Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 – The new Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a cutting-edge concept, a progressive single-cylinder designed to guarantee a pure and electrifying riding experience. Above all, it represents the return to the road motorcycle segment.

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is the new concept of street motorcycle according to Husqvarna. The new single-cylinder engine is housed in a minimalist but absolutely high-tech layout. At the heart of the basic idea and inspiration that gave rise to this motorcycle are functionality, simplicity and practicality. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is free of any inappropriate fairing, accessories or gadgets. The guttural tone of the single-cylinder engine and the neutral riding position signal that this is what you need for an essential and exciting motorcycling experience. “You don't need much to have an authentic driving experience. The Vitpilen 701 is there to discreetly remind you what riding a motorbike really means.He said Craig Dent, Head of Design, Husqvarna Motorcycles. Viptilen is Swedish for white arrow and proudly reflects the heritage and Swedish origins of the Husqvarna Motorcycles brand. Its setting in motion is a discreet, streamlined, concentrated and impactful action.

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a motorcycle created from scratch to be modern and cutting-edge. Although inspired by the same design approach that produced a classic in the 1950s, it is completely new, completely modern and in no way a remake or tribute to a motorcycle of the past. Just as the Silverpilen was revolutionary for the time it was released, so too the new VITPILEN looks forward, reinvents and leads in a new direction into the future of motorcycling.
