Husqvarna Motorcycles has launched the 2024 Svartpilen 801, a cutting-edge and robust naked bike. With its blend of power, nimbleness, and modern scrambler-style aesthetics, the Svartpilen 801 stands as the newest and biggest displacement model in our range. Designed to enhance the thrill of road riding and break away from the norm, this extraordinary motorcycle sets a higher bar for middleweight street bikes.
With a weight of only 181 kg, the Svartpilen 801 boasts a robust and lightweight chromium-molybdenum tubular steel frame that strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity. Its core is powered by a formidable 799 cc parallel-twin DOHC engine, coming in at just 52 kg when dry. This engine churns out an impressive peak power of 105 hp and is equipped with advanced technologies that not only guarantee reliability and efficiency but also extend service intervals to 15,000 km while maintaining an incredibly low fuel consumption rate.
Combining a lightweight engine and frame, the Svartpilen 801 achieves an ideal power-to-weight ratio, delivering a continuously spirited and maneuverable experience. To further enhance performance, a Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC) system ensures optimal traction during intense acceleration and stability when braking hard. Additionally, the Easy Shift function allows for seamless gear changes. Boasting adjustable WP APEX suspension with 140 mm of fork travel and 150 mm of shock travel, this bike offers both comfort and control whether riding in the city or on the outskirts. Its Pirelli MT60 RS tyres are mounted on 17″ wheels, providing superior grip and responsive handling.

The Svartpilen 801 boasts a sleek, minimalist appearance thanks to high-quality elements like LED lights and aluminum handlebars. These components combine to form a distinctive and visually appealing street bike. Its slender ergonomic bodywork, coated in dark tones, seamlessly wraps around the engine and frame. Plus, the two-piece seat not only provides comfort but also allows for unhindered mobility.
The Svartpilen 801 offers advanced electronic assistance for an enhanced riding experience. For even greater performance on the street, consider opting for the Dynamic Pack. Along with standard adjustable Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) and ABS, Street, Rain, and Sport ride modes are also included. The Dynamic Pack also features Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) for smooth deceleration and an Anti-Wheelie mode to prioritize safety by limiting wheelie angle.
With a top-of-the-line technology package, riders can experience effortless operation and optimal performance. The J.Juan braking system is equipped with the Bosch ABS system for unparalleled stopping power, especially in corners. More experienced riders can activate the Supermoto ABS mode to achieve a more intense braking sensation and a stronger connection with the road.
Premium electronic features, such as the 5” TFT dashboard and Connectivity Unit, contribute to the bike’s versatility and safety. Activating the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app on the unit allows for clear Turn-by-Turn navigation, as well as managing telephone calls and music selection. Additionally, handlebar controls include a Hazard Warning system while immobilisation protects against theft.
