- The 2021 Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is not your ordinary café racer. No, this bike is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Devilishly clad in matte grey and powered by a 373cc thumper than punches out 44 hp and 37 Nm of torque. It's expressway legal and comes in at P315,000. Now which of the two 401s would you get? The Svart or the Vit? Find out on this episode of Beyond the Ride with Jinno Rufino.

Ive been riding the vitpilen 401 for 2 months. Mostly in the city but also a couple of longer rides, 250km+. Havn't experienced any pain in my back or neck, guess it's individual but i really don't mind:) using it daily.
Sir, saang dealer po kayo nakabili? and any additional updates after 8 mos of riding vitpilen? thanks po :)
Can you drive a passenger on this motor?
Same, I’m not tall 179…maybe 180, I use mine as a daily commuter. Maybe it’s because I don’t travel far or because most of my grip on the bike is with my legs, I find it very comfortable and more comfortable than Svartpilen at higher speeds. Only issue I have is if I fit a tiny windshield I don’t think my helmet fits behind it tucked in. 😂
bro pwede sa expressway?
@@toluene1217 pwede, 400 sa CR nya despite the fact na d nga 380cc engine nya😆
let this be your "please do a review on the honda cb650r" button
It’s so good I want one but 650 feels a bit of a overkill for town riding
Definitely love your video! Especially when you talk about the pros and cons on the bike, as well as some knowledge on the factories and etc
Best review I´ve seen of this bike!!
This channel is gonna be so huge in the future
Honestly, this was one of the best reviews I've seen on any bike. Well done, my friend. Thanks. Also.... I think I need the Svartpilen. T
Thanks for all the great information.
As a taller rider (I’m six feet tall) this bike is so much more comfortable than a shorter bike ever could be for someone my height.
Personally, i think these Husqvarna motorcycles have a unique design 😍
Because they do! ;)
It’s a fact😃
That's really a detailed video I was looking for, your explanation is great, keep up man ❤️
Nice touch with the 360 and drone shots
My favorite by if I had the money. I've always wanted this ever since it got released. Perfect analogy with the black coffee. Love the review and congrats on scraping the belly pan
"Aray ko! Sh*t" that made my day haha. Svartpilen is more relax to ride. Nice review sir. 😅
This review made me out my deposit in for my first bike.. vitpilen 401 coming in June. All the way in Canada.
I have the 250cc vit and believe me it's a great bike both in terms of styling which is futuristic and handling but the only drawbacks I faced as a user was it feels heavy although it's not but due to the forward positioning of the CG and the handle bars on the Vit which ultimately makes your hand ache after a 30 min ride tops.
Rest everything is precision engineering and headlight is better than some of the cars out there literally damn bright
I recently went to the dealership to finally see how this bike looks. And I have to say that just mounting and sitting on the bike, i immediately noticed and felt the heaviness that you were referring to...I then sat on Svartpilen and the feeling was really different. So much different.
Great video,gonna start saving my pennies. I never noticed before that the logo is a barrel + sights. Maybe a reference to the fact that they produced submachineguns and such for the swedish army in the 40s.
Excellent video ! what brand and model of jacket do you have and where did you buy it? thanks !!
It actually feels oddly comfortable for a racy geometry bike. Its low but its reach is closer that most sports bike. It felt like a well fitted road race bicycle on my body. Aggressive but the weight is evenly distributed around my shoulders, forearms and chest. Contemplating to Swap my Svart for a Vit but Metro Manila traffic makes the decision tricky lol.
Did they do anything to fix the engine stalling problem that the previous models had?
U go further Bro,u break ur own rule,how exciting,nice review,👏👏👏
Rode the Vit 4.500km from Antwerp to rome 2 years ago. Including some offroad, and a loooot of twisties. Don't forget a heap of luggage on the rear.
It's not as uncomfortable as people keep saying, really. Didn't have a single day where my back was hurting. Just the wrists were a bit sore in the first 3 days, as I wasn't used to it.
Its really just about how much comfort do people need
how's the engine sound during stops? or whenever the engine kind of heats up? the ktm's engine fans kicks in loudly during stops.
How come your bike doesn’t have adjustable front suspension? Here in the US the 401s have it.
It's great. I love the videos so much!
Excelent review!, as usual. Greetings from Mexico! (I prefer to see your reviews instead of those of your colleagues from my country...)
Hi, what are the differences since the first model ?
Thanks
Vitpilen: bad guy, dangerous and fun.
Svartpilen: good guy, nice and stable.
Your choice!!
😅
So the good guy will do off road while the bad guy is too scared to do it. Fun! Riiight...
@@lamefart exactly why the girls will date bad guys but settle with the good and stable guy in the end 😆
That was a really good review! Vitpilen means white arrow, not silver arrow. :)
Great Review 👍
Please do Voge 500r review
Nice lods! 👌 Di ko alam meron na sa pinas, kay royaljordanian ko lang lagi pinapanood tong brand ng motor.
Nuda 900R 🔥
thanks for best 401 test on you tube, love my Vit
I bought a 2020 Vitpilen 401. Fantastic package for the price. Extremely fun.
Edit: I love the bike more everyday! Fully adjustable front and rear suspension at $5300. Are you kidding me!! Both levers are also adjustable. Electronic throttle is super smooth at all speeds. Plenty of torque throughout the rpm range. It also comes with a full tool kit which includes a spanner for the rear suspension preload adjustment, pliers, 4 different torx and 2 hex sockets, 8mm allen wrench. OMG. This is such a cool bike!
@@Dan440-R I am 171 cm. The seat is firm but my butt didn't get sore after 2 hour ride. I am used to leaning forward from riding road bicycle. I find upright sitting bikes uncomfortable so I find Vitpilen very natural for me.

Great review!
