The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is all set to get an update based on the recently upgraded KTM 250 Duke introduced earlier this year, and is likely to arrive sometime next year.
Husqvarna is part of the KTM AG family and its motorcycles share underpinnings with KTM machines. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is no different and will get several upgrades that were introduced on the 250 Duke.
The test mule shows an updated headlight cover, new alloy wheels and a redesigned tail section to accommodate the number plate, instead of it being on the rear mudguard. Expect to see new colour options on the updated bike.
The 2024 Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 will also come with tech and mechanical upgrades identical to the KTM offering. This is likely to include a larger airbox, redesigned cylinder head and even ride-by-wire.
The updated bike use the 249 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine from the new 250 Duke tuned for 30.5 bhp at 9,250 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 rpm. The unit will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a quickshifter.
The test mule further confirms a side-mounted rear monoshock, which should mean revisions to the chassis as well. The front continues to get USD front forks. Visually, the model showcases a restyled fuel tank, which could grow larger from 11 litres to 13 litres.
