Husqvarna 125 Spotted

THE HUSQVARNA SVARTPILEN 125 HAS BEEN UNVEILED AND WILL GO ON sale in international markets very soon. Until now, the range included the Svartpilen 250, 401, and 701. For 2021, the Swedish motorcycle manufacturer has revealed the Husqvarna Svartpilen 125, making it the new entry-level Svartpilen in the line-up.

Visually, the 125 looks very similar to its siblings, apart from the spoked wheels with dual-purpose Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres. The Svartpilen 125 uses the same engine seen in the KTM 125 Duke — a 125-cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC motor putting out 14.7 hp and 12 Nm of peak torque, mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike has a dry weight of 146 kg and gets a 9.5-litre fuel-tank.

Considering that the 125 Duke was such a huge success, we may expect the Svartpilen 125 to be launched in the Indian market by the end of the year, at an expected price of Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
