Husqvarna Vitpilen 401

Husqvarna has showcased the 2020 iteration of the Vitpilen 401 at the 2019 EICMA. The brand has updated the cafe racer with new paint schemes and a new bolt-on subframe, which extends the rear by 40mm for improved rider comfort.

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is based on the KTM 390 Duke, hence it’s powered by the same 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. It belts out 43.5PS 37Nm, mated to a 6-speed transmission. That said, the motor is likely to be Euro 5/ BS6-compliant.

It uses a trellis frame, with an upside down front fork and a monoshock from WP. Disc brakes at both ends paired with dual-channel ABS help anchor the bike. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is expected to be launched in India only in 2021.
