Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 2025

Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 2025

The Vitpilen 801 sets visual accents that clearly distinguish it from the Svartpilen. The bi-LED projection headlight is surrounded by halo LED daytime running lights, giving the front end a more modern look. In addition, the aluminium tubular handlebars have been mounted lower and further towards the front wheel, making the ergonomics more active and sporty. The manifold fairing extends further down and gives the look an additional touch of sportiness. Compared to the previous "701" generation, the new Vitpilen is far less radical and much more suitable for everyday use. The in-line two-cylinder engine, which is already familiar from other Pierer Group models, offers a great riding pleasure experience. The engine's smooth throttle response and revviness are particularly successful. A great engine for the country road! The quickshifter from the accessories is definitely an absolute recommendation. If you also add the optional cruise control and heated grips, the 801 Vitpilen is a great companion for everyday use and travelling. For the latter, it is not only absolutely suitable due to the relaxed knee angle and good seating comfort, the low fuel consumption is also a positive feature.
