Husqvarna Svartpilen 701
The Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 74 hp and weighs 157 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Die Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 wurde 2019 eingeführt. Sie baut auf dem Erfolg der kleineren Svartpilen 401 auf und teilt sich ihre Plattform mit der KTM 690 Duke, da beide Marken zur Pierer Mobility Group gehören. Der Name „Svartpilen“ bedeutet auf Schwedisch „Schwarzer Pfeil“ und spiegelt das skandinavische Erbe von Husqvarna wider. Die 701-Variante ist mit ihrem größeren Einzylindermotor das Flaggschiff der Scrambler-Baureihe von Svartpilen. Er zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er die Retro-Urban-Scrambler-Ästhetik mit moderner Leistung verbindet, was ihn zu einer unverwechselbaren Wahl im mittleren bis großen Einzylindersegment macht.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
KTM Engine Reliability
The Svartpilen 701 shares its 692cc LC4 single-cylinder engine with KTM, a proven powerplant with a strong reliability track record. Regular oil changes are critical as the high-strung single runs hot and can wear faster with neglected maintenance.
Watch the Valve Clearances
The LC4 engine requires valve clearance checks every 15,000 km — skipping this service is the most common issue found on used examples. Always ask for service history and budget around $300–$500 for this check if it's overdue.
Strong Resale Value
The Svartpilen 701 holds its value well due to limited production numbers and high demand in the scrambler/urban segment. Low-mileage used examples often sell close to new pricing, making it a smart buy new rather than used.

"A flawed but genuinely exciting single that rewards committed riders."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe Svartpilen 701 is one of those bikes that rewards riders who actually know what they're getting into. Powered by the same KTM 690 Duke engine, it pulls hard from low rpm and sounds genuinely aggressive through a quality aftermarket exhaust. The scrambler-ish styling is legitimately cool rather than costume-party pastiche, and the WP suspension handles mixed surfaces better than you'd expect for a road-biased machine. Just know what you're signing up for. Used examples need careful inspection around the fuel pump and throttle body — early units had gremlins there. The 4.5-litre tank is genuinely painful for touring, and service intervals sneak up fast on hard-ridden examples. Always ask for service history because the trellis frame hides stress points that an untrained eye misses. Inspect the swingarm pivot area specifically. Buy one in good shape and you've got something genuinely special — a single-cylinder that actually pulls its weight at speed without feeling like punishment. Terrible choice for commuting daily. Perfect choice for everything else.
