[message]Husqvarna - Svartpilen 250 | 2024
On busy urban streets, the Svartpilen 250 rules the road. With its punchy new motor housed inside a lightweight chassis, reactive handling is assured, making navigating through cities an exciting affair. The confidence-inspiring, upright riding position ensures a commanding view of the road as you anticipate your next manoeuvre. This modern motorcycle is instantly recognisable thanks to its dark and distinctive blend of colours, which reflects the Swedish heritage of the brand.
01. The lines
Exterior
A unique appearance is created through the authentic mix of both classic and modern design. Lightweight and narrow bodywork curves tightly around the chassis enabling seamless rider movements while the machine's dark demeanour, rugged tyres, and protective parts like the flyscreen and skid plate ensure the Svartpilen 250 has an undeniably distinctive look.
Lights
New front and rear LED lights offer improved illumination, particularly in low-light conditions. By using the latest LED technology for advanced lighting performance and enhanced visibility, riding through urban environments is safer for both the rider and other road users.
Handlebar
Offroad style handlebars and risers are fitted together with stylish, forged aluminium triple clamps. In keeping with the minimalistic look of the authentic design, the handlebar-mounted dashboard is a large 5'' TFT display, which shows essential information like speed, fuel level, riding mode and the selected gear.
Tank
The perfectly formed, 13-litre fuel tank features a standard luggage rack, which allows riders to conveniently carry their belongings for added practicality. Contributing to the rugged look of the urban explorer, the tank cover seamlessly blends into the side panels to ensure movements on the machine are completely unrestricted. The tank is complete with an aluminium filler cap featuring the iconic Husqvarna Motorcycles logo.
Seat
A low-profile seat ensures accessibility at 820mm of seat height and blends neatly into the overall design. It is covered using a mixture of high-quality materials for superior comfort and durability. A pillion grab handle is also fitted as standard.
02. The thrill
Easy Shift
Easy Shift ensures all gear changes are as smooth as possible. Once the EMS registers movement on the gear lever, it momentarily limits power, which ensures smooth gear changes. For a simplified riding experience, the clutch is not needed when changing gear on the Svartpilen 250.
Single cylinder
Powering the Svartpilen 250 is a new, single-cylinder SOHC engine that is engineered with fewer components, and lighter, when compared to the previous generation. Remarkably compact, the modern engine offers improved weight distribution for refined handling and produces smooth and controllable power.
Brakes
The Svartpilen 250 is fitted with hydraulic ByBre brake calipers together with a 320 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc. A state-of-the-art Bosch ABS system ensures the highest levels of safety in varying conditions and includes a Supermoto mode that disengages the ABS at the rear wheel. All components are manufactured to the highest of standards to ensure controllable and confidence-inspiring braking performance in all situations.
Exhaust
Fully redesigned and carefully assembled, the new exhaust system meets EURO 5+ regulations thanks to its double catalyser system. Made from high-strength steel, the exhaust now offers a considerable weight reduction of two kilograms when compared to the previous generation. The silencer is complete with a premium matt black finish to complement the distinctive style of the Svartpilen 250.
03. The feeling
Frame
The new steel trellis frame is fundamental to the character and agility of the Svartpilen 250. Hydro-formed tubes are neatly robot welded together to create a frame that is not only strong, but low in weight. This assembly process delivers nimble handling and detailed feedback to the rider. Specific flex characteristics are engineered into the frame and together with the WP suspension, the Svartpilen 250 offers a comfortable riding experience.
Suspension
The WP suspension on the Svartpilen 250 is manufactured with the highest levels of quality and craftsmanship. At the front, the WP APEX forks are 43mm in diameter for dynamic handling and offer 150 mm of travel. At the rear, the shock offers the same travel while its progressive spring design soaks up bumps of all sizes with ease. The shock features adjustable preload and is connected directly to the swingarm for a heightened level of rider feedback.
Ergonomics
Revised ergonomics ensure an enhanced riding experience. A slightly longer wheelbase improves stability without sacrificing agility while the 15mm lower seat height places the rider closer to the centre of gravity. Together with a revised triple clamp offset, all riders will benefit from the confidence-inspiring riding position that has been created.
Wheels and tyres
The 17" cast alloy wheels are a design highlight of the Svartpilen 250 and feature a six-spoke aero design. Offering style, strength, and stability, the wheels are robust and reliable. MRF REVZ-C tyres are fitted as they offer predictability on a wide range of surfaces.
Swingarm
To accommodate the relocated off-centre WP shock is the new, cast aluminium swingarm. Offering carefully calculated rigidity for improved stability and predictable handling, the curvature of the swingarm not only creates a modern appearance, but also provides additional space for the new silencer.
04. The tech
Connectivity
With the Connectivity Unit fitted as standard, the Svartpilen 250 provides riders with various functions to enhance their riding experience. With a smartphone connected via Bluetooth, incoming calls can be answered, music can be played, and by using the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app, Turn-by-Turn instructions of the navigation can be followed on the dashboard. RCM, RemoteControl Mode, enables the rider to control the app with the handlebar buttons additionally it is the foundation for upcoming features.
LCD dashboard
A new and improved 5" dashboard with an LCD screen shows vital information to riders. The travelling speed, fuel level, and the selected gear are all clearly displayed and visible at a glance. It is controlled by the new backlight switch cubes on the left end of the handlebar.
Service
A new engine layout leads to improved performance, reliability, and serviceability. All filters are now conveniently located on the same side of the engine to speed up and simplify routine maintenance. Thanks to the advanced engineering techniques used to assemble the engine, the oil, oil filter, and air filter now only need to be replaced every 10,000 kilometres after an initial oil change at 1,000 kilometres.
