Review
The Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 is the brand's latest and most powerful entry into the middleweight naked segment. Sharing its DNA with the KTM 790 Duke, this model distinguishes itself through Husqvarna's signature minimalist and modern design language. At its heart lies the 799cc LC8c parallel-twin engine, producing 105 hp and 87 Nm of torque, delivering impressive performance for both urban commuting and spirited canyon riding. With a dry weight of just 180 kg, the bike boasts one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class, while the chromium-molybdenum steel frame ensures high stability and precise feedback. On the hardware side, it comes standard with fully adjustable WP APEX suspension and J.Juan radial brake calipers. Technologically advanced, the Vitpilen 801 features a 5-inch TFT display, cornering ABS, traction control, and multiple ride modes (Street, Rain, Sport). An optional 'Dynamic Pack' adds features like motor slip regulation and anti-wheelie control. With its iconic round LED headlight and sharp lines, the Vitpilen 801 is an ideal choice for riders seeking a blend of high performance and unique aesthetics.
