Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a tall, light, powerful big-bore single that rewards active riding.
PurposeBuilt primarily for serious off-road enduro riding and technical trail work, with enough road manners to serve as an occasional street-legal adventure companion.
Rider FitThe tall 36.8-inch seat height and minimal wind protection demand good rider fitness, leg length, and core strength for extended standing and technical maneuvering.
CharacterA raw, torquey, single-cylinder enduro weapon that feels light, agile, and eager to attack trails, ruts, and technical terrain.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for shorter riders, passengers, beginners, or anyone seeking a plush, long-distance touring machine.

At 901mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with cannot reach comfortably on the 2016 Husqvarna 701 Enduro, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
