The Vitpilen 401 is a hidden hero in the half-liter category. Its driving poise, lightness and immersive riding position translate into constant smiles hidden in the hull. You pilot it more than you drive it thanks to the light touch of it as a feather. She reacts to your slightest hint of trajectory, responds with total lightness and conveys everything the road has to offer thanks to her low semi-handlebars. She offers a rhythmic and sensory ride, which is in tune with both newcomer and more experienced riders.
ENGINE & GEARBOX
The VITPILEN 401 is powered by a modern, extremely compact 373cc single-cylinder engine. With 37 Nm of torque from idle and a 6-speed gearbox, it is perfect for urban use. Electronic fuel injection is managed by a ride-by-wire system and offers refined and controlled power delivery. With a maximum power of 32 kW (44 hp), the VITPILEN 401 is accessible to a wide spectrum of pilots, while its lightweight construction offers an equally attractive power-to-weight ratio also for the most experienced. For added convenience, the gearbox is linked to an Easy Shift sensor that allows the rider to shift up and down gears smoothly and without using the clutch. The sensor works by transmitting the moment the pilot operates the lever to the ECU, which in turn adapts the engine parameters to facilitate gear changes at any engine speed or load.
EXTERIOR
A minimalist style that combines classic ideas with modern design. This Vitpilen 401 is a clear example of Husqvarna Motorcycles' Swedish heritage. The slim and light bodywork is part of the futuristic and intelligent design of the Vitpilen 401, allowing total freedom of movement on the go.
