AJPPR7
A single-cylinder thumper to take you to the ends of the Earth
Portuguese manufacturers AJP are offering refreshing take on the class with the PR7. The 600cc single cylinder engine may not be at the cutting edge of technology but it’s a proven unit used by both Husqvarna and SWM. With six gears and a balance shaft to reduce vibration it has the ability to easily handle road miles and will cruise all day between 70 and 80mph giving it solid longdistance credentials. The throttle connection is crisp and accurate, too – meaning you know exactly what the rear wheel is doing on the dirt, enabling you to find grip while having the power to wheelie over obstacles. Tipping the scales at 165kg fully fuelled and ready to ride it’s close to 100kg lighter than the current glut of big capacity adventure bikes, making the PR7 a truly capable bike off-road. Easy to ride, highly capable and an awful lot of fun – if off-road and adventure appeals then this could well be your perfect all-terrain bike.
