2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 Review - can it stand out from the other parallel twin roadsters?

Remarkably, Husqvarna’s scrambler-styled 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 learner-legal 125. Now, for the very first time, a Svartpilen is available with a twin-cylinder 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 already-rebadged bike? Or is the Svartpilen 801 really unique enough to deserve a spot among the increasingly crowded world of parallel-twin roadsters? ➡️ Full review: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial...
