The Vitpilen 801 from Husqvarna Mobility features a balanced chassis, Bi-LED projector lens headlight and roadster aesthetics. It is powered by a compact parallel-twin engine designed for urban and open-road riding. The Vitpilen 801 is available in two color options and complements the Svartpilen 801.
The Vitpilen 801 is equipped with a DOHC, 799 cc parallel-twin engine weighing 114 pounds (52 kilograms) without oil. It includes active crankcase evacuation and a semi-dry sump lubrication system, offering service intervals of 15,000 kilometers.
The motorcycle includes electronic rider aids with four ride modes: Street, Sport, Rain and customizable Dynamic mode. Features such as Easy Shift, cornering ABS and cornering MTC enhance the riding experience.
The chromium-molybdenum steel frame uses the engine as a stressed member, minimizing weight and enhancing agility. The WP APEX suspension is adjustable, offering 140 millimeters of fork travel and 150 millimeters of shock travel in addition to the cast alloy 17-inch wheels that are fitted with Michelin Road 6 tires.
The Vitpilen 801 includes a J.Juan brake system and Bosch ABS for effective stopping power. The Power Assist Slipper Clutch ensures stability under braking and maximizes traction during acceleration.
A 5-inch TFT dashboard with an optically bonded mineral glass display is positioned in front of the handlebars. The Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app provides Turn-by-Turn navigation and options for controlling phone calls and music when connected to the motorcycle’s Connectivity Unit..
