The redesigned aluminium swingarm makes the motorbike more agile, which adds to its beloved responsive handling and gives the rider great input. Modern innovation is on display with the Svartpilen 401 with its Bosch Dual Channel ABS, ByBre brakes, and adjustable WP suspension. A 5" bonded glass TFT display, premium paint finish with decals, and 17" spoked wheels contribute to the recognisable flair of the Svartpilen 401.
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a reasonably priced motorcycle that offers a lot of features and performance at a reasonable price. It is priced at 2.92 lakh (ex-showroom) and is Rs 19,000 cheaper than the KTM 390 Duke.
Husqvarna Vitpilen 250
The Vitpilen 250 stands out as a nimble and minimalist urban Roadster, offering an ergonomic design that combines lightweight agility with surefootedness, ensuring an immersive and guaranteed riding experience. This model shares significant features with its larger-capacity sibling and offers optimal performance with WP suspension, ByBre brakes, and dual-channel Bosch ABS. Designed with the upcoming generation of young riders in mind, the Vitpilen 250 features an upright riding stance and an outstanding power-to-weight ratio. The new 5" LCD screen, a premium paint job with decals, WP suspension, and sturdy 17" cast wheels all contribute to the bike's high-end construction.
The Vitpilen 250 shares its 249cc single-cylinder engine with the KTM 250 Duke, which is liquid-cooled and produces 31bhp at 9,500 rpm and 25Nm at 7,500 rpm. It's almost the same frame, suspension, and braking gear except that the Vitpilen has a 13.5-litre fuel tank instead of a 15-litre tank on the Duke.
At Rs 2.19 lakh (ex-showroom), the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a steal of a deal. It's Rs 20,000 cheaper than the KTM 250 Duke, but else it's almost identical in terms of construction and electronics.
