SVARTPILEN 401 - HARD ENDURO, ROCKS, MUD, AND BAD TYRES

Limit is very quickly reach when going off road with this bike. The difference of speed with the enduro bikes (@0:42) says it all.. Not made for that.
Too much gas and you loose traction. Not enough and the engine stall.

Crazy that this video does not have more views!? I was searching for videos of the capability the Svartpilen has offroad and this is by far the best video showing what this bike can actually do offroad. Good stuff!

[@mcmarine777]

Agreed, I was looking for something like this too . everyone else’s videos take the bike thru even dirt and some grass. Looks like he kinda beat the shit outta the bike in some parts of the ride!

[@dukie1616]

Wow👏 You are showing us what that 401 can get through. Thank you for risking your life and limbs to do so, lol. Seriously that was pretty cool!

[@leatherneck69]

Pretty cool to see someone out there wheelin' the Svartpilen. Shows how versatile these bikes are, yet still with their limits.

[@gothops154]

You’re a braver man than me. No way would I have taken that out in such conditions

[@benzinschnueffler187]

Husky should release a 401 Enduro and a 401 Supermoto

[@JCBigCat]

Yes! Also a 701 and a 401 Norden.

[@Auto-Minute]

401 Supermoto would be legit...and finally be another option to the amazing (...but extremely outdated) DRZ 400 SM.

[@michaelsupple6081]

Clearly not it's natural habitat but very impressive. Thanks for posting. It would be great for your average forest service roads on a camping trip. Especially when you would be traveling on a fair amount of tarmac to get there. Good to know it'll do more if asked.

[@ax5022]

Crazy good video, love to see what the svartpilen can do in my own hands!

[@jeremykydd2149]

Hi im in New Zealand & I'm looking at purchasing one of these awesome bikes. Great to watch you exploring it & your limits 😀 was also great to see your speed increase as you went on. Please keep the great videos coming

[@johnsolimine1164]

The primary problem with riding the Svartpilen on dirt is the footpeg location. The secondary problem is the seventeen inch front wheel. The Svartpilen and Vitpilen are configured as road racers... footpeg location is major. Also... the chainguard is wholly inadequate for keeping dirt off the chain.

[@jasonw833]

Great video, definitely gave a run for it's money. I think with hard knobby tires it would actually be versatile.

[@bertinfreckmann6553]

The PIRELLI Scorpion Rally STR are the best Allround M+S Tires you can get !!! Even many BMW R 1250 GS and R 1300 GS Motor Bikes , are equipped or converted with these Tires !!! The main Purpose of use is 70 % Tarmac and 30 % light Offroad (No thick mud or/and Rocks !) But You know/mentioned this !!! They are the best in Rain and cold Weather (CANADA!) !!! Your riding offroad Skills are phenomenal !!! BUT maltreating the precious HUSQVARNA only for...let´s guess three Miles above Rocks etc. ...is "damaging" every Motor Bike extremly and means comparable wear and tear 30000 Miles on normal Tarmac !!! I couldn´t do this to any Motor Bike and additionally I´ve not the courage / skills...but YOU !!! "Paris Dakar" light...great Vid and so I´ve just subcribed !!! Nevertheless a extraordinary Vid !!! I hope You´re in good Health and You´ve purchased additionally a HUSQVARNA/GAS GAS/KTM , Enduro Motor Bike ?! All Models from HUSQVARNA and BMW R 1250/1300 GS are ruling !!! TAKE CARE !!!

[@MM-en2cm]

Yes! That is awesome! Have you thought about putting taller tires to give you a bit more clearance?

[@DarkSuperRunChao]

Pro: it CAN go offroad and hold it's ground Con: it's not the ideal offroad bike, far from it. Conclusion: multipurpose will never excel at anything, but it will do what it has to do.

[@bakengkong1791]

jack of all trades but master of none..

[@alexicon_]

awesome video! such a gnarly trail! i appreciate your attempt, so i don't have to lol! still it's an incredible bike, just gotta bring the right tool for the job ;D

[@CampbellZeroOne]

Great stuff! Been trying a bit of this myself lately 👌🏼 Nothing as extreme as you though.

[@godislove7545]

4:41 looks like a lot of blood on the trail

[@bjjw]

Just got the 22 year model and it shut-off mid ride for no reason. Checked with a dealer and they got now clue about it. Did you, or anyone here with the bike had any issues with this?

[@douglasrrhine6329]

Did the front fender clearance issue present itself ?

[@ChillPusit]

have you hit any rocks that have caused damage? also is your skid plate stock?

[@jolmanvargas4938]

creo que con una volante mas alto y ancho te seria mas comodo, pero igual esta genial, tremenda moto

[@jemirandav]

Definitely not it's territory. The 401 was crying for tarmac.

[@Eatfast]

Keep it up brother

[@maxshams2834]

Hello . For yours bike svartpilen for pratice off road, all parts its original.thanks you

[@1222dan]

How have the fork seals held up?

[@svartmontpellier7839]

thank you for your video, I think to do the TET with my svart but im not sure when I look your video lol :-) I have a channel to, take a look

[@randykrus9562]

Not the right tool by any means....but you did it.

[@ikariku]

haciendo cagar la moto

[@binario2008]

El hecho de tener cubiertas on/off no significa que se pueda hacer enduro con esa moto. Es una moto de calle o como máximo también huellas amigables. Que daño usar así la moto.

[@gianlucasenes2264]

Click bait, where is the hard enduro? Be brave and go do double blips on that
