Husqvarna unveils 2026 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto
Husqvarna’s 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto return for 2026 with more power, new electronics, and updated bodywork.
Husqvarna has announced updated versions of its big single-cylinder models for 2026 – the 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto. Both bikes receive a stronger engine, fresh bodywork, and a host of new technology.
At the heart of both is the latest LC4 single-cylinder engine, now Euro 5+ compliant. Power is up from 74 PS to 79 PS, thanks to changes including revised valve timing, a new exhaust with a relocated catalyst, a higher-pressure fuel pump, and a redesigned airbox. Service intervals have also been extended – oil changes now every 15,000 km and valve checks at 30,000 km.
Both bikes feature updated suspension settings, a chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame, aluminium swingarm, and a polyamide subframe with integrated fuel tank. The new bodywork carries sharper lines, restyled graphics, and new mounting points for a centre stand.
A new 4.2-inch landscape TFT dash brings a modern interface with an RPM display, gear indicator, ride mode selection, and toggles for ABS and traction control. Riders can also connect via the Ride HQV app, adding music control, call handling, and turn-by-turn navigation. A USB-C charging port comes as standard.
701 Enduro
The 701 Enduro gets an optional Rally Mode, which unlocks features including Motor Slip Regulation, a Slip Adjuster, and the new Dynamic Slip Adjust system. This last feature automatically adjusts the permitted rear wheel slip depending on conditions, allowing extra spin when traction is limited, such as on climbs or muddy terrain. ABS can be fully disengaged via a dedicated button for off-road use.
701 Supermoto
The 701 Supermoto comes with a new Supermoto+ ABS system, allowing controlled rear-wheel slides under braking while keeping ABS active on the front. A new Sport ABS mode permits harder braking at higher lean angles before intervention. An optional Track Mode adds Launch Control, five levels of anti-wheelie, Motor Slip Regulation, and a Slip Adjuster. Stopping power is provided by a four-piston Brembo caliper and 320 mm front disc.
Shared features
Both bikes gain cornering ABS, cornering traction control, ride modes with memory functions, and a new LED headlight.
