Swedish motorcycle maker Husqvarna has priced the Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250 at Rs 1.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The motorcycles were unveiled at the India Bike Week, Goa in December 2019. Husqvarna, a leading premium motorcycle brand of Swedish origin, is a part of the KTM Group and has been brought to India by Bajaj Auto to complement the KTM brand.
Husqvarna Motorcycles will be sold out of KTM showrooms which have been upgraded to sell both KTM and Husqvarna brands. At launch starting early March, the Husqvarna twins will be available at 100 showrooms across 45 cities. Over the next 5 months the footprint will expand to almost 400 KTM showrooms across 275 towns.
The Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen have a unique Swedish design language. The Svartpilen 250 has a more rugged design with an upright stance. It comes with dual purpose tyres and is capable of taking both on and off-road journeys. The Vitpilen250 has a sportier design, clip on handlebars and a front lean riding position.
The 250 cc machines feature a fuel injected, liquid cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke DOHC engine. With a compact chassis design, WP suspension and premium quality components, the Husqvarna twins ensure dynamic performance and great riding comfort.
Husqvarna is one of the oldest motorcycle brands in the world and has been in continuous production since 1903. It has dominated the world of motocross racing over the years and has achieved iconic status in the western world for producing premium high-performance machines with their outstanding Swedish build and craftsmanship.
Bajaj Auto through its Probiking business unit launched KTM motorcycles in India in 2012. KTM has been hugely successful with its high-performance sports motorcycles, selling over 250,000 units since launch. Last year, India became the largest market for KTM globally and in return helped KTM become the World’s number 1 premium performance motorcycle brand by volume. Bajaj Auto plans to replicate the success of KTM with Husqvarna motorcycles by targeting the lifestyle segment.
