Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - First Ride Review

The new redesigned and upgraded Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is finally here in India. KTM's Swedish cousin has a fresh new look and is bringing some competition to the other scramblers released in the market. Apart from the strikingly unique design, the motorcycle has some clean upgrades. I share my opinions on this Swedish beauty in this video.

Thank you so much

[@shantiwari9356]

Bro the cinematography 🥶🥶 Treat to eyes

[@user-tg2pb8ld2i]

5feet 7inch 170cm for someone who want to know and also video is so ~~good thanks

[@panshulverma4292]

will you do more videos on duke 390

[@user-qq5kv2oq6x]

Adding to the fact the svartpilen is not a scrambler well not every bike with spoke wheels is a scrambler tbh.. it doesn't even have 19 inch front wheel or a bit long travel suspension to be called as a scrambler so this is just a neo retro naked just like the cb300r but with a spoke wheel🎉

[@yingyangorca4124]

How does the engine handle and cope with the heat in summers.

[@deepaksrinivasmondal]

Good review! I think the Adv bias is the reason behind the dissatisfaction with the ergo, since most people seem to think this is more comfy than the D390, but as you pointed out, a handlebar riser can solve that issue. Looking forward to more bike reviews!

[@SpilTrez]

Yeah! That's what I thought. Thank you so much

[@PraveenKumar-bm2sg]

@@SpilTrezany idea as to if anyone got the upright ride posture fixed with handle risers on the 401 yet?

Man, I'm just lusting over the sunny weather our biker brothers are having in the south. Here in Delhi, we have not seen proper sun in the past 1 month except for 1 day, and hence not able to go for rides. Just enjoying watching ride reviews as of now. Good review, brother!

[@SpilTrez]

And, I'm the opposite, I like riding in cold atmosphere. It's convenient in many ways. Thanks for the support man

help .. delhi is burning now

3:18 : Actualy, Hus stands for House. And Qvarna roughly translates to mill. in a way. So like, Mill House.

[@vamanpolle]

Is the brand offering tubeless alloys as an option?

[@leoncelestinedave]

You can swap the swatpilen 250’s alloys from the company it’s a straight fit

[@herbertrayner2718]

I think you're the first Indian youtuber who pronounced the name of the bike correctly. Amazing content btw and keep up the good work!

[@SpilTrez]

I did my research, haha. Thank you so much

[@anandsalim579]

2 things, First, the pronunciation of the brand HUSQVARNA. Its not HYUSKVARNA.. its HOOSKVARNA.. Second, its styled based on the neo retro styling phylosophy. Infact one among the first bikes to be styled in this manner from 2018. Good cinematography.

[@harsh-bd1ty]

3:07 A valid point.

[@SpilTrez]

Damn right :D

[@clutch-zilla9957]

Retro Futuristic 😁

[@chetanshivling185]

Retrofuturism...

[@ashm9760]

What would you pick between this and the scrambler 400x.

[@maniacram]

This definitely. Scrambler is too old fashioned.

[@sud5529]

Nice review, but when discussing brakes please add in the type of piston (radial, axial, number of pistons etc) and type of pads along with just the disc size. Disc size by itself is quite meaningless. Also for tyre replacements- think the Apollo Tramplrs are available as a replacement for this. Given that this is a 110/150 17 inch on both ends, can use pretty much any street tyre if you're not all that keen on the so-called scrambler look.

[@JohnHenkamGangte]

It's Hue-sk-verna and not Huskvarna?

[@SpilTrez]

yes, it's more like Hue-sk-vaarna!

[@RiderReview]

Good video

[@RAFFTARTRADING]

it looks dystopian but cool.

[@SpilTrez]

Right, I agree

The term you were looking for might be "neo retro" or "neo cafe".

[@niladribasari3481]

When NFS comes in Bike version

[@gigachad9163]

It can be called a neo retro.

[@skjana06]

they're called neo retros!

[@thinkingaloud7925]

bruh NeoRetro is a word, in Honda dictionary, they doin it with their CBs

[@cyrankowski22]

The bike looks more as a bike not as a toy as the previous versions which were very skiny

[@sushobhonkonar1155]

you sound like strell

[@SaurabhPatel3093]

Why are most bike reviewers so ciritcal about the rear mudguard/tyre hugger and insist on tail tidy ? Arn't you supposed to be the one promoting functionality over looks ? Does it look good: Yes. Is it practical: Hell No. I myself am not satisfied with the mudguard and trying to find a tyre hugger so there's less grime and dirt splattered across the rear section. Also Duke 390 and 401 have same TFT display duke's is not bigger.

[@wolfpackpete6408]

Forgive the ugly number plate holder because it prevents all the crud from going over the bike and onto the rider's back

[@mattdoespushups2350]

Audio quality could do better. Too much husq blast . Just feedback. If you know what i mean 😏

[@SpilTrez]

Haha, I see you. Noted, will fix it in the upcoming videos :)

[@-Deepak-M]

Decent but with many irrelevant quips and comments. Like 6 mm lesser ground clearance needed a highlight.

[@ontheroad8149]

This is a first ride impressions, not a review. The photography and cinematography is splendid - no two ways about it - but thats about where it ends. Cant wait for the detailed, actual review from MotorInc where they actually discuss in detail about things like daily usability and frame, chassis etc. Seems like the Bajaj group sends out invites to those who have a subscriber count and these content creators call these reviews. Thats why I have never subscribed to any channel including this as I do not want to be a statistic to this nonsense, especially the collab with Shoaib or someone (the AoM guy). One of my friends still has a doubt as to whether the clutch plates on his Himalayan were fried or not as they werent willing to work in their presence, and the original issue of hard gear shifts still persists after a big bill. They dont even do an engine oil change in owners presence by giving the convenient excuse of bikes being there, and not informing when they start work on their bikes - pretty much like a RE service center. He may have been good at repair in the earlier days but not now - pretty much the story of every social media "star". Me and many friends of mine who owned/own Himalayans are of the same opinion - high prices and substandard service, whereas Big Bear Bengaluru has been doing a great job and also getting to meet Arun - a no nonsense man who gives you the freedom to put which oil you want, inspite of loudly promoting Motorex unlike them who seem to be hung up over Motul 7100, a different grade of oil itself - even 5100 or Liquid Gun will do the job, but requires a replacement at a lesser interval.

[@SpilTrez]

Hello, thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to watch videos that you aren't interested in. Your comments and interactions also add up as stats (FYI). It is unlike me to encourage such attention seeking comments, but all my videos involve a lot of time and effort apart from the regular schedule that I have, and if they aren't something you enjoy, then you are more than welcome to change the video. Please do not send such discouraging opinions when people are doing what they love. This holds true for any other content creator on any platform. Please understand that the first ride review is a short term review as we have very little time to spend on the bike. It usually is a gist of the main noticeable features of the bike. A more detailed review can be made at a later point of time.

[@sumandevulapalli7042]

This comment deserves pin of shame

[@bladeofmiquella1887]

​​@@SpilTrezDude, please dont get discourage with comments like this. There are those who like him, and there are thousands like us who appreciate your hard work. Keep it up my dude. You deserved more than this.

[@murlibhat]

This is not a review. You should rename the title of this video to spec comparison with Duke 390! I also wonder how many viewers actually have seen how Duke 390 reviews to understand the comparison!

[@archak737]

very bad review. Just specs and brand history.

[@AdityaDevSultan]

Yea it was really a bad first impression review. Not a single point was rightfully spoken about
