    Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 Summary

    The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 is a quarter-litre, scrambler-styled motorcycle which shares its underpinnings and engine with the KTM 250 Duke. The motorcycle will be sold in India through KTM dealerships and production is being carried out at Bajaj’s facility in Chakan.

    Husqvarna’s line-up comprises of Svartpilen and Vitpilen models, of which the former is a scrambler and the latter carries a café racer styling. The 250cc models bearing these names have been developed majorly for the Indian market. Notably, they borrow their styling from the Svartpilen 401 and the Vitpilen 401 which are currently available in the international markets.

    The Svartpilen is an amalgamation of a retro scrambler and a modern street bike in terms of design. It sports a round-shaped headlamp which is a full-LED unit. Sitting on top of it is a single-pod digital instrument cluster which shows ample of information. The angular fuel tank stretches up to under the rider’s seat and blends with a high-set, stubbly tail section integrating compact LED tail lamp. Lending it a scrambler appeal are the tall handlebar with brace, metal cladding on the fuel tank and rugged-pattern tyres.

    Coming to the hardware, most of the components such as engine, frame, suspension and brakes are the same as the 250 Duke. Its 248.76cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine clings on to a steel trellis frame. Damping duties are handled by upside down forks and a monoshock, both sourced from WP. Dropping anchors are a 320mm disc upfront and a 230mm disc at the rear, both accompanied by ByBre calipers. Dual-channel ABS comes as a standard fitment.

    In India, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 goes up against its own cousin, the KTM 250 Duke, along with other quarter-litre offerings including Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the Yamaha FZ25.

    Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 Review

    • Good Things

      • Unique styling
      • 250cc motor offers best-in-class performance
      • Dual-channel ABS comes as standard
    • Could be Better

      • Overall body proportions are quite compact
      • Priced quite high
      • Lacks pillion comfort

    BikeWale's Take

    The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 is a quarter-litre, scrambler-styled motorcycle which shares its underpinnings and engine with the KTM 250 Duke. The 250cc engine offers good performance and the gearbox works well too. What doesn’t work is the small body proportions, pricing and the pillion comfort.

        Unleash Urban Adventure: Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 Review

        33 weeks ago


        Abhishek

        The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 combines a rugged neo-retro scrambler design with a 248.8cc engine delivering 30hp. Lightweight and agile, it’s perfect for city commutes and light off-road use. Features include LED lights, dual-channel ABS, and premium build, though the 9.5L fuel tank limits range. I love this bike

        1 year ago


        Suhaas Binil

        You have to love the looks of this bike, not too flashy and absolutely beautiful. The Duke engine got plenty of bites, no complains, perfect for city rides. Ride comfort isn't great, you are gonna feel the bumps, but open roads its lovely to ride. Love the seating position, makes maneuvering through traffic quite easy and fun. Dual-channel ABS does hurt no one, The brakes have great stopping power, gonna come in handy.

        I visited the showroom and just took a test drive, it has an amazing shape and the power is incredible, the moment you sit and start the bike you will feel that you are the one made for it and it's the only one made for you, the structure has the best aerodynamic I've ever seen a bike, love husky.

        2 years ago


        Rajkumar Kannan

        Riding experience is overall is good, suspension could have been a bit softer. It’s hard to find neutral in this gearbox. The biggest con of this bike is the small fuel tank, but it is manageable. But in the looks department this thing is a beauty, people can’t stop complimenting me about the bike, in traffic stops, sometimes keep honking to ask me about the bike, even the traffic hawaldar. Overall it’s a good bike.

        I visited the showroom and just took a test drive, it has an amazing shape and the power is incredible, the moment you sit and start the bike you will feel that you are the one made for it and it's the only one made for you, the structure has the best aerodynamic I've ever seen a bike, love husky.

        Great to look at and fun to ride.

        Riding experience is overall is good, suspension could have been a bit softer. It’s hard to find neutral in this gearbox. The biggest con of this bike is the small fuel tank, but it is manageable. But in the looks department this thing is a beauty, people can’t stop complimenting me about the bike, in traffic stops, sometimes keep honking to ask me about the bike, even the traffic hawaldar. Overall it’s a good bike.

        Very bad service

        2 years ago


        Abuhurera Rajawat

        The bike is very good but the service center does not support people, they keep complicating the people in their talk, whenever the bike is taken, no one supports it. I am selling my bike after getting upset with them. They do not take any part responsibility and company warranty delay. And now my tire is cracked but no one is taking responsibility.

        Indore's service center is useless, no one knows to give service.

        They must be using low grade batteries

        3 years ago


        Pramjeet Ahlawat

        It just didn't start up one morning and I had to face a lot of issues. Finally, it reached the service center and they told me that its battery is dead and have to be changed.
        The bike is good otherwise but I don't think I will be able to get the same confidence again.
        I got to know that more Husqvarna have faced the same issue, they must be using low-grade batteries.

        Sahil Khan

        It's as price range and it's good for a person who loves tours its give 30 km/l millage. its very good in this price range is good drive for a long routes easy to maintain zero maintenance and just you should change your engine oil after every 2-3 months it will keep your bike engine good.
