700MT

Centralization for confidence but comfort for kilometers: the riding position of the 700MT is ideal for touring but responsive and assured enough for a rapid blast. The plastics around the fuel tank and front spoiler section of the motorcycle have been bolstered for more stability while on the go, and for better durability to last the distance against the grime from the road or the trail.

The steel frame is complemented by an aluminum alloy subframe that augments the handling but is strong and light enough for pillions and luggage. Upside down forks and a side-mounted shock bring 140/45mm of travel to cope with the bumpiest of routes and riders will find a finely shaped double seat at 840mm (that can be optionally lowered to 820) to orientate the direction and stability of the bike.

 Drive forwards for longer with the liquid-cooled, 693cc, two-cylinder four-stroke DOHC inline engine but with several upgrades for the new 700MT model. The motor has a bore/stroke of 83mm/64mm and delivers smooth acceleration at all RPM with addictive responsiveness. The motor produces a maximum of 67PS/49kw 6000min, 60Nm at 7250rpm. The optimized intake system improves airflow efficiency for quick-revving power and precise throttle return; making it easy to spurt forward and overtake. The engine has lightweight pistons and DLC coating to minimize friction.

Excellent economy from the 18-liter tank keeps the 700MT wheels rolling and the Pirelli rubber will help with extra adhesion for whatever road surfaces the rider wants to face. When the 700MT has to be rolled to a halt, either for a fuel stop or a swift break from the sweet rhythm of the cruise, then a double front brake disc and rear single unit, controlled by ABS, will fill the action with a swift press of the finger.

 The 5-inch TFT curved display supports simple navigation projection and shift guidance. The menu system is easily navigated by the intuitive handlebar switch. The 700MT ‘T-box’ is optional and has a built-in 4G module and 6D sensor, which can enable a vehicle-phone Bluetooth interconnection and real-time view of vehicle positioning, mileage and other key data. The 700MT’s everyday road practicality is lifted with the provision of both Type C/ Type A USB charging ports; added to meet the needs of different mobile phone models.
