Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 Overview

The upcoming Vitpilen 401 is a cafe racer for buyers seeking a more powerful option than the smaller Vitpilen 250. Its 42.9 bhp output is also higher than the Triumph Thruxton 400’s 39.45 bhp. Dual-channel ABS helps prevent either wheel from locking under hard braking, while traction control provides help against wheelspin. Adjustable front suspension and rear preload let riders tailor the setup, and the digital display includes a distance-to-empty readout.

At its expected price, it sits above the Vitpilen 250 and below the Thruxton 400. Its 820mm seat is taller than the Thruxton’s 795mm, which may make it less accommodating for shorter riders. The 171kg kerb weight is also worth considering for low-speed handling. A pillion seat, footrests and grab rail are provided, but no claimed mileage figure is listed, so fuel costs cannot yet be assessed. It is not on sale yet and is expected to launch in December 2026.

  • 42.9 bhp gives it more power than the Triumph Thruxton 400.
  • Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking.
  • Traction control provides electronic help against wheelspin.
  • Adjustable front forks and rear preload allow suspension setup changes.
  • Distance-to-empty display helps riders keep track of remaining fuel range.
  • Pillion seat, footrests and grab rail are included for carrying a passenger.

What we like

  • More power than the Triumph Thruxton 400.
  • Dual-channel ABS and traction control are included.
  • Front and rear suspension adjustments are provided.
  • Digital console includes a fuel gauge and distance-to-empty readout.

What could be better

  • The 820mm seat is taller than the Triumph Thruxton 400’s.
  • Its expected price is above the Vitpilen 250.
  • No claimed mileage figure is listed, making fuel economy difficult to assess.

Best for: It should suit buyers wanting an upcoming, higher-powered cafe racer with adjustable suspension and electronic safety aids, who are comfortable with its tall seat and expected price positioning.
