Despite its small engine size, the entry-level Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 is ideal for most urban touring needs. Its sports a rugged yet compact design that is propelled by a single-cylinder 4-stroke twin overhead camshaft engine with a six-speed transmission.
Surprisingly powerful, it also comes with such creature comforts as the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires with 17-inch rims that offer excellent grip. Their robust profile is made all the more outstanding thanks to the commanding suspension that delivers an impressive seating height of 32.9 inches.
The handlebars come in an elevated off-road crossbar design that makes it easier for the rider to keep upright. The low profile seat adds further to this comfort and is made using durable leather material. This bike comes with a minimalist digital display that provides all the basic information you need.
Handling is made easier by the lightweight high-strength steel construction of the frame that works in tandem with the longer than average WP suspension. The front suspension features 43mm open cartridge forks and the rear has a progressive damping system incorporated. This design accommodates a tight turning circle that is suited to urban roads.
