Bajaj Auto has announced prices of the much-awaited Husqvarna twins in India – Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250. The motorcycles were unveiled at the India Bike Week, Goa on 6th December 2019.
Husqvarna, a leading premium motorcycle brand of Swedish origin, is a part of the KTM Group and has been brought to India by Bajaj Auto to complement the hugely successful KTM brand.
The Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250 have been launched at special introductory pricing of INR 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
Husqvarna Motorcycles will be sold out of KTM showrooms which have been upgraded to sell both KTM and Husqvarna brands. At launch starting early March, the Husqvarna twins will be available at 100 showrooms across 45 cities. Over the next 5 months, the footprint will expand to almost 400 KTM showrooms across 275 towns.
The Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen have a unique Swedish design language which is understated, minimalist, elegant and hence extremely differentiated from any other motorcycle in the premium motorcycle segment.
The Svartpilen 250 has a more rugged design with an upright stance. It comes with dual-purpose tyres and is capable of taking both on and off-road journeys. The Vitpilen 250 has a sportier design, clip-on handlebars and a front lean riding position.
The 250 cc machines feature a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke DOHC engine that produces punchy torque at the highest levels of engine refinement delivering a dynamic and fun-filled riding experience. With a compact chassis design, WP suspension and premium quality components, the Husqvarna twins ensure dynamic performance and great riding comfort.
The motorcycles are powered by a liquid-cooled 248.8 cc engine which produces 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. The motor is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox with multi-disc slipper clutch.
The bikes feature a strong and lightweight steel trellis frame for responsive handling, high-quality WP APEX suspension with upside-down forks, Bosch Dual Channel ABS system, LED headlight and taillight and 17-inch cast aluminium wheels.
The Husqvarna motorcycles are targeted at progressive urban riders seeking a performance lifestyle machine. They have an evolved taste & appreciation of style but do not want to compromise on performance.
