Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 – The Urban Explorer Redefined

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a bold fusion of Scandinavian minimalism and raw motorcycling spirit. Designed for riders who demand performance, precision, and individuality, the Svartpilen 401 stands as a true urban explorer — equally at home in city streets as it is on open highways. Its rugged styling, lightweight chassis, and advanced technology make it one of the most distinctive and capable street bikes in its class.

At its heart, the Svartpilen 401 is powered by a 399cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine, delivering 44 PS of power and 39 Nm of torque. This engine, shared with the KTM 390 range, offers exhilarating performance with a smooth, responsive throttle. Mated to a 6-speed gearbox and assist & slipper clutch, it ensures effortless gear shifts and superior control — whether you're maneuvering through traffic or carving corners on weekend rides.

Built around a lightweight chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame, the Svartpilen 401 offers exceptional rigidity and agility. Its WP APEX suspension system — 43 mm USD front forks and preload-adjustable rear monoshock — provides precision handling, absorbing bumps and imperfections for a stable, confidence-inspiring ride. Combined with a low kerb weight of just 160 kg, the bike feels nimble, responsive, and fun in every environment.

Adding to its versatility are the spoked wheels with dual-purpose Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, offering superior traction on both urban roads and light off-road trails. The ByBre braking system with 320 mm front and 230 mm rear discs, along with dual-channel ABS, delivers exceptional stopping power and safety in all conditions.

Riders will appreciate the upright ergonomics, comfortable seat height (835 mm), and wide handlebars, which make for an engaging and relaxed riding position. The 13.5-litre fuel tank ensures ample range for long commutes or spirited rides, while the LED headlight and taillight provide modern illumination with distinctive design flair.

The Svartpilen 401 comes equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT display and ride-by-wire technology, offering precise throttle control and connectivity through Husqvarna’s smartphone integration system. The bike also features cornering ABS, traction control, and Quickshifter+, elevating rider confidence and convenience.

Visually, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 embodies a minimalist, industrial design philosophy — a perfect balance of form and function. Its matte bodywork, rugged tank grips, and bronze-finished accents make it instantly recognizable. Every element is crafted for riders who value both style and substance.

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 isn’t just a motorcycle — it’s a statement of individuality, performance, and freedom. Whether you’re navigating tight city lanes or exploring the outskirts, the Svartpilen 401 delivers an unforgettable riding experience that combines modern technology with timeless design.
