Higher and straighter roadster style handlebars are fitted together with black anodised, forged aluminium triple clamps that feature a revised offset to improve stability. In keeping with the minimalistic look of the authentic design, the handlebar-mounted dashboard only displays essential information - speed, fuel level, and the selected gear.

The aesthetically formed, 13-litre fuel tank is a central feature of the Vitpilen 125. Contributing to the distinctive look of the machine, 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.

A new bolt-on trellis subframe lowers the height of the one-piece rider and pillion seat to 820 mm, to ensure the Vitpilen 125 accommodates a wider range of riders. Comfort is assured thanks to the revised curvature of the seat foam and the high-quality materials used to manufacture the cover.

The Vitpilen 125 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 cornering sensitive 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.

The Vitpilen 125 is equipped with multiple electronic rider aids to improve its usability. The ride modes offer two power settings - Street and Rain. Street is engaged as standard while Rain can be activated in adverse weather conditions for a less aggressive throttle response. On top a speed limiter function allows riders to set a cruising speed that will not be exceeded even with the throttle fully opened.

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 Vitpilen 125.

Revised ergonomics ensure an enhanced riding experience. A more upright, comfortable riding position is achieved with a higher handlebar and increased dimensions. At the same time, reduced standover height helps to have a secure stand when coming to a stop, thanks to the improved rounder seat shape. 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.

The six-spoke, 17" wheels are a design highlight of the Vitpilen 125. Offering style and stability, the wheels are also robust and reliable. Michelin Power 6 tyres are fitted for their exceptional grip and predictability on the asphalt.

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.

With the Connectivity Unit fitted as standard, the Vitpilen 125 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.

A new and improved 5" TFT dashboard with a bonded glass 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.

The Vitpilen 125 has an immobilizer fitted as standard to provide anti-theft protection.

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 7,500 kilometres after an initial oil change at 1,000 kilometres.
