A playful single-cylinder, dual-sport performer, the ES 700 is a big-bore bike that's perfect for mixed surface riding. Branching out into the street bike sector and creating the ES 700 GASGAS, we utilized in-house expertise, fresh thinking, and cutting-edge technology to produce a bike that delivers a distinct and playful riding experience. All the power from the single-cylinder, 692.7cc motor is delivered through a super-cool ride-by-wire throttle system, which guarantees a crisp throttle response and gives a highly accurate delivery of the motor's linear power. The bike is also loaded with the latest in electronic rider aids, which allows you to fine-tune the ES 700 to be just the way you like it. And with a state-of-the-art ABS system, and Brembo brakes, you'll always be in control. And, if that isn't enough, the ES 700 boasts incredibly long service intervals of 10,000 kilometers, so you can rack up some serious distance in between trips to your local dealer. |

HIDDEN MAGICThe hidden magic that helps make the ES 700 so much fun to ride! State-of-the-art electronics ensure that all riders can adjust the power delivery to perfectly suit their riding style, allowing everyone to set-up the motorcycle's performance just the way they like it. With switchable ride modes the power characteristics and traction control can be changed on the fly while lean-angle sensitive traction control ensures perfect rear wheel grip in all riding conditions. Or, for those that want full power at all times, traction control can be turned off altogether! And, a Quickshifter ensures super smooth and efficient up and down shifting without the need to use the clutch. |
Quickshift +Doing exactly what its name suggests, the Quickshifter ensures super smooth and efficient up and down shifting without the need to use the clutch. Leaving you free to shift whenever needed, two sensors - one to detect movement of the shift lever rod and a second that detects gear engagement - take care of the clever stuff, meaning no matter how hard you're accelerating, you can always hook the next gear. When it comes to downshifting, the system matches the engine speed to the speed of the lower gear for seamless downshifting. |
MAP SELECT SWITCHTwo ride modes for double the fun. Even when on the move you can switch from one ride mode to the other, adjusting the power delivery whenever you need to. Mode 1 - street mode - gives a crisp throttle response together with cornering sensitive traction control. We like to think of it as the controlled street riding performance mode! Mode 2 is the supermoto mode on the ES 700 - a more specialized 'get the job done better' mode. On the SM 700, it provides a smooth throttle response with Supermoto traction control, which allows for Supermoto-style wheel drifting and the front wheel to lift. Optional Supermoto ABS is available with the purchase of a dongle to remove rear wheel ABS for improved rear wheel feedback in off-road conditions and for Supermoto slides on the tarmac. |
OFFROAD RIDE MODESerious off-road fun starts when the Off-road Ride Mode is engaged! Smoothing out the power to give a torquey throttle response, the built-in traction control system has been developed specifically for riding off-road. In tighter turns, this mode allows the rear wheel to spin and break traction for carving sharper lines. When you get straightened up, the front wheel can be lifted, allowing you to attack rough terrain with ease. |
TRACTION CONTROLLighting up the rear wheel exiting turns is so much fun. But on a day-to-day basis, it's not always what you want. That's why the lean-angle sensitive traction control system monitors rear wheel speed and reacts immediately (within milliseconds!) if the rear wheel's turning faster than the bike's overall speed. Jumping in to momentarily reduce the engine output, a smooth and barely noticeable reduction in power prevents any unwanted rear wheel sliding. Once things have settled down, full power is restored. For riders looking for total control of their motorcycle, traction control can also be completely switched off. |
CORNERING ABSGetting you stopped, quick! The ES 700 is fitted with the very latest braking technology - a Bosch cornering ABS system. With the ABS switched off more experienced riders can push their limits. But when switched on, the technology ensures strong, progressive braking that removes any unwanted rear-wheel lock-ups or scary over the bars moments! The system also features advanced rollover protection, which works under heavy braking when in standard ABS mode. |
RIDE-BY-WIRESmart technology that results in the perfect power delivery. With a 50mm throttle body, the Keihin electronic fuel injection system does away with the need for a traditional throttle cable! Controlling the throttle valve electronically, the Engine Management System (EMS) continuously compares engine parameters with data from sensors to adjust the throttle valve accordingly, resulting in perfect power delivery and throttle response. Additionally, it also provides a super impressive throttle response, specifically from slower speeds. |
OFFROAD ABSThere's also an optional off-road specific ABS mode, which only applies ABS intervention to the front wheel. This ensures not only exceptional braking on loose surfaces but allows for the rear wheel to be locked, for controlled and quick changes in direction. And for those who are a little more daring, the ABS can be switched off completely, which allows riders to have total control over their braking for a real connection with the terrain and unrestricted off-road fun. To turn it off, all you need to do is press and hold down the ABS button on the dashboard for approximately three seconds. Simple! |
