Stunning Bodywork
Husqvarna's next is a smart and stylish beast. For all its impressive performance features, the 2021 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is one of the most stunning-looking bikes we've ever seen. Whether standing still or taking on the road, the all-new Vitpilen model is a sight to behold.
An example of innovation and elegance at its best, it would be an understatement to say that the makers at Husqvarna have paid utmost attention to detail while assembling the 2021 Vitpilen 401. This road monster features an intricately designed chassis paired with a sturdy mainframe. An authentic mix of classic thinking and Swedish bike design, this Vitpilen model showcases a well designed, narrow chassis, predominantly painted in a rustic-silver hue, with the occasional, unapologetic shine of bronze-hued patches adding to its color contrast. The number 401 has been labeled in the same rustic silver color scheme, right at the center of a dynamic spherical black patch on the tank. The 17-inch anodized spoked wheels add to the style quotient of this Husqvarna beast. However, these wheels offer a lot more than just adding to the Vitpilen 401's good looks. These adonized spoked wheels are incredibly robust, offering premium reliability no matter what the conditions are. What's more? This bike features a digital display unit to help you with all the necessary information while you're on the go. Adding to the splendor of the all-new Vitpilen 401 model are front and rear lights. These headlights and rear lights are built using the latest LED technology with designer styling that offers advanced lighting and visibility to the rider. The makers at Husqvarna have ensured that style and comfort go hand-in-hand. High-quality foam and leather fabric seats are installed to enhance the luxury of your seamless long rides. A glance at the seat won't reveal much, but it has been built to optimize comfort and enhance ergonomics.
Dynamic Street Riding
A dynamic ride requires a robust engine, coupled with the perfect technical prowess to master the streets. And the 2021 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is a fine example of a dynamic ride. This Husqvarna monster features an electric starter to fire up the engine even in unfavorable weather conditions. At the heart of the all-new Vitpilen 401 is a modern 373cc single-cylinder engine. It has the capacity to generate 37Nm of torque and a peak of 44 horsepower (32 kW). The impeccably powerful and compact engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. To enhance the ride experience, the makers have installed an "easy shift sensor" linked to the gearbox, to allow seamless shifting between the gears without any inconvenience. Furthermore, the bike has a liquid cooling feature to keep the temperature in check. This beast also boasts an electronic fuel injection system operated by a ride-by-wire system to deliver refined and controlled power. For a brand that is constantly trying to push the boundaries, it is hardly a surprise that the 2021 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 scores a 10/10 in terms of the ride experience.
A Bike For Everyone
For all its good looks and enhanced riding experience, the 2021 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is a reliable and agile friend. It is the ultimate motorcycle for everyone: whether you're a street racing pro, a daily rider, or a rookie who's just getting started. As the makers themselves claim, the Vitpilen 401 is an unassuming hero of the sub-500 cc world. And it shows once you get your hands on this Husqvarna beast. It has everything a rider desires in an ideal bike: surefootedness, a considerably lighter weight (a dry weight of just 332 lbs), and an immersive riding position that guarantees helmet-hidden smiles. It is almost like you're guiding it with a featherlight touch, rather than "riding" it. A fuel tank capacity of 2.5 gallons makes the 2021 Vitpilen 401 ideal for your daily rides. Ride safety has been taken care of, thanks to the two-channel Bosch 10.1MB ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System). The ByBre brake calipers fitted into this Husqvarna beast are of the highest quality. These brake calipers combine with 320mm front and 230mm rear perforated steel discs to deliver a smooth and confident braking performance.

No matter what the price, we expect the all-new Vitpilen model to be a raging success once it takes on the streets.
