Made in India Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 401 introduced in Malaysia
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 401 share the same 373 cc, single-cylinder engine of the 390 Duke which makes 43 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 37 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. The only difference is the slightly more committed, and cafe racer-type riding position of the Vitpilen 401, and different colours. The Svartpilen 250, based on the KTM 250 Duke, is the same-spec motorcycle that is offered on sale in India. It's powered by the same 248.8 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine that makes 29.5 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 24 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm.

Only the Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 has been introduced in Malaysia, and not the Vitpilen 250
While Bajaj Auto (which owns 48 per cent stake in KTM, and indirectly also owns the Husqvarna brand), has yet to launch the Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 401 in India, and it's still not clear if both models will be launched in India, considering the rather lacklustre market reception the Vitpilen 250 with its more committed riding position got in the Indian market. In any case, we expect the Husqvarna 401 to be launched in India in 2021, possibly with only the Svartpilen being introduced.
