Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 – The Review from Knox

A couple of months ago, we were lucky enough to get hold of the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. In the time we had it, I raced it at the Bike Shed Festival 2019 and used it extensively up here in the beautiful English Lake District where the Knox HQ and factory is located.

In that time, I have fallen in love with the Vitpilen 701, and it is my favourite bike of 2019! Combining the fantastic KTM 690 single cylinder engine with a superlight-weight package of great chassis, suspension, brakes and tyres means that the Husqvarna 701 is a real riders bike. The Vitpilen 701 engine produces 75hp and 72Nm of torque, has a quickshifter and weighs only 157kg dry.

The Vitpilen 701 is super sharp in the looks department and brings something quite different to the typical Café Racer with its sharp lines and careful angles. However, the way that Husqvarna have blended styling with great specs and fantastic ergonomics mean that in my opinion, it’s pretty much perfect! Of course there are faster bikes out there, my own bike included, but for road riding and maximum enjoyment, there are not many motorcycles out there that can beat it and I hope that people start to take the bike more seriously.

In the interests of this not looking like a paid advert (which it isn’t by the way), there are some niggles and doubts which I talk about in the video, but none of them are deal breakers.
