So we finally rode the brand new 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, which has been launched in India at Rs 2.92 lacs (ex-showroom). It's based on the same chassis (though with a revised sub-frame) as the Duke 390 and engine, and thus offers a brilliant performance. What makes it a better machine, as per my opinion, than the Duke 390 is its more comfortable seating posture and some solid hardware and tech on offer. Also unlike the Duke 390, this is also more comfortable on bad patches thanks to differently tuned engine and features like switchable ABS and traction control.
