Hi Aaron I posted a comment 4 months ago since then I've put 6,000 miles on my 701. I just installed a Coober ECU And it's AWESOME.........It's transformed the driveability, response, Character, not to mention the seat of the pants experience.......my pants ARE STILL ON FIRE!!! Install one you won't regret it and the install is plug & play. Also a Wings Exhaust slip-on is due to be delivered in 3 days. These 2 upgrades march perfectly with the 701. Also immediately swap out the O.E.M. magura clutch slave cylinder with an Oberon replacement. Install it as soon as you get it. Don't be like me and have the stock one blow out on top of a Mountain 100 miles from home.......with the replacement Oberon on the work bench in the garage. What ever happened to Vol 2 of the Knox 701 upgrade?

My 701 (2019) I have changed quite a bit. Often it was my wife who suggested these changes, as I am usually one who doesn't like to dump much money into bikes. I am from a Motocross, Enduro, Trail and Dune rider this was my first legit street bike (I did ride sometimes my 520sx full tilt on roads to get to a new riding area which is legal where I am in Arizona). First one was a Seat Concepts seat. Do this, I cannot tell you how much it helps when you have a pavement section to do. Exhaust. I usually do that on my hard core supercross bikes, as I need a spark arrester, but this bike? Wow, huge difference, I got the Yoshimira must be 25% of the weight of the original thing. Here is the big thing with that exhaust too, remember it is also a catalytic converter, so it just belts out heat, it is super nice not having that dumb thing anymore. Acerbis handguards, I've tried Cyrca but they blocked my turn indicator and I kept looking like Grandpa Jenkins who has his blinker on 24/7. Tusk rear plate and 1 gallon rotopax (just installed this going to use it hopefully in 6 days if this covid-19 shit stops). Tires, I can't wait to see what you guys do for tires, I am currently using Heidenau K60. I've done some long dirt sections with them, and they are in my opinion better than the TKC's that came on the bike. I've done the El Camino Del Diablo from Yuma to Ajo, which was a shit ton of sand and what I call kitty litter. I've done the Mojave Trail, Whitemore Overloook (that was amazing), a bunch of stuff in southern Utah. They dance, they move around, but they do pretty well, where they shine is that pavement section home or back to the truck. I am on a never ending quest for tires, I want to try something different, but this is my 2nd rear Heidenau, it is almost due for a change (they last about 3000 miles). I have 7800 miles on my bike so far, it is not my primary mode of transportation, I use it to explore remote areas of Arizona/Cali/Utah. This summer I plan to do a ton in Colorado and Wyoming. Really curious what you all decide for tires, really curious.

Thanks for the input Gil, you've got a lot experience with the bike! Interesting ref the seat, may end up doing something with that in the long term depending on how much milage we do.

Great video, I have a 2018 701 enduro i have put almost 10,000 miles on about 60/40 doing backroads and camping/living off the bike for 5-10 days at a time with a few expert only sections offroad on it. I love the 701 i may upgrade suspension as it gets a bit bouncy on the road for some reason above 70 mph and wears the 50/50 front tire strangely. but off road it feels like a big version of my 300 xcw. I do not push the 701 like the 300 which I use for semi "hard enduro" however it does all things at least decent and most REALLY WELL. Great choice!

Just seen your video. I have the KTM 690 enduro R .... A few things, the exhaust is lethal, it will burn you if the bike falls on you. Look at a rally kit like the Rade or Nomad kits,. They are good value and make a massive difference for all round use and the lights are far better than standard. I changed my BMW 1250 GS for the KTM and love this little bike. If you want to get extra fuel capacity look again at the Rade Garage solution.. Good luck with the new bike.

Great video and I look forward to your next upgrades. I'm purchasing either the 701 LR or the KTM 790 Adventure R and am interested in which bike you've enjoyed more. I'm sure the 790 R is the better road bike, but how close does the 790 R come to the off-road abilities of the 701? The 701 is about 70 lbs. less than the 790 R, so I'm sure it's easier to handle off-road. Thanks for your thoughts.
@KnoxArmour3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Tom! Both are excellent bikes, but you hit the nail on the head, the 790R is a way better road bike. You can ride the 701 Enduro no problems on the road, and it is quite fun actually, but doesnt have any where near the refinement of the 790 Adventure R. However, off road is a different story, the 701 is so so much easier to ride and more capable than the 790R. We tackle terrain with ease on the 701 that we struggled with on the 701... but it depends how rough off road you want to go really and how good a rider you are. Hope that helps. Aaron KNOX

Is it the back to high for riding off road ?

Hi, depends how tall you are really. To be honest, most enduro/off road bikes are pretty tall and this one is pretty average. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

@@KnoxArmour Bremcanon said that the front is too low and the back too high . Is it true ? Nevermind the riders height.

@@KnoxArmour yeah they're the reasons im going to go for one ! i dont want to say im downgrading because i dont think it is a downgrade its just a side step, im currently on a 1190 adv and its great for long distance touring but as soon as you get it in the loose stuff its like you mentioned in the video it is just wayyy too heavy .. so taking a side step , get the 701 and do a build , rally screen soft luggage ect.. and have an extremely capable all rounder !! 😍

What a hell are you talking about?! Price is everything - 701 with rally kit costs far more than 790 adv R, in other words, you get less for much more money
@KnoxArmour4 жыл бұрын
Not exactly sure on the comment, but having ridden both models on and off road, in our opinion the 701 is much easier to manage and ride off road than a 790 adventure... at least for us. We ride trails on the 701 we wouldn't bother attempting on the 790. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

@@KnoxArmour Aaron, I mean that 701+rally kit (including fuel tanks) costs somewhere around 15k Euro if I'm not wrong. Yeah, I agree that it is much easier to manage than 790 adv, but with 790 for 14k you get an all-purpose bike, that can carry more luggage, a second passenger, ride on the high-way with higher speeds and offroad. KTM is a reasonable choice because after some time you will grow your skills and will be able to ride 790 almost everywhere. Spending 15k Euro just because this bike looks cool and covers lack in offroad riding skills, if so - buy FE 450 or 350 or 501. Best regards

Great video,great review, will you change the fuel tank with a larger one?
@KnoxArmour4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Zeta, probably not with regards to the fuel tank, we dont really need more fuel for our use and of course, it just adds weight... Thanks, Aaron KNOX
