2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 Launched

The 2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 has finally been launched, following in the footsteps of the Svartpilen 801.

True to Husqvarna’s brief as being the heritage lineup in Pierer Mobility, the new bike carries a neo-retro look. The rest of the bike, apart from the tank, look adapted from the KTM 790 Duke R. So, of course, there are many shared components.

Highlights of the 2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801:
  • 799cc, LC8c parallel-twin engine which produces 105hp and 87Nm of torque.
  • Service intervals have been increased to 15,000km.
  • Chromium-Molybdenum-Steel frame using the engine as stressed element, powder coated.
  • Adjustable WP Apex 43mm forks, and adjustable WP Apex monoshock.
  • J.Juan brake calipers at the front and rear, Cornering ABS is standard.
  • Standard ride modes are Street, Sport, and Rain. Owners can add on the Dynamic pack which unlocks the Dynamic ride mode.

  • The optional Dynamic Pack allows owners to customise the ride modes and 10 traction control levels, 5 levels of Anti Wheelie control, and Motorcycle Slip Regulation.
  • The quickshifter called Easy Shift is available as an option.
  • Cruise control is also an option.
  • 5-inch TFT dash with smartphone connectivity via the app.

  • A DRL ring surrounding the central LED projector headlight.
  • Weight without fuel is 180kg.

The 2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801’s price has not been revealed.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
