Husqvarna has just announced the release of its new 701 Enduro LR for 2020.
Building on the success of its standard 701 Enduro, the only significant change for the LR model is that it gets a massive 25 litre fuel tank. And according to Husky, it’s perfect for extended, adrenaline-filled on or off-road adventures – and will manage up to 500km (around 310 miles) before you have to refuel.
The 701 Enduro LR is powered by the same 74hp single-cylinder 692.7 cc engine as its shorter range sibling – and comes with cornering ABS, lean angle sensitive traction control, switchable ride modes and an easy shift as standard. It also comes fitted with fully adjustable 48mm WP XPLOR upside-down forks and a WP XPLOR rear shock – which offers 250mm of wheel travel.
