The 250 cc machines feature a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke DOHC motor which is borrowed from the KTM Duke 250 and produces a max power of 29.63 bhp at 9000 rpm and a max torque of 24 Nm at 7500 rpm. Both motorcycles have a unique Scandinavian design language that is understated, minimalist, and elegant.

The Vitpilen 250 has a sportier design, a set of road-biased tyres from MRF, clip-on handlebars, and a front lean riding position. The Svartpilen 250 also has 8-spoked alloys while the Vitpilen 250 gets 5-spoke units. The bikes come with LED Headlights and tail light, a strong and lightweight steel trellis frame, high-quality WP APEX suspension with upside-down forks, Bosch Dual Channel ABS system and Robust 17” cast aluminium wheels. The braking setup is also the same as the KTM Duke 250, both the Svartpilen and the Vitpilen get 320mm disc brakes up front, coupled with 240mm disc at the rear. With a kerb weight of 166kg, both bikes have a top speed of 145 km/h which makes them one of the fastest and most powerful in the 250-cc segment.
Commenting on the new range, Sumeet Narang, President (Probiking) at Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, “The Husqvarna range of motorcycles have a unique position in the premium motorcycle segment, thanks to the clever integration of superior performance with a unique and minimalistic Swedish design language. The Husqvarna twins are meant for discerning motorcycle riders with an evolved taste, a strong appreciation for style, and those who don’t want a compromise between performance and elegant design. The new colourways accentuate this design philosophy.”
