna 701 Supermoto for 2026 delivers precisely what dedicated motorcyclists crave—raw, track-honed performance fused with razor-edge handling. Its athletic riding posture, featherlight chassis, and punchy single-cylinder engine place the rider at the heart of an intense, asphalt-slicing experience. An updated graphic suite—infused with Husqvarna’s Swedish DNA—ensures this machine not only rides like a dream but also stands out with bold, striking charisma.

At the core beats a potent SOHC, liquid-cooled, 692.7 cc single-cylinder engine, unleashed at an impressive 55 kW (74 hp) at 8,000 rpm and a stout 73.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm—offering no shortage of thrust and a visceral engine character.

Breathing and emissions control gain a performance upgrade: a reengineered exhaust system now includes twin Lambda sensors and a relocated catalytic converter within the header pipe, simplifying upgrades with optional rear silencers from the Technical Accessories range.

The transmission continues to impress with its 6-speed gearbox, now compatible with an optional Quickshifter+. This precision system—thanks to dual sensors—delivers seamless, clutchless shifts under full load, enhancing acceleration control and maximizing traction.

Up top, the engine’s SOHC cylinder head features four valves (42 mm intake / 34 mm exhaust), actuated via rocker arms, supporting high-rev performance. Meanwhile, a dual-spark plug system with individually timed ignition promotes optimal fuel efficiency.

The bike’s skeleton is a refined, chromoly steel trellis frame, now featuring enhanced stiffness to sharpen feedback while preserving its renowned agility and stability.

Though full chassis specs aren’t reiterate here, the latest model retains the high-performance WP APEX suspension, Brembo brakes with Brembo radial front caliper, lean-sensitive Bosch ABS, tubeless 17" spoked wheels on ContiAttack SM EVO tyres, and electronic aids like ride modes and traction control as per earlier models. 

Finally, the 2026 edition arrives with a host of minor but strategic updates—new fuel line protector, a refreshed radiator cap, and those distinctive Swedish-inspired graphics, blending protection, performance, and standout style.
