2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801
The Vitpilen range grows for 2025 with the addition of the new Vitpilen 801.
At the heart of the new Vitpilen 801 is the DOHC, 799 cc parallel-twin engine with 105 hp at 9,250 rpm and 87 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm.
A choice of four ride modes alters the engine performance, with Street, Sport and Rain as pre-set and the customisable Dynamic mode, ensuring maximum rideability on the road ahead.
Together with Easy Shift, cornering ABS, and cornering MTC, the street riding experience is enhanced in all conditions.
With the engine acting as a stressed member of the chromium-molybdenum steel frame, overall weight is kept to a minimum.
The 140 mm travel WP APEX 43 mm upside down front forks deliver advanced performance and comfort in varying street environments. Using a split damping function on the open cartridge forks, compression and rebound can be altered effortlessly using the easy-access five-click adjusters located on the top of the fork tube.
The Vitpilen 801 is fitted with a WP APEX shock absorber providing 150 mm of suspension travel for the perfect balance of street riding and all-day comfort. The damping behaviour can be adjusted with a rebound damping adjuster and an additional tool adjuster for the spring preload.
The rebound damping is controlled by a five-click adjuster that allows the rider to adjust the shock behaviour to different riding situations. Additionally, the adjustment of the spring preload accommodates different loads on the motorcycle such as luggage or a passenger.
The Vitpilen 801 rolls on cast alloy 17” wheels that are fitted with Michelin Road 6 tyres.
A J.Juan brake system, together with Bosch ABS, delivers confidence-inspiring braking performance.
Providing maximum stability under heavy braking is the Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC).
A 5” TFT dashboard features an optically bonded mineral glass display to prevent glare. Once the rider has downloaded the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app onto their smartphone and connected it to the machine’s Connectivity Unit, Turn-by-Turn navigation is available, along with the option to control telephone calls and music selection.
Additionally, the integrated USB-C connector allows for easy charging of handheld devices mounted to the handlebar
