2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401: Rugged and Timeless for Urban Adventure
Contents
The Svartpilen 401 from Husqvarna’s 2022 lineup unashamedly sports a brutal style. But, by definition, this bike feels at home on the metropolitan fringe, where the asphalt has more imperfections.
Harnessing its light and hard-hitting engine to navigate suburban streets, it is a master of its domain. The 2022 colors and graphics enhance the stunning appearance and reflect the progressive blend of modern thinking and classic design in keeping with the brand’s Swedish heritage.
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is one of the market’s most outstanding and ‘pure’ European A2 bikes. Its progressive and robust style, developed by KISKA, is one of its hallmarks and a benchmark for its segment. Moreover, this bike knows how to mix inspiration from the scrambler world with more avant-garde lines, resulting in a spectacular neo-retro look.
The upright and dominant position, mixed wheels, and spoked rims are reminiscent of the off-road world. Its versatility allows it to go out on different surfaces but truly shines in the city. Its 373 cc single-cylinder engine and 44 hp give it great dynamism and capabilities, making it compatible with the A2 license.
This bike has WP APEX suspensions, Pirelli tires, ByBre brakes, and Bosch ABS. It also features Easy Shift, allowing clutchless changes up and down the six-speed gearbox.
The 2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401starts at $5,799 USD / $6,899 CAD.

2022 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 Features
Engine
The Svartpilen 401 is powered by a modern 373cc single-cylinder engine that is remarkably compact. With 37Nm of torque from low down in the RPM range and a 6-speed gearbox, it is perfect for urban riding. The electronic fuel injection is operated by a ride-by-wire system and delivers a controlled and refined power. With a peak horsepower of 32 kW (44 hp), the SVARTPILEN is accessible to a wide variety of riders, while its lightweight construction means the power-to-weight ratio will also excite more experienced riders. For added convenience, the gearbox is linked to an easy shift sensor which allows the rider to make seamless up and down shifts without the use of the clutch. The sensor works by relaying the moment the rider actuates the gear lever to the ECU which in turn matches engine parameters to allow a simple gear change at any RPM or engine load.Frame
The trellis frame is central to the Svartpilen 401 character and agility. Made from high strength chromium molybdenum steel using hydro formed tubes and robot welding, the frame is not only strong but also lightweight ensuring nimble handling and detailed feedback to the rider. Designed with specific flex characteristics, the frame works in harmony with the WP suspension to offer a comfortable and confident feel combined with a tight turning circle for ease of use in urban environments. The optimized subframe is extended by 40 mm for improved comfort when accompanied by a pillion rider.Brakes
