The new motorcycle is equipped with a new aluminium swingarm and underpinned by a steel trellis frame. The features list comprises five-inch bonded glass TFT instrument cluster, 17-inch spoked wheels at the front and rear, and a quickshifter.
Other highlights of the new Svartpilen 401 are enhanced styling, new paint finish with updated decals, adjustable WP suspension (USDs at the front and monoshock at the rear), braking hardware sourced from ByBre and Bosch dual channel ABS system.
