TRAVERSE 126

Big-Bore Single, Bigger Horizons

For riders who dream of long horizons, rocky switchbacks, and the freedom of the trail, Husqvarna’ s flagship dual-sport just got a serious upgrade. The 2026 Husqvarna 701 Enduro has arrived, leaner, stronger, and smarter than ever, reaffirming its place as one of the most capable large-displacement single-cylinder motorcycles on the market. This latest generation doesn’ t just tweak the formula, it redefines it. At its heart lies a redesigned LC4 engine, now Euro 5 + compliant, punching out 79 PS, a jump from the previous 74. More power, more torque, and— crucially for long-distance adventurers— extended service intervals, stretching oil changes to 15,000 kilometres and valve checks to 30,000. For the bigmile explorer, that’ s a game-changer.
