Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 India Launch Soon

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 along with the Vitpilen 250 were launched in India four years ago and the former is now set to be re-launched in India with updates same as the ones on the new-generation KTM 250 Duke. We say re-launched because the Husqvarna India website currently lists only the Svartpilen 401 and the Vitpilen 250, on sale in India, both of them were launched in January 2024.

The 2024 Svartpilen launch is also confirmed because the type-approval documents for the motorcycle have been revealed and that means the motorcycle is now homologated in India. The motorcycle is likely to carry over the design from its elder sibling, the Svartpilen 401, and yes, the design will be unique, as is the case with Husqvarna motorcycles.
