Husqvarna has given what it says is the biggest technical updates to its naked road bike range since 2018. The Vitpilen and Svartpilen models, in both 401 and 125 guises, feature new engines, new chassis and new styling. A new steel trellis frame with an aluminium swingarm forms the backbone of both models and provides a longer wheelbase and slightly lower seat height. Both the 125cc and 399cc single-cylinder engines are now Euro 5+ compliant and provide 15hp or 45hp respectively. The 401 models are equipped with cornering traction control, switchable rider modes, adjustable suspension and cornering ABS. The learner-friendly 125cc shares the cornering ABS. The Vitpilen and Svartpilen 125 models are £4899, while the 401 models are £5599.
