Made-in-India Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 launched worldwide, but not in India

Husqvarna has introduced the all-new Svartpilen 125 in the brand’s street line-up targeted towards the new generation young riders and urban explorers. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 comes with a full Euro5-spec powertrain with low fuel consumption, eccentric body design and premium suspension and braking equipment. 

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 is powered by a Euro5 homologated 125cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine matched to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine is speculated to be based on the KTM 125 Duke which pumps out 14.5 Bhp of power and 12 Nm of torque. The Svartpilen 125 tips the scales at 146 kg dry which gives the motorcycle an excellent power to weight ratio.  

The Svartpilen features WP APEX 43 mm open cartridge forks on the front and a WP APEX monoshock on the rear. The Svartpilen 125 also features hydraulic ByBre brakes and Bosch ABS technology. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 features 17-inch spoked wheels on both the front and rear shod in Pirelli tyres. 

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 features a rounded full-LED headlamp with integrated LED daytime running lights, LED indicators, LED tail lamp, a muscular fuel tank, eccentric side panels that extend to the tail, chopped off fenders, full-digital instruments cluster, bench-style seats, a wide and upright handlebar, exposed steel trellis frame with black powder coat finish, bronze coloured engine covers, anodised parts, and dark grey body colour. 

The 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 will be available from February 2021 in select markets. The brand has not revealed the price as well as the availability of the Svartpilen 125. The brand is also expected to launch the motorcycle in the Indian market soon. Currently, Husqvarna retails the Vitpilen 250 and the Svartpilen 250 in the Indian market, which features a KTM 250 Duke derived 248cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine that produces 30 PS of power 24 Nm of torque matched to a 6-speed unit.
