At the heart of the 2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 allround motorcycle, Husqvarna pairs a 692.7 cc (42.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73.8 HP (53.8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 72 Nm (53.1 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 106.5 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 701 measures 158.5 kg (349 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.47 HP/kg (2.15 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 1,436 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
