Updated March 2020:

Husqvarna signifies a brand with Swedish origins characterized by a centennial history. It is one of the highest points of reference for the off-road market thanks to an image tightly connected to competitions (100 world titles in 2019 – 58 rider and 42 manufacturer titles earned across six different motorcycle disciplines.). Currently owned by KTM AG – owners of KTM, Husqvarna, and Gas Gas motorcycles – Husqvarna motorcycles are primarily manufactured in Austria. This acquisition came in 2013 when Pierer Industries AG purchased the Swedish marque from BMW to the tune of 93 million euros.

The brand’s current off-road and competition lineup includes 2-stroke models ranging from 49cc to 293cc, 4-stroke models spanning 250cc to 510cc (including a dedicated competition-only supermoto 450), and the recent addition of a children’s electric EE5 motorcycle. Husqvarna also offers a variety of street-legal 4-stroke dual-sport motorcycles in 350, 501, and 701 variations.

The latest addition to the Husqvarna product range has brought the brand back to the paved side of motorcycling. The Vitpilen and Svartpilen, both available in 401 and 701 variants, are stylish and simple motorcycles with modern performance. We expect to see this trend continuing into the red hot adventure segment. Here’s a look at a few of Husqvarna’s top-level machines.

Husqvarna TE 300i

The TE 300i uses the latest in oil-injection 2-stroke technology. With this latest overhaul to Husqvarna’s 2-stroke lineup, rider’s no longer need to premix. Simply fill the oil tank and the machine feeds the oil via the throttle body meaning the oil is not mixed with the fuel eliminating the need for premixing as on traditional 2-stroke engines. A hydraulic Magura clutch, WP suspension, and weight-saving measures have been introduced for model year 2020 as well.

Husqvarna FE 501s

The 501s is powered by a 510cc Single which is counterbalanced and mated to a six-speed transmission using a Magura hydraulic DDS clutch system. The dual-sport features a chrome-moly steel frame with a carbon composite subframe (saving more than two pounds over a traditional metal. subframe). The 501s uses the WP XPLOR fork and WP XACT shock to provide the highest quality ride no matter the conditions. Basically you have a top-shelf dirtbike with all the necessary bits to be street legal for connecting the trails no matter where you find yourself.

Husqvarna Vitpilen 701

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a street bike reduced to the essentials. The lightweight steel trellis frame, 693cc Single-cylinder engine, WP APEX suspension, and Brembo brakes combine to provide an agile exciting motorcycle to ride. Wrap all of that performance in a stylish package and you have the latest Husqvarna streetbike.
