401 owner here , something to add. The Apollo tramplr xr's on them eat muddy terrains like a champ , but cornering can't be done as COMFORTABLY as the 390 .
Clocked 2900kms and haven't regretted a single moment , twist the throttle and it puts a smile on your face everytime , some people mistake it for a slow bike ( Dont ask how I know that ) .
is it really a scrambler or cafe rider?
Non, it's a neo retro style bike
So confused between the two
Swartpilen 402 and scrambler 400x
@@oneinthebillion6724 they are completely different motorcycles , in my experience scrambler gives you that commanding position ( tall seating ) but svartpilen has a slightly committed position and is really accessible to shorter riders . I had much more fun with the svart even during test rides , but your taste may vary . Test drive as much as possible and conclude
@@oneinthebillion6724 If you're confused between the two, you're not sure what you want. It's a very clear diff between both of the motorbikes. Svart is much sportier, handles much differently. The scrambler gives you a higher stance, but is a much more gentler bike. Svart can be called a gentler duke390, the scrambler is significantly gentler than the svart.
5:01 what was disclaimer bro 😂😂 unreal engine and all
😂😂😂😂
I purchased the 401 two months ago and have already clocked over 4,000 kilometers. I'm absolutely thrilled with this beast of a bike! One of the main reasons I chose it was because of my height - it's a perfect fit. Additionally, I prefer the 401's sleek design over the more flashy aesthetic of the Duke 390. It's been a great ride so far! I just changed the tyres to W rated road tyres from eurogrip and now it feels like a whole new bike that loves to attack corners.
will it look small on a 6ft guy!
After a long time saw a review that I loved watching. talking about even the tiny bit of nuggets like water accumulating shows how detailed you guys have gone into it without it being boring. Keep at it guys \m/, subscribing.
Nice review -thank you
I will pick 401 , because it have better comfort for long distance traveling.
Duke is more comfortable
@@iamproud2646 Nope
Unfortunately the seat isn't that comf
Very good review...best till date that i have seen of these two bikes...
Just stumbled upon this video and I love it ! Nice to see someone make actually good points while reviewing these awesome 2 machines. Hooked and Subscribed to the channel !...........I would pick the Svartpilen 401 any day, the pros out weigh the cons for me and hopefully plan to buy it at the end of next year. 🍀
Great comparison. The hole on the chassis or swingarm is for suspension support but not for foot pegs position change. The hole is only on one side as the rear shock is side mounted.
I have a bs3 rc 390 for over 8yrs now.
Was looking for something newer in the category
Why is ktm not launching a new rc 390 with the lc4 engine? I was looking for a new bike and if that was available I’d have bought it but they lost a customer. Bought a speed 400 and can’t wait to buy more motorcycles from triumph. Already own a trident and also a svartpilen 250 which imo looks so much better than the new 401
401 with tubeless option would had been really cool... it looks like a bike from a mad max movie...
Hi i am a beginner rider should i buy husqverna 250 or 401??
If you have control over your need for going quickly, I would suggest the 401. It is quite lightweight and has enough power and character that you will not get bored for a long time on our roads. Expecting you have a bit of riding experience on machines that have at least 10 or more HP. If not, then 250 is the way to go. I myself switched from an aprilia sr 160 to an rs 457, and do not find it any more difficult to ride.
The 401 is an excellent choice, especially for beginners! It offers impressive performance in lower revs and stunning acceleration. However, be mindful of the throttle, as this bike can quickly reach triple-digit speeds - always ride responsibly!
@@shreyass2447 yeah i ride a tvs ntprq 😂
@@harshmehta1739 If money is not a problem, go for the 401, go easy on the throttle and you will be fine.
Which is the best 400'cc bikes for all purpose (long distance, city ride & office, work etc)
Currently riding cb350 and not required RE
Triumph speed 400 is the best for city and cruising
Tube type tyres - Reason why Svartpilen does not sell!
Maybe tubeless spoke wheels might do it
Yes that's the reason I'm still deciding between gt 650 and Svartpilen.
@@kartikranjha1533 thats a strange comparison but you do you bro
@@kartikranjha1533 Husqvarna has best power to weight ratio 🔥🔥🔥 I own svarpilion 250 rode 40099km
One a road bender one a chocolate toffee taker …. Neither wearing pants ….
I would like to buy swartpilen 401❤
I will buy a duke 250 for daily errands and a RS457 for a weekend rush😅😅.
Svartpilen
Can you guys review a tuned ford fiesta 1.6 if possible
Svartpilen headlight = Front Load Washing Machine door. 😂
Jokes apart, Strong fan of Husqvarna design. Art School topper.❤
Svartpilen looks like a kids bike. Duke 390 2024 is the real deal. Its aggressive in looks and power. Everytime I open the throttle, I get that faster and faster adreline rush.
Which is better for Touring long distance
