If you love the 401’s styling but it isn’t fast enough for your

…Husqvarna has now got you covered.

March 19th Husky is set to introduce the 801 Svartpilen on March 19th. Fans of Husky’s naked bike styling will no doubt be pleased with the introduction of the big brother version of Husky’s ever-popular naked bike lineup.

While specs will not be available before the official launch date, it is likely the 801 will mirror many of the KTM 790 Duke numbers. This means claimed horsepower should be in the neighborhood of 105 with 64 ft.lbs. of torque.

Some features we would expect to see on the 801 would be a TFT display with adaptive illumination, ride modes (Sport, Street, Rain, and Track), traction control, lean-angle-sensitive traction control, anti-wheelie mode, launch control, throttle response settings and Motor Slip Regulation (MSR).

Considering the 790 is currently one of the all-around best middleweight naked bikes providing an excellent price-to-performance value, if the 801 stays consistent with the KTM’s $9,200 MSRP this husky will be a great choice for riders looking for styling that is a bit more conventional up front but still stands out in a crowd.

HUSQVARNA MOTORCYCLES CONFIRMS SVARTPILEN 801 PRODUCTION FOR 2024

Husqvarna Motorcycles is looking forward to the highly anticipated unveiling of its latest and largest displacement street machine – the 2024 Svartpilen 801 – on March 19. The all-new middleweight model has been engineered to deliver a powerful combination of performance, agility, and contemporary style to take riding to even greater heights.

Weighing just 399 lb (181 kg) and powered by a compact, parallel-twin engine, 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 maximizes control and performance 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 tires played a vital role in developing a truly versatile motorcycle that encourages you to escape the ordinary.

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.
