Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250 Prices Hiked

This is the first price increase for the 250cc twins since their launch in February

The motorcycles now cost Rs 4,736 more.  They are still a lot more affordable than the KTM 250 Duke.  KTM has also hiked prices of its bikes. 

Husqvarna has hiked the prices of its Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250. The two motorcycles have received a price hike for the first time since their launch in February. The Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 are now priced at Rs 1,84,768 (ex-showroom Delhi), a hike of Rs 4,768. Husqvarna’s sister company, KTM too has hiked the prices of its entire BS6 range. Here are the new prices: 

Even with the price hike, the Husqvarna twins offer exceptional value for money, especially when compared to the KTM 250 Duke BS6, which is priced above Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom). They get the same features, underpinnings, and even the 250cc powertrain as the Duke. The Vitpilen is styled as a cafe racer while the Svartpilen is designed as a scrambler. Both get LED headlamps, LED tail lamps, and LED turn indicators along with a digital instrument console. 

Power comes from a BS6-compliant 248.8cc liquid-cooled motor that delivers 30PS and 24Nm.  Underpinnings include a trellis frame, WP upside-down forks, WP monoshock, and Brembo radially mounted disc brakes on both ends with dual-channel ABS. While the Vitpilen 250 gets MRF Revz C1 tyres, the Svartpilen 250 comes with dual-purpose MRF Revz D tyres.

The Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 are good options if you are looking for something different and niche to liven up your commute.
