Engineered by Husqvarna for the prototype - concept model motorcycle segment, the 2020 Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 utilizes a 692.7 cc (42.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 75 HP (54.7 kW) while maximum torque reaches 74 Nm (54.6 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 108.3 HP per liter, 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 161 kg (355 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.47 HP/kg (2.15 kg per horsepower). The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
