EICMA, with Vitpilen coup de theater … – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Of all the motorcycle seen at EICMA, there is someone who has the X-factor, that special something to jump from the present once revealed? So far, the only one that has wowed journalists all over the world is called Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen. Officially it is still a concept but we know it will go into production by spring 2017, but in fact is the beautiful creature that we saw in Milan. The Swedish house, ringalluzzita the care Ktm, launches with arrogance in the segment of road bikes and with Vitpilen raise its voice.

vitpilen – It is not just a naked: the Vitpilen is a real aggressive street bike with handlebars that has taken off everything that is not absolutely essential to the driving experience. Just reducing the bone is the guideline that inspired the design. An uncompromising, highly technological forms (the back is a carbon monocoque) and content. As also he denounces his name, his heart will be the same single-cylinder 690 cc and 67 horsepower that drives the other new Husqvarna.



701 – Offered in two versions (Supermoto and Enduro), the 701 was one of the novelties announced – and this is not just amazing – the Swedish house. Its highlight is on the one hand the frame hi-tech in chrome-molybdenum produced by the WP and weighing 8.4 pounds, the other engine Supermono short stroke (84.5 to 102 bore) with gearbox six-speed, authentic reference for the category. The 701 Abs Bosch standard with specific procedures for enduro or supermotard, ride by wire throttle, slipper clutch and three mappings for the engine, plus one for the poor fuel octane.
