In ride quality, the premium components of the Svartpilen do make a real difference. The Duke feels more refined than this.

If you can afford it, I’d say it’s worth it. The Svartpilen is that conversation starter and has that cool factor the Duke doesn’t have.

Neither. If you can’t afford a new bike, get a used Triumph Street Triple R and you have the best of both worlds: style and performance.

Something that will help the Svartpilen hold its value is its uniqueness. One thing to think about if you think you’ll sell.
Will the 801 eat into the sales of the 401 in India?

Perhaps it would actually increase brand awareness and boost 401 sales. Those who cannot afford the 801 will settle for the 401.

I believe it will damage 401 sales. The 401's looks are so good that many people buy it, and the 801 has the same style with more power.

In cities where the smaller size of the 401 is an advantage, it will still sell well. The 801 is more of a highway cruiser.

Sales of 401 will drop short term as people wait for 801, but it’ll stabilize once hype dies down.

No contest. Performance wise, the Svartpilen is in a different league. RE can't compete there.

While RE will continue to dominate the mass market, the Svartpilen will be a niche product.

It depends on pricing. If Husqvarna prices it competitively, it might steal some of the RE's potential customers.

In the long run, the Svartpilen has an edge. With Indian riders becoming more performance oriented, this is the type of bike they will lean towards.
What’s the difference between the Husqvarna 701 Enduro and the KTM 690 Enduro R?
16 January 2025 05:53
Essentially, they're the same bike with different plastics. I've ridden both, and I cannot tell much difference in performance. At the end of the day, it’s all about what look you like and whether the dealer support is good in your area.
