We’ve seen the new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 prototype testing on a public road, albeit in camouflage livery. The final production version of the Svartpilen 401 is scheduled to arrive, but we can already observe several vital details that are new compared to the current model.

A larger-than-life ‘bike’, it’s easy to think the 2019 update of Husqvarna’s 401 didn’t bring much. And that would be wrong because they did. They got more paint colours, graphics, and a few other things, like a 40mm longer subframe and a wider rear seat. However, the drivetrain and engine remained untouched.

Sharp Brakes with BOSCH ABS

The ByBre brake callipers on the Svartpilen 401 are modelled after the brake callipers found on other Husqvarna siblings. Unforgiving when needed and confidence-inspiring when you push them in cornering. A single piston runs on an oil bath from the master cylinder. 

The centre disc is perforated, and a radial return spring controlled by a self-adjusting mechanism reduces lever force for a light feel. If you’re riding slowly through city traffic or fast on winding country roads, the Svartpilen will keep you in control.

The BOSCH ABS allows the bike to respond immediately, at any speed, whether riding through puddles on the road or around sharp corners.
