Remarkably, Husqvarna’s scramblerstyled Svartpilen range is almost 10 years old, having first been revealed as a concept back in 2014. Ever since then, the model has stayed strictly single, from the original 401, to the flagship 701 and the more recent learnerlegal 125. Now, for the very first time, a Svartpilen is available with a twincylinder engine.
This new 801 replaces the discontinued 701 but broadly follows the same Svartpilen formula: distinctive modern/retro styling, built around the mechanical foundations from a KTM Duke. In this case, it’s the 790 Duke – a bike that’s now, slightly confusingly, actually built by CFMoto. So what do we really have here then? Is this simply a rebadged version of an alreadyrebadged bike? Or is the Svartpilen 801 really unique enough to deserve a spot among the increasingly crowded world of paralleltwin roadsters?
