Husqvarna will produce the Svartpilen 801 starting 2024
Husqvarna Motorcycles is thrilled to announce that the Svartpilen 401 will now have a bigger brother, the Svartpilen 801, which will be unveiled this coming March 19, 2024.
The Svartpilen 801 will be Husqvarna Motorcycle’s largest displacement street bike upon its launch.
Weighing just 181 kg and powered by a compact, parallel-twin engine producing 105 PS, Husqvarna claims that the Svartpilen 801 offers a dynamic power-to-weight ratio. The versatility of the Svartpilen 801 is enhanced further by its array of electronic rider aids, including a quick-shifter for seamless gear changes, as standard.
A class-leading technology package maximizes the riding experience and safety throughout every ride. As part of an extensive testing process, the Svartpilen 801 prototype was ridden on both a flat-track oval and an ice track. This diverse program of sideways action and stunning ice rides on spiked tires played a vital role in developing a versatile motorcycle that encourages you to escape the ordinary.
The distinct and minimalist style of the new Svartpilen 801 is achieved by a selection of striking components that combine to create a unique, scrambler-inspired motorcycle. Slimline ergonomic bodywork wraps neatly around the engine and frame for unrestricted movement while the steering damper and adjustable WP suspension provide exceptional comfort on every ride.
While the full specifications and technical data for the new Svartpilen 801 will not be released until March 19, it is no secret that the KTM-owned company shares many of its models’ components with the models from its Austrian parent company. That said, it is highly possible that the Svartpilen 801 may share many of its components, including the engine, from KTM’s 790 Duke.
