2019 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Husqvarna's prototype - concept model motorcycle platform, the 2019 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 features a 692.7 cc (42.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. 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 Vitpilen 701 measures 157 kg (346 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.09 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
