Husqvarna

Husqvarna has been caught testing the next-generation Svartpilen 401 in the U.K.

The Svartpilen burst into the scene in 2018 as a friendly dinky retro motorcycle for new riders.

However, fast forward to 2021, the Bajaj build small capacity motorcycle has since facing stiff competition from other major brands.

Looking at the spy shots by MCN, the Svartpilen 401 features a similar engine setup as the new KTM Duke 390 and RC390.

While not much can be said about the new-gen Svartpilen, one of the most striking changes is the new steel trellis frame.

It also features a new design, notably the exposed frame and sub-frame previously hidden by extensive bodywork. Other significant changes include a new swingarm that is now bolted to the back of the frame.

The test mule also features a new radial front brake calliper which should improve the motorcycle braking capabilities.

Judging from the new bodywork, it is safe to assume that the Svartpilen has received a significant overhaul instead of just a revised Euro 5 engine.

Currently, the Svartpilen 401 is powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine capable of producing 44hp @ 9,000rpm and 37Nm @ 7,000rpm.

While we don’t think there could be a major power boost from the new engine, the new motor could offer an improved rev-range than its predecessor.

Husqvarna has unveiled its entire electric motorcycle and scooter concept ahead of IAA Mobility Show in Munich.

This is the first time the Swedish company has rolled out all three electric vehicles to the public.

 

Starting off with the Husqvarna Vektorr, the electric scooter gives out a very futuristic vibe.

While it may look fast, the e-scooter tops at just 45km/h, making it suitable for every range of riders. However, the low speed helps boost the range to 95km, thus ideal for city use.

 

There’s no word yet what sort of power it uses, but it is unlikely it will carry anything larger than a 3kW motor.

Next is the Husqvarna E-Pilen concept, which was first unveiled back in April.

Compared to the Vektorr, the E-Pilen portrays similar design cues from the gas-powered Svartpilen and Vitpilen, thanks to a circular shape LED headlamp and almost the same tank that now fits three battery setups.

Husqvarna claims the E-Pilen is powered by an 8kW motor capable of delivering a top speed of between 100-120km/h with a maximum distance of 100km.

While both models look promising, there is no guarantee that any of these two-wheelers will make it to the production line anytime soon, but there’s nothing wrong with putting our hopes up.

Husqvarna has unveiled their first-ever adventure motorcycle, the 901 Norden, ahead of the official.

The 901 Norden is the Swedish firm first attempt into the competitive mid-range adventure motorcycle market.

According to reports, the all-new motorcycle is currently in its final stage and is build based on 889cc parallel-twin engine taken from the KTM 890 Adventure.

However, the 901 Norden offers a different architecture thanks to its Kiska, the same company responsible for designing the Vitpilen dan Svartpilen motorcycle.

Interestingly, the 901 Norden delivers the same design aspect of the concept model shown at the 2019 EICMA in Milan.

You can catch all the latest videos of the 901 Norden on Husqvarna official YouTube channel.

While it might not show you the whole picture, but it definitely can get you feeling excited about the new adventure bike.

Shortly after announcing the E-Pilen electric motorcycle, Husqvarna pulls the wrap over Vekktor, another electric concept for the future.

Openly intended for urbanites seeking compact and practical personal transportation, the Vekktor concept is Husqvarna first electric scooter.

Husqvarna claimed the Vekktor develops a top speed of 45km/h with a range up to 95km.

Alongside the E-Pilen, the Vekktor projected the company vision for urban electric mobility.

The Vekktor and E-Pilen can be view up close at KTM Motohall in Mattighofen, Austria, including another Husqvarna concept, the Blitz, a foldable electric scooter.

The Vektor and E-Pilen reflect Husqvarna vision to expand zero-emission mobility in the future.

Ketika pengeluar dua roda lain yang sudah memulakan projek elektrik, Husqvarna juga enggan ketinggalan apabila mendedahkan E-Pilen, motosikal elektrik sulung syarikat itu.

Berdasarkan rekaan, Husqvarna E-Pilen jelas menampilkan elemen rekaan sama seperti yang terdapat pada Svartpilen dan Vitpilen.

Seperti motosikal elektrik lain, E-Pilen juga memperlihatkan rekaan panel yang sama di bahagian tengah, bagi memuatkan tiga pek bateri.

Meskipun tiada info mengenai bateri yang diguna pakai namun berdasarkan saiz motosikal tersebut, bateri terbabit mungkin hanya menawarkan 1.5kWh setiap satu.

