The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 has undergone a ground-up redesign, including a new engine and chassis from the KTM 250 Duke.
The 2024 Vitpilen 250 presents a uniquely Scandinavian take on the neo-retro theme, a signature of the Husqvarna range.
The Vitpilen 250 shares its powertrain with the KTM 250 Duke, featuring a liquid-cooled SOHC 249cc single-cylinder engine.
The 2024 Vitpilen 250 rectifies the small fuel tank issue with a new 13.5-litre fuel tank for more real-world usability.
Power is delivered via a 6-speed gearbox featuring a slip-and-assist clutch and a quickshifter as standard.
The Vitpilen 250 gets significant ergonomic changes, including new handlebars, a lower seat height, and a longer wheelbase.
The bike features a 43mm WP Apex USD fork and adjustable monoshock, with stopping power from a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc.
The Vitpilen 250 gets a quickshifter, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle, and a SuperMoto ABS mode as standard.
The bike features a 5-inch LCD display and full LED illumination, including a round headlamp with a positioning lamp and LED turn signals.
2024 Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is priced at Rs 2.19 lakh, making it more affordable than the KTM 250 Duke and competitive with the Honda CB300R and TVS Apache RTR 310.
