Husqvarna Svartpilen 801

The 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 steps into the limelight, replacing its predecessor, the single-cylinder Svartpilen 701, as the flagship model in the Svartpilen lineup. Evolving from a thumper, it now boasts a 799cc parallel-twin engine, delivering 105 hp, all nestled within a lightweight chromium-molybdenum frame.

The neo-retro scrambler is powered by a 799cc LC8c twin-cylinder engine that roars with 105hp and 64.16 ft-lbs of torque, offering an exhilarating ride. Its signature tank and low-profile tracker-inspired tail create an unmistakable silhouette, accentuated by a circular LED headlight and high-mount exhaust.

Equipped with a suite of cutting-edge technology, including a connected 5a€ TFT display, ride-by-wire throttle, and four ride modes, the Svartpilen 801 ensures an immersive riding experience. With adjustable WP APEX suspension, J.Juan braking hardware, and Bosch cornering ABS, this motorcycle offers precision control and safety.

Despite its robust performance, the Svartpilen 801 maintains a sleek profile, tipping the scales at just under 400lbs. Its alloy wheels and distinctive design cues pay homage to its predecessor while ushering in a new era of neo-retro styling. Watch the video below
