Let me remind again that India has emerged as the third largest automobile market in the world. Which is attracting various domestic and foreign companies as well as stimulating the existing companies doing business in this country. This time, Sweden’s premium two-wheeler manufacturer Husqvarna has come out after a long time. After recently launching the updated version of the Vitpilen 250 and the all-new Svartpilen 401, the company is planning to introduce more new models this time. This is their second innings in India.
In addition to the above two models, Husqvarna is gearing up for the launch of several other motorcycles. One of which is the new Svartpilen 250 based on the Vitpilen 250. The company has already completed its pre-launch preparations in the Indian market. What will you hear?
The approval letter given by ARAI, Pune to a 249 cc Indian bike was leaked recently. Which has fueled the speculation of Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 launch in the country. The document states that the Svartpilen 250 will be taller in design than the Vitpilen. It has a long handlebar. It features a Scrambler look. In its previous incarnation the Vitpilen 250 was a cafe racer bike in terms of styling. However, the roadster philosophy has been observed in the upcoming model.
