Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 global reveal on March 19

Weighing just 181kg and powered by a compact, parallel-twin engine producing 105hp, the Svartpilen 801 offers a dynamic power-to-weight ratio. The versatility of the Svartpilen 801 is enhanced further by state-of-the-art electronic rider aids, including Easy Shift for seamless gear changes, as standard. A class-leading technology package meanwhile maximises 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 tyres played a vital role in developing a truly versatile motorcycle that encourages you to escape the ordinary.

According to the company, “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.”
