User Review of Vitpilen 250 by Rahul Priyadarshi

No bike is perfect. Therefore, will only talk about the good part.
- Great riding experience
- Enjoyable ergonomics
- Excellent braking & fueling system
- Easy on pockets (in terms of service & maintenance)
- Great design (it will not look old for the next 10 years)
- Value for money (most powerful in 250cc segment)

About the Reviewer

I have been using this bike for more than 2.5 years for daily commutes. Almost 20,000 km completed till now. It's very fun to ride a motorcycle.
Pros are its powerful engine and mesmerizing looks,
The top speed is 155+ I have only tried it once.
The only con is that it is not for long rides. It hurts your back a bit.

About the Reviewer

The plot in short:- the bike is nimble and easy to ride, the front suspension is on the stiffer side since it improves cornering, the rear suspension got 6 steps damping settings, the low-end torque is insanely fun and the top end hovers around 162-164 km/hr max on gps ...Which in my opinion is an overkill since it reduces bike's efficiency and longevity, ground clearance is a headache for Indian roads since the illegal speed breakers collide with the beneath surface where the heat pipes reside, a certain type of issue increases the exposure towards dents and cracks on the pipeline. And the seat height is too much for the average Indian buyer with a shorter height, which in my case is negligible. The slipper clutch is soft and easy to use, and the resistance against the grip done by the clutch lever is almost null by the clutch leaver while pulling it for gear shiftings. Packed with a complete led setup for every unit(signal lights, drls, headlamps, rear stop light) on the bike. The fuel tank doesn't have enough volume which is a con in my opinion and is not suitable for long rides, while the posture doesn't allow you to do so at the same time, so never mind. Abs and breaking are top-tier, but the brake pads tend to heat up quickly, so it's better to add ceramic brake pads and replace the stock ones for better braking bite power and stability, during high speeds the stability lacks a little bit unlike other bikes within the same range, and you might need an anti-tank slapper to prevent high-speed crashes. But still, a skilled rider could go away with it...
Pros:-design, performance, stability, maneuverability, braking, completely led setup, dual channel byebre abs, wp apex suspension(which is better than the vanilla wp suspension), slipper clutch, smooth transmission.
Cons:-seat height, ground clearance, shifting rod jamming, lack of ceramic brake pads small fuel tank, weird-looking mirrors and grab rail.

About the Reviewer

Ktm motors super performance bike but it's very compact all ride very good road presence..
Best mileage and long ride curious ride
All person interacting with my bike
Best 250 cc segment of this bike my bike tyres almost 13000 kms once changes front and back tyre
Using apollo h1 radical tyre best performance to corning and highway cruise best comfortable ride.

About the Reviewer

Overall this bike has a good road presence, also a neck turner. Power is overwhelming for a 250cc engine. The brakes are good and do a pretty good job in emergency situations, try supermoto mode on off-roads. I bet taking this bike on hilly roads would put a smile on your face. Cons: very ltd modification available.

About the Reviewer

One of the good-looking and high-performance bikes under 2.5lakhs. It is suitable for college students and bachelors, I achieved a top speed of 158 on this bike, and my bike mileage was 30 in the city and highway 33 I think so, it has the same engine as ktm duke 250 but it gives better performance then ktm duke 250 because Vitpilen 250 is lighter then duke 250.

About the Reviewer

Ground clearance will be a problem sometimes with pillion.
Good performance - i clocked 160 km/h.
Maintainance same as duke 250.
Mileage will improve after 2 services.
In city 27 to 30 and on highways 30 to 35
In my opinion its a great choice when compared to duke 250 - has good performance, looks, but will not get very comfort as of duke.
Husky is more like a raw bike.

About the Reviewer

I was very eager to get the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 (well waited for the test ride which took a long time due to covid @ Ktm showroom adyar), it was having a unique presence and was simple yet dynamic with the given features.
When I took my husky for a test ride I felt pure power and performance on the roads and it was very easy to take sharp turns and cuts in the traffic, the riding experience was very exciting and it made me feel good. This bike is very underestimated by many people who see this bike as a compact or small bike, but the reality is it has been good according to me. Shorter than 6ft riders can also be able to ride this bike without any issues.
Well i got my Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 this month and yeah i am waiting to get my service and would be sharing it here later(asap).I feel this bike is easy to clean and maintain than getting any enfield or Jawa type of bikes... So this cafe racer is one of the best in India till now because of its fuel efficiency than other cafe racers.
My bike is currently giving a mileage around 32-33km/litre.
Pros
1)this bike is value for money... According to power and performance.
2)Super Moto mode helps to rev more higher and it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable while riding at high-speed.
3)gear shifting and engine is really smooth with the min vibration of riding on high rpm makes you feel like you are in cloud nine.
4)having a decent cluster set and premium badging on the vehicle
Cons
1)i feel that this bike should have more accessories and rider equipment's like Yamaha and re.
2)could have given different colour options.
3)try to increase new features like navigation and charging usb ports and mobile connectivity.
4)should try to improvise the play store app of Husqvarna better like the ktm application which shows the performance and distance of the vehicle and having the documents attached together about the next services and trips taken.