Melihat kepada rekaan (konsep) E-Pilen ini, jelas Husqvarna membina jentera tersebut bagi kegunaan kawasan bandar dan bukannya untuk tunggangan jarak jauh.

Menurut Husqvarna, E-Pilen mampu pergi sejauh 100km sebelum perlu mengecas semula bateri.

The Husqvarna Norden 901 was first introduced as a concept at the 2019 EICMA, and it quickly gained attraction.

The motorcycle was first spotted in December last year in an all-black form, but this time, there is a pinch of KTM orange at the front fender, which we find odd.

Nonetheless, Husqvarna decided to retain most of the design from the original concept. The circular full-LED headlamp flanked by auxiliary lights helped created an entire identity for the motorcycle.

Based on the KTM 890 Adventure, the Norden 901 packs two-part fuel tanks to increase gravity’s low centre.

The 901 is also expected to be powered by the same 898cc parallel-twin engine, and it could also come with radar assist cruise control found on the 2021 1290 Super Adventure S.

The Husqvarna Norden 901 is expected to be launched sometime this year as a 2022 model.

Pierer Mobility appears to electrified the future of Husqvarna Motorcycles by introducing an all-electric scooter in 2022.

Unlike the current model that combines modern and retro design, the expected electric scooter will offer a futuristic design.

Dubbed the E-01, the scooter looks like something that came out of the latest Cyberpunk 2077 console game.

Based on reports, Husqvarna plans to roll-out the new motorcycle this year; however, it was moved to 2022 due to apparent circumstances.

Rushlane reported that the E-01 would share the same platform with their India counterpart, the Bajaj Chetak.

Given KTM’s partnership with Bajaj, it is expected Bajaj in India will build the Husqvarna E-01.

The current Bajaj Chetak offers a friendly power output of 15hp.

Bagi memperkembang rangkaian pelanggan termasuk penunggang baharu, Husqvarna memperkenalkan Svartpilen 125 2021.

Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 merupakan usaha baharu jenama Sweden itu dalam menawarkan jentera yang ringan (146 kilogram) dan mudah dikendalikan bagi penunggang baharu.

Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 ini tampil dengan enjin 125cc satu silinder (Euro 5) yang menawarkan 15hp pada 9,500rpm dan 12Nm dan dipadankan dengan transmisi 6-kelajuan.

Menurut Husqvarna, motosikal ini berkongsi ciri sama seperti abang besar, 250 dan 401 Svartpilen antaranya fork depan 43mm WP Apex, mono-shock WP Apex, penggunaan lampu LED penuh serta ABS.

Mengekalkan rekaan keseluruhan yang sama seperti model 250 dan 401 juga satu keputusan bijak kerana hakikatnya Svartpilen sebuah motosikal ‘urban’ yang penuh gaya.

Persoalannya, adakah pasaran Malaysia akan turut ditawarkan model 125 ini setelah Husqvarna Motorcycle Malaysia telah pun melancarkan Svartpilen 250 dan 401 baru-baru ini.

According to Husqvarna, this baby Svart is heading for the global market; hence we might have the chance to catch the smallest displacement Svartpilen here in Malaysia.

The 125 is seen as a good move by Husqvarna to extend the brand towards younger motorcyclist.

As you expect, the 125cc single-cylinder, liquid cool with twin overhead camshaft engine is now Euro 5 compliant and produces 15hp at 9,500rpm and 12Nm.

The bike features ByBre disc brakes, WP Apex 43mm front fork (the same you get on its bigger siblings 250 and 401 Svartpilen), WP Apex rear mono-shock, and complete LED light set-up.

Braking is done by Bosch ABS while the machine runs on a pair of 17-inch wheels complete with Pirelli tyres.

Husqvarna listed the dry weight at 146 kilograms and in our book (even with a full tank of gas) this baby Svart is pretty lightweight hence should be relatively easy to manage for younger and newer riders.

Husqvarna just shared the latest teaser via YouTube that confirmed a small displacement motorcycle is coming for 2021.

The 22 seconds teaser showed what looks like a Svartpilen that is scheduled to launch today, February 3.

Why Svartpilen you asked? The glimpse of the handlebars just gave it away since Vitpilen uses clip-on.

We are assuming a downsized version on the Svartpilen perhaps a 125 or 150 due to Husqvarna portray the bike as a beginner-friendly motorcycle meant for younger riders.

Nevertheless, we have to wait for the official launch that is due today, and perhaps we might see a glimpse of the adventure-based Norden 900 too?
