Le Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 a été introduit en 2023 en tant que scrambler phare de la gamme de mobilité urbaine de Husqvarna, partageant sa plateforme avec la famille KTM 790/890 Duke par l'intermédiaire de la société mère Pierer Mobility AG. Il représente une augmentation significative en termes de cylindrée par rapport aux précédents modèles Svartpilen 401 et 701, offrant des performances supérieures tout en conservant l'esthétique sombre et minimaliste caractéristique de la marque. La 801 se distingue par ses excellentes performances de taille moyenne sur le segment des Scrambler, tout en restant fidèle à l'héritage de Husqvarna en matière de conception de motos épurée et ciblée.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
KTM 890 DNA
The Svartpilen 801 shares its 799cc parallel-twin engine with the KTM 890 Duke, meaning proven reliability and a well-established parts network. This platform has been refined over several years, reducing the risk of early-adopter mechanical surprises.
Watch the Fueling
Some owners report occasional throttle hesitation and rough fueling at low RPMs, a known quirk of the 890-platform tune. An ECU remap or aftermarket tune can largely resolve this and is worth factoring into your purchase budget.
Strong Resale Potential
The Svartpilen's distinctive scrambler aesthetic and limited production volumes help it hold value better than many middleweight competitors. Its niche appeal means strong used-market demand, making it a relatively safe investment.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"A genuinely capable scrambler for riders who actually ride hard."
$8,500-$11,500 usedThe Svartpilen 801 is genuinely one of the more interesting bikes you can buy used right now. That 799cc parallel-twin punches hard — it's the same engine as the Norden 901 with slightly different tuning, and it pulls strong from low revs without feeling agricultural. The scrambler-ish styling isn't just aesthetic either; the suspension travel is legitimate and it handles gravel roads with surprising confidence for something this road-focused. That said, go in with eyes open. First-year examples had some software gremlins and a few owners reported fueling hiccups at low throttle openings — check dealer service history obsessively. The WP suspension is good but feels underdamped for heavier riders without a proper setup. Seat comfort is genuinely terrible past 90 minutes, no argument there. Used prices are holding firm because demand is real and supply is limited. Inspect the TFT display carefully — replacements aren't cheap. Overall though, this is a bike that rewards confident riders who actually want to use that capability rather than just photograph it.
