package too . Engine management is not just your wrist ... the EFI control is ride by wire to the 50mm throttle body . There are two power modes - Road and Enduro . Road has a more aggressive power delivery and Enduro is softer and more linear and it disables the rear ABS . Both TC and ABS are lean angle sensitive and TC can be turned completely off . So , if you are the kind of rider who enjoys steering with the rear wheel both under power and brakes , this Husky is a great option .
TOP DRAWER BRAKING Speaking of brakes , the 701 has great stoppers . Of course , they are not giant , twin disc Superbike strong , but then the 701 is only 146kg dry . The single front 300mm disc with a twin piston Brembo caliper combination still produces plenty of stopping power without having to pull on the lever particularly hard . And the feel is excellent on slippery off-road terrain where a delicate touch is vital . So , bloody good on and off road .
