2026 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto: Sharper, smarter and built for the street

2026 Husqvarna 701 Supermoto: Sharper, smarter and built for the street

The updated 701 Supermoto has arrived and is ready to order now from AMS. With more power, better rider tech and refined handling, it’s everything you’d expect from a street-focused big single and then some. 

Whether you’re commuting, carving corners or just want something with a bit of attitude, the 2026 701 Supermoto is more capable and easier to live with than ever before.

More Power, Same Lightweight Feel

The 2026 model gets a new Euro 5+ compliant LC4 engine, now pushing out 78HP (horsepower), up from 73, with improved efficiency and smoother delivery right through the rev range. It still feels light, flickable and fast, but with stronger pull when you crack open the throttle.

The chassis carries over the same trusted setup: a steel trellis frame, aluminium swingarm and a polyamide rear subframe with integrated fuel tank, all working together to give you confidence at lean and control under braking. Revised suspension settings round things off with better feel and more balance on twisty roads or rougher tarmac.

Tech That Puts You in Control

One of the standout updates for 2026 is the new 4.2-inch landscape TFT display. It’s simple, sharp and gives you everything you need at a glance. RPM, gear position and ride mode settings all clearly shown. 

You also get a USB-C port and full smartphone connectivity through the Ride HQV app. That means music, calls and turn-by-turn navigation, right from the cockpit.

The 701 Supermoto comes with Cornering ABS and MTC, along with custom ride modes that remember your settings. It also features Supermoto+ ABS and Sport ABS, which allow confident rear-wheel slides while keeping the front brake active and predictable.

Track Mode as an Option

For those who like to push harder, the optional Track Mode unlocks even more rider control, including:

  • Launch Control
  • 5-level Anti-Wheelie Mode
  • Motor Slip Regulation
  • Slip Adjuster

You can fine-tune how the bike behaves depending on your riding style or the road ahead.

Made for the Real World

Day-to-day practicality has stepped up too. Oil change intervals have been extended to 15,000 km and valve clearance checks now stretch to 30,000 km, so you’ll spend more time riding and less time maintaining.

Stopping power is just as serious as the engine. The 701 Supermoto is fitted with a Brembo four-piston caliper and a 320 mm disc, giving you strong, reliable braking on everything from city roads to fast mountain descents.

A new LED headlight improves visibility and the restyled white and yellow bodywork gives the 2026 model a fresh, distinctive look that stands out in all the right ways.

Add Your Own Touch

As always, there’s a wide range of Husqvarna Technical Accessories available if you want to personalise your build. Whether you’re after more protection, different styling or just those small finishing touches, there’s plenty to choose from. The Functional Apparel range also has you covered for all-weather comfort and protection.
