Only graphics updates for the 2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen 401 for next year, while the 250 cc version gone from the lineup, replaced with the Svartpilen 125.
Sharing mechanical underpinnings with the
KTM Duke 390, the pair of naked sport Huskies carry the Euro 5 compliant 373 cc
mill from the Duke that puts out 44 hp and 37 Nm of torque. As per its Duke
sibling, power gets to the ground via a six-speed PASC slipper clutch equipped
gearbox, with chain final drive.
Standard equipment includes WP APEX
suspension for the front forks adjustable for compression and rebound, and
preload-adjustable monoshock in the rear, while Husqvarna’s Easy Shift
quickshifter gives quick shifting. Braking is done by Brembo’s budget house
brand Bybre, with single hydraulic callipers front and rear on 17-inch wheels,
controlled by two-channel Bosch ABS.
Weight for the 401 is listed as 152 kg
sans fuel for the Svartpilen and 151 kg for the Vitpilen and seat height is set
at 835 mm. Fuel is carried in a 9.5-litre tank and LED lighting is used
throughout, with the instrument panel a digital LCD display.