This bike looks much better in person, it’s a unique and beautiful bike for sure
Hey have you done the Husqvarna 701 yet?
What is the jacket you are wearing? Looks dope!
In the research I have been doing on this bike, one video caught my attention, some guy had swapped the handlebars on his Vitpilen for a Svartpilen handlebar and it looked alot more comfortable and functional for it's seating position.
I agree about the dash but aside from that it seems like a great bike. Good video thanks!
Great Review on the Vitpilen. You just convince to to get one. salamat.
What gear are you wearing?
Nice review
I have the 250 vit n it's a joy riding this Beast ❤
Bike looks good. Thanks for the vid. It was nice. A bit funny too! :)
Does it have a quickshiftet
It does have quick shifters, right?
I'm currently saving for a Svartpilen 401 as my first bike
Black coffee!!! great analogy!
What jacket are you wearing here?
Please do a review of Yamaha Sniper 155
Like mine. need to change the uncomfortable bars though. Need to find Svartpilen bars.
Bought this bike, absolutely loving it!
this bikes caught my eye for a little while now and i’m really debating it for this summer, only thing i was wondering how is the ride due to how the bike sits? is it too uncomfortable or doable for the most part? thanks
@@jordancleveland5019 dude it also depends on your height if you are around 6" then you'll be fine.
@Jordan Cleveland it depends on the person imo. if you can deal with back pain after long rides and take time to stretch often go for it. if not then get something more upright
I'm so jealous
Is this your first bike? Thinking of getting the vit but unsure about it being my first
Fuel efficiency?
Really want this bike but tough to find them
amazing
Has anyone in the US owned one of these? How was the purchase process? Has it been easy to find a shop to work on it?
This has the best explanation of differences between vit and svart
Especially the
rider height - I’m also 5’6”, the bar position is a deal breaker for this model, maybe the Svart…
I am 170 cm tall, will I have any difficulties in using this motorcycle ?
Nice review! Love the cafe racer look of this bike. Btw, is it "silver arrow" or "white arrow"? I think i've heard people use both. Regardless, thanks for the review!
White arrow. Vit = White, Silver is the same word in Swedish and English (although pronounciation differs). The model Svartpilen means the Black arrow.
No left-hand kickstart?
Nice review kabayan!!!
Rly like this channel
Ano po inseam height nyo?
Is this expressway legal?
Great Review ❤❤. Well done sir.
Next naman ang Meteor
5:16 sorry for the question, how many cm are you tall ?
Maybe it's the re-routed exhaust that lessened the heat in the Svart and Vit?
astig sana kung may flyby exhaust sound
Expressway legal na po ba?
Please do nuda 900 nxt.
Why the vitpilen is more expensive than the svartpilen? I just want to clarify
I want a bike that will be fine with well refined engine even after using it for 7,8 years like the Royal enfield..it it that kind of bike in terms of built quality?
Soon it will be launched in India at such price point of RE interceptor 650.
expressway legal?
what pants are you wearing?
where did you get your pants jinno?
Lazada lang yan
Nice review, Vitpilen mean The White Arrow tho.
“Now, you can take this bike on the highway…”. Lol, my Kymco Like 150 does VERY well on the Highway every day on my commute topping 68mph. Yeah, I’m pretty sure this 401 will be more than suitable replacement. However, no, that bent-over clip-on won’t do for me, unfortunately, which is a shame because I love that paint scheme way more!
Watched this review multiple times now… first time i’ve watched this i’m thinking if i’ll buy, i’ll get the svart… but now, damn the vit really looks badass! Im half hearted now 😅… i’m starting to lean on the “expensive toy” statement hahaha
Nah get the svart. It’s way more comfortable.
agree with rootsuitman. I had a vitpilen, now i have a svart. the svart is way more comfy.
But can it wheelie?
It does come with a quickshifter. I have one and it has a quickshifter. You have to be fast enough to use it. For it to be comfortable on the back and arms, you have to learn how to hold the bike with your legs than your hands. Also the controls need to be adjusted to fit arms’ angle. I love this bike and you are right with your review, definitely grabs a lot of eyeballs.
Yes it does have a quickshifter ! I have a Svartpilen 401 in France and there is one on the 2020 model
Is that the local variant?
Unfortunately the units in the Philippines don’t come with a quickshifter
@@JRUF40 it has I have a vitpilen 401
Brilliant Review.. Seriously.. 👌
Sana dumating din dito satin yung vitpilen na 250
Like what I mean is, excluding the body work and ergonomics, does it have the same performance as Yamaha R3?
engine is slightly smaller and weaker on the R3 but the weight and fairings make it go a lil faster than the vit
Foot peg positions are the same on the Svartpilen and Vitpilen,
The Phart seems like the way to go
The "antennas" coming out of the tank kill it for me.
Ang ganda ng motor na to 👍🏼
😍😍😍
I still like the spoke version of husq.
That's true.
Optional
Would've been better if it had spoke wheels
Spoke always better
@@JRUF40 Please do a review of the TVS Apache RR 310
Front double dis missing
Nice promo
You get a workout riding this bike. After a week, you don’t notice it, unless you take a break from riding for a while. I have back problems, but this bike doesn’t activate any of it, and I’m 6’2 riding this small bike. Ride it daily to work, about 30 min, no fatigue. Would get annoying riding for a more than 1 hour though.
Does this bike have the same engine as the R3?
Nice! 201 next for review! 😊
Ok
lol bro the way you said ARAY KO SHIIIT lol hella Filipino talaga 😂😂
hello from indonesia
re-upload?
Svartpilen vs. Vitpilen
isn't it "white arrow"?
Yes indeed.... actually say it later in the video :)
That 835mm seat height had me 💔. I’m 5.2 I can’t ride it 😞
dude how short is the rider??
