Engineered by Husqvarna for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 pairs a 375 cc (22.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 43 HP (31.4 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 37 Nm (27.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 114.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Svartpilen 401 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.29 HP/kg (3.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,357 mm (53.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
