2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen & Vitpilen 401 Review – First Ride

Bolstering the quiver Photos by Kevin Wing The Vitpilen and Svartpilen lineup has seen a bit of a tumultuous timeline at Husqvarna – at least the bigger variants have. The 401 models originally teased at EICMA in 2014 have been going strong since the production models hit dealers back in 2018, and perhaps it has its orange sibling, the 390 Duke to thank for that.
