2026 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801

2026 Husqvarna® Vitpilen 801

Highly capable and dynamic, the Vitpilen 801 roadster offers a ride unlike anything that came before it. This beautifully built modern motorcycle draws its design cues from the brand's Swedish heritage, and it stands out with an LED projector lens headlight encircled by a light ring for a look that can't be mistaken. Its pure performance is generated by a 105 hp parallel-twin engine, while several electronic rider aids shape how that power is delivered for a customized setup. Personalization carries over to the premium, adjustable WP suspension and a selection of up to four ride modes, which make certain the Vitpilen 801 is accessible to a wide range of riders.

Features may include:

• Exterior

Styled after roadsters, the Vitpilen 801 carries nothing but essential bodywork, which hugs the upper frame closely to build a tight connection between rider and machine. The unique, progressive styling gets a lift from eye-catching graphics and contrasting tones that come together to give off a distinctive appearance. At the front, a Bi-LED headlight sits proudly, giving the Vitpilen 801 a progressive identity and illuminating the road after sundown.

• Frame

A compact tubular steel frame gives the Vitpilen 801 advanced agility and stability, and its geometry was developed for a new kind of street bike. The hydro-formed components, both strong and light, are laser cut and welded by robots to guarantee precision and durability, while a calculated balance between flex and rigidity provides outstanding feedback.

• LED projector lens

When light is low, the Bi-LED headlight shows the way with seriously bright output and gives the Vitpilen 801 an unmistakable look. A light ring encircles the headlight so the machine stays clearly visible at all times, and it lends the front end a distinctive style. Out back, the LED taillight and turn signals blend neatly into the bodywork, making sure its smooth contours remain undisturbed.

• Handlebar

The aluminum handlebars are lightweight, anodized black and flat-bend, oozing style while offering the perfect amount of flex so riders can sense what the chassis beneath them is doing. Front wheel stability gets a boost from a WP steering damper, and adjustable bar mounts let riders place the handlebars in their preferred position.

• Tank

The 3.7-gallon (14-liter) bullet-shaped fuel tank sits at the heart of the Vitpilen 801's design concept and is enclosed in a unique cover offering extensive knee contact for a ride that inspires confidence. This lets riders move around freely under acceleration and braking, for maximum control.

• Seat

Tapered at the front, the seat allows easy access and freedom of movement on the move. Built from high-quality materials and carefully engineered foam, it provides assured comfort and durability, and a yellow highlight strip finishes off its stunning appearance.

• Parallel twin engine

Power for the Vitpilen 801 comes from a compact 799 cc parallel-twin engine that uses advanced engineering techniques, among them active crankcase evacuation and semi dry-sump lubrication, to guarantee exceptional efficiency along with outstanding performance and durability, and its service intervals come at 15,000 km.

• Easy Shift

Easy Shift is an incredible feature that ensures shifts happen as smoothly and quickly as possible. As soon as the EMS detects movement at the gear lever, it briefly limits power for seamless upshifts, or matches engine speeds on downshifts. To simplify the riding experience, the Vitpilen 801 doesn't require the clutch for changing gear.
