Husqvarna has finally unveiled production versions of their uniquely-styled VITPILEN 401 and SVARTPILEN 401, along with a new VITPILEN 401 AERO concept, at the EICMA show in Milan earlier today. Both bikes feature a 375cc single-cylinder engine and reflect Swedish minimalism. Referring to the bikes as “honest” and “refreshingly simple and progressive,” the VITPILEN has café racer ergonomics, while the SVARTPILEN has a more upright, dirt bike-style seating position. Here are all the details from Husky: Husqvarna Motorcycles have today taken the covers off its production VITPILEN 401 and SVARTPILEN 401 machines, while also introducing the all-new concept VITPILEN 401 AERO at the 2016 EICMA show held in Milan, Italy.

True to the brand’s high quality, performance and design standards, these two models pave the way for an astounding future in the on-road segment. Also launched at EICMA 2016 is the VITPILEN 401 AERO concept, a single-cylinder machine that is the perfect interpretation of what a 21st century faired motorcycle should look like, according to Husqvarna.

Forming part of the brand’s ‘Real Street’ motorcycle range, the mighty big-bore single-cylinder machine is designed to offer raw and authentic riding pleasure. Inspired by the same unique design approach that runs through the VITPILEN family, the VITPILEN 701 perfectly represents Husqvarna’s progressive vision for high performance street motorcycles. The VITPILEN 401 and SVARTPILEN 401 production models, as well as the new VITPILEN 401 AERO and VITPILEN 701 concept motorcycles will be on show for the duration of the 74th EICMA in Milan on the Husqvarna Motorcycles booth, Hall 18 booth M60.

A statement from Husqvarna says: "It has been determined that anomalies in the manufacturing process have resulted, with certain batches, in hand brake cylinders with defective machining from the supplier. This can lead to early wear of the sealing cup in the hand brake cylinder, thus leading to impaired braking performance. As the anomalies are restricted to specific batches, the hand brake cylinder must be checked and the affected batches replaced."
