You know, sometimes it’s not just about riding a bike—it’s about feeling something. That fire in your chest. That escape from the noise. That rush you get when you grip the throttle and feel the power connect with your spirit. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a whole mood. It’s wild, raw, bold—and it speaks the language of every rider who doesn’t just ride for commute, but rides for the feeling. For those who want something that looks like art, rides like a dream, and feels like freedom—this is the one.
A Bold New Look That Demands Attention
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is unlike anything else on Indian roads right now. This bike doesn’t try to fit in. It was made to stand out. With its rugged scrambler design, muscular tank, wide handlebars, and minimalistic yet aggressive aesthetics—it’s the definition of urban rebellion. The round LED headlamp bordered with a distinctive DRL ring, the chunky tyres, and the revamped panels all scream premium build. The 2024 model even adds subtle but striking touches like a new trellis frame (borrowed from the KTM 390 Duke), underbelly exhaust, and proper tail setup that elevate the design from cool to iconic. One look, and you know it’s not trying to impress anyone—it just is.
Power That Connects With Your Pulse
At the heart of the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a beast waiting to roar. Powered by a 398.6cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled BS6 engine, this machine delivers a breathtaking 46 bhp at 9000 RPM and 39 Nm of torque at 7000 RPM. What does that mean for you? Raw, responsive, and relentless power every time you roll that throttle. It reaches a top speed of 160 kmph—enough to make your heart race on highways, yet refined enough for city chaos. This is a bike that listens to your every move—ride-by-wire tech ensures crisp acceleration, and bi-directional quickshifter makes gear changes feel almost telepathic. It’s not just fast—it’s fluid.
Confidence in Every Curve: Brakes and Suspension
If speed is the thrill, control is the confidence. The Svartpilen 401 understands both. With a dual-channel ABS setup and disc brakes on both ends—320 mm at the front and 240 mm at the rear—braking is responsive, progressive, and solid. The adjustable WP Apex USD front forks and monoshock rear suspension work like a charm over potholes, city bumps, or curvy roads. Whether you’re darting through traffic or carving hills, the bike feels planted, composed, and utterly capable. It’s not just safe—it’s intuitive.
Comfort Meets Versatility in a Scrambler Form
Designed as a scrambler, the Svartpilen 401 doesn’t limit itself to city tarmac. It’s just as ready for trails as it is for boulevards. With a seat height of 820 mm and a kerb weight of 171.2 kg, it strikes a rare balance between accessibility and aggression. The 177 mm ground clearance makes it road-trip ready, whether you’re tackling rough patches or just hopping over city speed breakers. The step-up pillion seat is styled for comfort, offering both the rider and the pillion a firm, supportive position. And the 13.5-litre fuel tank means longer rides without the nagging thought of fuel stops.
Technology That Enhances, Not Distracts
This isn’t a bike overloaded with gimmicks—it’s got exactly what you need, and then some. The 5-inch TFT digital display is clear, colorful, and connected. It shows every ride detail at a glance and even supports optional smartphone pairing. A type-C USB charging port makes sure your phone doesn’t die while you’re out chasing sunsets. Supermoto ABS, traction control, and ride-by-wire systems ensure you’re always in control, no matter how wild the ride gets. From city runs to weekend getaways, Svartpilen’s features just make sense.
Mileage and Maintenance That Make It Practical
Let’s be honest—performance is great, but we ride every day. And Husqvarna didn’t forget that. The Svartpilen 401 offers an ARAI mileage of 29 kmpl, which is pretty efficient for a 400cc machine packing this much punch. The fuel economy combined with a 13.5-litre tank gives you a great range for both city and highway rides. And when it comes to service? The schedule is refreshingly rider-friendly. Your first service comes at 1000 km or 45 days, the second at 8500 km or 150 days, and the third at 16000 km or 240 days—simple, predictable, and practical. It doesn’t ask for much, but it gives you everything.
Price That Feels Like a Steal
Here’s the real game-changer: you can now own the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 at just ₹2.92 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. That’s not just value—it’s a revolution. A bike with this level of design, this kind of tech, this power, and this presence—at this price—is almost unheard of. It directly rivals models like the Yezdi Scrambler and Royal Enfield Scram 411, but comes in with a sharper, more futuristic vibe that feels both premium and different. It’s for riders who don’t want what everyone else is riding. It’s for those who want something more.
