Test Ride: Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 // The Urban Explorer!

A very nice viewer offered to let me try out this 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. I showed up expecting a simple 400-class standard bike, but was surprised to find something with one foot solidly in scrambler territory. I have never ridden any other street-focused bike that tackles rough pavement as effortlessly as the Svartpilen 401 does. A punchy thumper, striking looks, and high-quality finishing round out this excellent little package. If I were looking for a gas-powered motorcycle that I was going to use for 90% or more urban riding, this super fun machine would be at the very top of my list.

[@radiotrin37]

@@GameOn82 Very much so! For a beginner bike, as a first time rider, it is the absolute perfect motorcycle. I can tell that I may outgrow very fast, in terms of power and top end. But it has great torque and is just a pure joy to ride. After the first 600 miles (and once the first service is performed), it really opens up, since the rev limiter is increased. It is quite nimble, you can carve up streets. I have been advised to change to street tires since I predominantly ride on street but I love the look of the Pirelli knobby tires. For the cost and power to weight ratio, you cannot beat this bike!

I love this bike. I recently downsized from a Z900 and would have loved to get one of these, but none were available locally. Picked up a CB300R and even though it's down on power compared to the Svart401, it's got enough for me. I love the sound of a single being wound out!

[@VanBlamm]

Nice! The CB300R is tough to beat for the money. What made you want to downsize from the Z900? I ask because I once downsized from a CBR600RR to a TU250X and never looked back. The CBR was meant for the riding I had aspired to do, but the TU was perfect for the riding I was actually doing. CBR600: expectation. TU250: reality.

I haven't driven it yet, only sat on it once at a dealership. Being 6',10" weighing 400lbs I'm not used to be able to sit comfortably on smaller bikes and still be able to have a good reach to the shifter. Is there any one bigger that has tested this bike? The looks, price and feel of the bike is just awesome. And as a Swedish guy it's always nice to ride something with a local heritage. For those who don't know, Husqvarna is a small town in south of sweden where the company started some 100 years ago. Svartpilen is Swedish and means "black arrow". Even though Husqvarna Motorcycles no longer belong to sweden, but to Austrian KTM, It's still a worthy successor to the Husqvarnas of old.

[@VanBlamm]

I didn't know Svartpilen meant black arrow, that's cool. I am guessing that means Vitpilen translates to white arrow? If you're interested in a taller Husqvarna model, there's always the new Norden!

[@VanBlamm]

You make a good point, and I wish I'd mentioned it in the video. The owner said he considered upgrading to the 701, but is opting for a new Speed Twin instead, partly because of the weak KTM/Husqvarna support network in our area.

[@luisribeiro4267]

If that was only the case in the US... HUSKY has a FUNtastic lineup, based on already proven KTM hardware.... and still It lacks the general Brand image and public awareness even here in EUROPE Since ADV’s are a current trend, I’m hopping the upcoming NORDEN 901 model will bring the spotlight to the Brand, which it totally deserves. And YES, I would put my money in opening up a HUSQVARNA dealership any given day... 👍🏼 Here is hopping for better coverage and sales figures in the future HUSKY 🍺🍻😋

Hi, a question. Im a newbie and got a bit confuse of the clutch lever adjustment. I am more comfortable with the numnber 5 but what does those numbers mean actually? Have to dig on my manual but just got it yesterday this bike

[@VanBlamm]

It simply adjusts how far the lever sits from the handlebar. If you have big hands and long fingers, you may want to set it further out. If you have small hands and shorter fingers, you may want to set it closer in. The setting does not change the functionality of the clutch in any way, only the resting position of the lever.

I am not convinced that it actually has one. I tried upshifting under acceleration without using the clutch, but it gave me a lot of resistance and I didn't want to force it and risk harming someone else's bike. Looking around online, it seems there are many Svart 401 owners who can't tell whether or not their bike actually has a quick-shifter. Yes, it can be forced to shift without the use of the clutch, but so can most bikes. Husqvarna's documentation is very unclear on the matter.
