Con il suo imperdibile mix di versatilità, potenza e stile minimalista, la Svartpilen 801 fa di te il padrone della strada. Sotto le tonalità dark di un'estetica ispirata alle scrambler, un potente e compatto motore bicilindrico parallelo ti permette di raggiungere qualsiasi destinazione.

La ciclistica, realizzata magnificamente e bilanciata alla perfezione, è ulteriormente migliorata da un'attenta ergonomia in grado di offrire un'esperienza di guida coinvolgente e intuitiva sia nelle vie cittadine che sulle strade extra-urbane. La sospensione regolabile WP Suspension permette al pilota di creare un setup comodo e su misura, mentre la vasta scelta di ausili elettronici all'avanguardia assicura svariati livelli di personalizzazione.
