Husqvarna has revealed its 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto bikes for 2023, with both receiving new colour schemes.
The new model year is well and truly upon us by now, and Husqvarna have been one of the latest manufacturers to publish a look at some of their 2023 offerings.
In particular, the 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto have been revealed in their 2023 guises. There is nothing new to talk about technically on either motorcycle, but there is a new colour option.
The 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto are like most other Husqvarnas in that they share similarities with motorcycles from KTM. In the case of the 701 Enduro, the KTM equivalent is the 690 Enduro, and in the case of the 701 Supermoto, it is the equivalent of the KTM 690 SMC R.
Additionally, GasGas ES 700 is the Spanish brand’s Enduro equivalent, and the SM 700 its Supermoto equivalent.
It goes without saying that the 701 Enduro and 701 Supermoto feature KTM’s established 690cc twin-cylinder, but the paint jobs are new, and the “fluo yellow on grey” design is certainly eye-catching on the Supermoto. The Enduro, on the other hand, looks more 'traditionally' Husqvarna, with its white, blue and fluo yellow paint.

- Brembo Monoblock front brake calliper on the 701 Supermoto for exceptional braking performance
