2024 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401. (Husqvarna/)
Overview
Husqvarna’s Vitpilen is a more asphalt-oriented variation of its close sibling, the Svartpilen 401. Like that scrambler motorcycle, the Vitpilen is über stylish and packs a ton of features for an entry-level machine.
Where its stablemate features spoked rims and knobby tires, the Vitpilen wears road-oriented rubber on its cast-aluminum wheels. And while this machine is much happier keeping the rubber on the tarmac, it’s otherwise equally as versatile. It’s powered by a 399cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with fuel injection, ride-by-wire throttle control, and multiple ride modes. It even comes with an up/down quickshifter and anti-theft device as standard.
The chassis features a steel-trellis frame, WP Apex suspension with 5.9 inches of travel at each end, a pair of ByBre brakes with a radial-mount four-piston caliper and 320mm disc at the front and a twin-piston 240mm disc setup at the rear. Bosch cornering-sensitive ABS is standard.
Other features that are rarely seen at this price include the 5-inch full-color TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, and LED lighting.
Pricing and Variants
The 2024 Vitpilen 401 has a $5,899 MSRP.
