SVARTPILEN 801 SE

01. The lines

Exterior

Minimalistic styling, inspired by its scrambler roots, gives the Svartpilen 801 a distinctive and purposeful look. The slim, comfortable ergonomic bodywork wraps smoothly around the upper frame to create a closer connection between rider and machine for a confidence‑inspiring riding experience. The subtle, darker tones of the motorcycle are complemented by the bright LED headlight ring, ensuring visibility in all conditions while adding to its dynamic character. Distinguished by its subtle green accents, the Svartpilen 801 SE stands out with a dark‑green fuel tank and front fender that give the model a refined yet impactful twist, setting it apart from the standard version while preserving the progressive, minimalistic character that defines the Svartpilen range.

Frame

The Svartpilen 801 delivers advanced agility and stability through its compact tubular steel frame, with its geometry developed for a new breed of street motorcycle. Strong and light hydro-formed components are laser cut and robot welded to ensure precision and durability while a calculated balance of flex and rigidity offers outstanding feedback.

Lights

Integrated front and rear LED lights and turn signals add to the progressive and minimalist design of the Svartpilen 801. Positioned neatly around the headlight, the unique LED ring offers clear visibility in all conditions to make riding safer for the rider and other road users.

Handlebar

Lightweight, anodised black, and complete with a crossbar to hint at the brand's offroad heritage, the aluminium handlebars ooze style and provide maximum control and comfort. A WP steering damper boosts front wheel stability while adjustable bar mounts allow riders to set a perfect position for the handlebars.

Tank

The 14-litre fuel tank is housed inside a beautifully contoured cover, which is shaped to provide extensive knee contact at all times for a confidence inspiring ride. A bronze-anodised aluminium fuel cap is complete with a machined Husqvarna logo for a premium look.

Seat

The seat is tapered from the front for easy access and movement while riding. Made from high-quality materials and carefully engineered foam, the seat offers assured comfort and durability with padded, heat-stamped ribs improving traction in wet weather.

02. The thrill

Parallel twin engine

The Svartpilen 801 is powered by a compact, 799 cc parallel-twin engine that produces 105 hp. Advanced engineering techniques used to build the engine ensure exceptional efficiency in addition to delivering outstanding performance and durability.

Easy Shift

The Easy Shift is an incredible feature that ensures gear changes are as smooth and quick as possible. Once the EMS registers movement on the gear lever, it momentarily limits power, ensuring seamless upshifts or matches engine speeds when downshifting. For a simplified riding experience, the clutch is not needed when changing gear on the Vitpilen 801.

Ride modes

The Svartpilen 801 is equipped with multiple electronic rider aids to improve its usability. Pre-set ride modes offer three different settings - Street, Sport, and Rain. Street is engaged as standard while Sport sharpens the throttle response, giving riders the ability to break traction and steer with the rear wheel. Rain can be activated in adverse weather conditions for a less aggressive throttle response and reduced power output. For the individual setup of throttle response, traction control, and advanced rider settings, a Dynamic mode is available.

Dynamic Pack

The optional Dynamic pack elevates the riding experience and unlocks the full potential of the Svartpilen 801. The Dynamic riding mode can be set up to personal preferences, 3 different throttle response settings can be selected, Street, Sport or Dynamic. On top, it includes a 10-level slip adjustment, a 5-level anti-wheelie control, and MSR (Motorcycle Slip Regulation).

Anti-Wheelie mode

The Svartpilen 801 features an anti-wheelie mode within the optional Dynamic pack offering five separate levels of control, from Very Low to Very High, which allow for a specific degree of wheelie. Experienced riders can also switch the mode off completely for complete control of the motorcycle.

Motorcycle traction control

By quickly processing lean angle data from three integrated sensors, Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) is active in all ride modes and comes as a standard feature. This helps the Svartpilen 801 maintain traction through corners and increases safety in all conditions. Alternatively, MTC can be switched off by advanced riders who wish to drift around corners and enjoy a much livelier riding experience.

Motorcycle Slip Regulation

Engine braking is controlled by Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) which balances throttle application in the event of high engine drag torque caused by down shifting or abrupt closing of the throttle. The optional MSR function is included in the Dynamic pack and available as a stand-alone extra. It ensures smooth deceleration to afford extra safety, especially in low grip situations, to reassure beginners and experienced riders alike.

03. The feeling

Ergonomics

Unrestrictive ergonomics deliver a confidence-inspiring riding experience. Designed to place the rider in an optimal position to achieve a low centre of gravity, which aids handling, the seat and smooth bodywork combine to offer a heightened level of control. Adjustable handlebar mounts add a level of customisation to the Svartpilen 801.

Suspension

Premium WP suspension provides advanced performance when riding through urban environments and on faster, flowing roads. The easily adjustable 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge front forks offer 140 mm of travel and the option to customise the compression and rebound settings. A WP rear shock, connected directly to the die-cast aluminium swingarm for optimised flex and stability, features 150 mm of travel and the option to fine-tune the rebound.

Brakes

Exceptional stopping power comes from a state-of-the-art, J.Juan brake system, with two 300 mm floating front discs and a 240 mm rear disc. Coupled with cornering-sensitive Bosch ABS as standard riders enjoy outstanding safety in all conditions. For when riding on gravel or in dynamic riding scenarios Supermoto ABS can be selected to disengage ABS on the rear wheel. Black anodizing on the calipers with a laser-etched Husqvarna Motorcycles logo provides a premium finish.

Wheels and tyres

Lightweight 17", 5-spoke cast alloy wheels are a design standout of the Svartpilen 801, with a discreetly embedded Husqvarna Motorcycles logo. Strong and stable with clean lines, the wheels are fitted with Pirelli MT60 RS tyres, offering outstanding grip and durability on all road surfaces.

Gearbox

A 6-speed sequential gearbox offers quick and precise gear changes. The Easy Shift sensor registers movement on the gear lever to momentarily limit power for smooth upshifts. Glass bead-blasted teeth on the 4th, 5th and 6th gears provide exceptional reliability.

Seamlessly integrated into the handlebar-mounted switch cube, it enhances every journey by adding an extra layer of comfort and convenience alongside the bike's existing electronic rider aids.

Service

The state-of-the-art parallel-twin engine offers exceptional performance, reliability, and serviceability. Thanks to the advanced engineering techniques used during the assembly of each engine, the oil, oil filter, and air filter only need to be replaced every 15,000 kilometres after an initial oil change at 1,000 kilometres.

Anti-theft

The Svartpilen 801 has an immobiliser fitted as standard to provide anti-theft protection. This electronic security feature is embedded in the motorcycle and is automatically activated when you turn off the ignition, making it a hassle-free yet effective theft deterrent.
