ONE MAN - ONE VISION
It all started with Dimitri’s passion for innovation and improvement. After creating the pioneering magnetic roadbook and gaining the respect of the community, he set his sights on a new challenge: transforming the 701 Enduro into a true Rally Replica. With the help of his close friend Nicolas from Morphitech, the two spent endless hours prototyping, clay modeling, and designing. Their breakthrough came with the very first tank brackets that fit the bike without any frame modifications – the foundation of what would later lead to the 701 Lite kit, and the beginning of the Aurora story.

701 Lite kit
The Aurora 701 Rally Kit brings true rally engineering to the Husqvarna 701, combining a lightweight navigation tower, KTM OEM quality screen for improved wind protection, and better lighting options into a single, cohesive upgrade. Designed for riders who want greater comfort on long stages, clearer visibility at night, and more space to mount their GPS and navigation devices, the kit delivers the function and durability of a full rally platform without altering the bike’s frame.
KEY FEATURES
OEM | Aurora
Wind Protection
- Stock 701: Poor (nonexistent)
- Aurora 701: Much better airflow and stability, especially for riders 185-190cm (6-6.3ft)
Lights
- Stock 701: Very weak especially at night.
- Aurora 701: High performance options with Hella M60 and Baja Designs.
Space for wiring & Nav Devices
- Stock 701: Very limited
- Aurora 701: Dedicated backplate with AMPS mount and plently of space to safely arrange cables.
5 in 1 Deal
701 Xplorer = 701 Lite + Super 701
With our 5-in-1 Deal you can mix and match: start with the Lite and later on you can add the Super to build the full Xplorer. Even strip back your Xplorer with Lite panels. One platform, endless possibilities
UNIQUE TOWER DESIGN
Accidents are an inevitable facet of motorcycle riding. Towers equipped with crumple zones can significantly enhance instrument survival during crashes. Given that the tower houses all electrical components, it is imperative that no damage occurs during falls. Our innovative approach,combining materials and geometries, prioritizes impact absorption to ensure that the rider can return to a safe place to make any necessary repairs. Most of the parts can be bent back to shape or you can reorder only the damaged pieces.
What's in the box
Please note the tower details are now white instead of yellow.
Yes. The tower geometry lifts the airflow higher and stabilizes it, especially for riders over 185–190 cm.
The kit is street legal if you select the street legal light option (Hella Main / Hella High). We are also able to provide you with material specs on the aluminium used in the tower and clamp and the ABS used in the panels. Please send us an email for more details.
The kit adds approximately 6 kg total to your bike and removes 2kg of OEM parts. You get maximum light output and optimal wind protection.
The tower is engineered with stability and safety in mind. Unlike KTM factory tower clones that place weight and components too far forward, our design balances the center of gravity by mixing materials and varying thicknesses for optimal performance. Easy access to electrics, proper cooling, and energy-absorbing zones ensure that in case of impact, your gear stays protected and you keep riding—whether it’s to a rally bivouac or back home.
As of 2023 we are in our 4th generation CNC frame clamps. All the calculations are done to make sure that the frame clamp will be ready for rally racing use. The speed itself is not a good criteria to judge strength. You can go up to the maximum speed that the 701 will reach regardless the final ratio. The difficult part is the off-road riding and/or jumps/hits where the frame clamp is stressed the most. We have used data from accelerometers on navigationtowers on Africa Eco Race, commuting, motocross tracks, Hellas Rally and others. Both on the bike and the navigation tower actually. These forces are simulated in our CAD, and we do the analysis both for failure criteria, safety factors and fatigue analysis. See our technical blog for more information on how do we do it!All our CNC clamps are guaranteed for the life of the vehicle anyways and so far since 2016 we have zero failures on frame clamps. We intend to keep it this way!
Of course, you can purchase the Super kit which contains all the fueling and hydraulics you will need to turn your Lite to the Xplorer kit.
The height of the bike fully kitted out is approximately 150cm tall (not counting altered suspension).
