CNC machined triple clamps
As on the other major chassis components, the anodised CNC machined triple clamps are precisely engineered to allow the fork tubes to flex under stress. This gives the rider more feeling under braking and on bumpy terrain. They are designed to evenly distribute the clamping force on the fork leg, maximising contact area for optimal sensitivity and minimum friction. Additionally, the handlebar is attached to the triple clamp through a rubber damping system for reduced vibrations and superb comfort.
- Precisely engineered flex → maximum feedback to the rider
- Sophisticated fork leg clamping → even distribution of clamping force on fork leg
- Rubber damping system → superb comfort
Wheels
Black D.I.D rims, made of high-strength aluminium alloy, mated to silver nipples add an aggressive and modern look to the 701 Enduro. The offroad capabilities of the 701 Enduro are underlined by the size of the wheels: 21” at the front and 18” at the rear.
- Lightweight, strong and reliable construction → minimum unsprung weight
tires
Continental TKC 80 tires are standard fitment on the 701 Enduro. The tires offer high levels of grip and handling on a wide variety of terrain (on street and offroad) as well as guaranteeing impressive longevity. The sizes are 90/90-21 at the front and 140/80-18 at the rear.
- Continental TKC 80 tires → excellent grip and handling on all surfaces
Brakes
The latest ABS technology by Bosch features advanced logic for offroad conditions, such as gravel, and is mated to high-performance Brembo brakes; a two-piston floating caliper, 300 mm diameter floating wave disc at the front, and a single piston caliper, 240 mm diameter floating wave disc at the rear. The perfectly placed controls allow for optimal feel and balance under all conditions.
- High-performance brakes → shorter stopping distance with greater control and confidence
Ride modes
The ride modes can be easily switched from the handlebar, making an adjustment to the power characteristic of the engine possible on the go.
Street mode (mode 1) gives a sporty throttle response with cornering sensitive ABS and traction control to reduce rear wheel slip and wheelies for controlled street riding performance.
The Offroad ride mode (mode 2) provides a smooth throttle response with offroad traction control, allowing increased wheel slip and lifting of the front wheel for offroad usage without hindering performance.
The Offroad ABS mode is integrated into the ride mode. In the Offroad mode, ABS only functions on the front wheel. The rider can then lock up the rear wheel for improved vehicle control offroad while the reduced ABS activation on the front wheel helps braking and deceleration on loose surfaces.
In Offroad mode, the lean angle functionality is disengaged allowing the rider to lean the motorcycle without any intervention, essential in extreme offroad riding. The Offroad mode does not detect any lifting of the rear wheel.
Additionally, the ABS functionality can be fully disengaged on the 701 Enduro by pressing and holding down the ABS button on the dashboard for approx. 3 seconds. This gives experienced riders full control over their braking for extreme offroad usage.
- Switchable ride modes → change the power characteristic and traction control on the fly

A masterpiece
Engine
The single overhead camshaft, liquid cooled, single cylinder engine features the latest in design and electronic technology. An outstanding maximum power output of 55 kW (74 hp) at 8,000 rpm and torque of 73,5 Nm at 6,500 rpm leave the rider in no doubt of the performance packed inside this lightweight unit.
Cylinder head
The compact design of the single overhead camshaft, 4-valve cylinder head features 42 mm intake valves and 34 mm exhaust valves actuated by a robust rocker arm system which delivers precise valve timing at high engine speeds. Ignition is via a dual spark plug layout, each of which has an individual ignition timing control for optimal fuel combustion in the large bore combustion chamber.
Ride-by-wire throttle
The Keihin electronic fuel injection system features a 50 mm throttle body with no mechanical linkage to the throttle grip. As the rider twists the throttle open or closed, the throttle valve is electronically controlled by the engine management system (EMS). The EMS continuously compares engine parameters with data from sensors, and adjusts the throttle valve accordingly, resulting in perfect power delivery and throttle response.
Gearbox
The lightweight 6-speed gearbox features an Easy Shift function allowing gears to be seamlessly shifted up or down without using the clutch. The system uses two sensors, one sensor is on the shift arm, which detects the movement on the shift lever rod when the rider upshifts. As the second sensor detects the gear engagement, it matches engine parameters to allow a simple gear change at any RPM or engine load.
Perfect control
Wheels
Black D.I.D rims made of high strength aluminium alloy add an aggressive and modern look to the 701 Enduro. The offroad capabilities of the 701 Enduro are underlined by the 21″ front and 18″ rear wheel diameter.
Brakes
The latest ABS technology from Bosch is combined with high performance brakes from Brembo: a two piston floating calliper and disc at the front as well as a single piston calliper and disc at the rear (both floating wave discs, 300 and 240 mm diameter respectively). The latest corner sensitive ABS technology from Bosch guarantees maximum safety and total confidence and can be fully disengaged for more advanced riders.
Slipper clutch
The APTC (Adler Power Torque Clutch) from Adler allows for greater speeds going into and coming out of corners by maximising rear wheel grip under hard acceleration as well as preventing rear wheel instability and chatter when braking hard into turns. The rider thus enjoys maximum control and perfect down-shifting.
Traction control
The lean-angle sensitive traction control system monitors rear wheel speed and reacts immediately (within milliseconds) if the rotational speed of the rear wheel is disproportionate to the riding situation. The system works by reducing the engine output with a smooth and barely perceivable intervention at the throttle valve, until the system has reduced slippage to an optimum level for the selected ride mode and current lean angle. For riders looking for the full control of their motorcycle, the traction control can also be switched off.
Premium technology
Bodywork
Sleek, modern bodywork is ergonomically designed to connect the rider to the motorcycle and allow for unrestricted movement in all situations. The riding experience is further enhanced by the extended seat, which reaches over the radiator shrouds for improved grip and control in tighter corners. Additionally, a USB socket is neatly positioned behind the headlight mask for a convenient and continuous power supply for all navigational devices.
CNC-machined triple clamps
As on the other major components of the chassis, the anodised CNC-machined triple clamps have a precisely engineered flex designed to allow the fork tubes to flex under stress. This gives the rider more feeling under braking and on bumpy terrain.
Ride modes
With a handlebar switch, the power characteristic of the engine can easily be adjusted on the fly through two unique ride modes. Mode 1 offers a sporty throttle response and cornering sensitve traction control, limiting wheel slip and wheelies to a minimum for optimal street riding performance. Mode 2 provides a smooth throttle response with off-road traction control, allowing wheel slip and lifting of the front wheel for off-road usage without restricting the performance. The off-road ABS function is also integrated into mode 2. In the off-road mode, ABS only functions on the front wheel. The rider can then lock up the rear wheel for improved vehicle control off-road and the reduced ABS activation on the front wheel helps in effective deceleration on loose surfaces.
