2020 Husqvarna Svartpilen & Vitpilen 250 | Designer KTM Duke? | PowerDrift
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2020
- We've known that the Husqvarna brand of motorcycles was coming to India for a long time. It was at India Bike Week that we got the first confirmations, that the 390s would come later and that KTM India was planning to start the Husqvarna experience here with the 250s. And now we get to ride them! On the face of it, the Svartpilen (Black Arrow) and Vitpilen (White Arrow) are cosmetic versions of the KTM 250 Duke. And before you scoff, that's both our top 250-class favourite as well as the most well-rounded of the Duke line of motorcycles. How do distinctive design, a slight change in weight, completely new ergonomics and a more affordable price feel to ride and own? Don't make a decision before you watch this video!

I was here
Waiting for this video for months

@@vishnuteja1124 Oh thank god! 😂
This guy is a gem of the auto journalist world
Thank you so much!
True
Heard about Fortnine?
Check fortnine then you will say what is gem
My reason to specifically watch PD reviews! Keep up the good work!
More Alfred Nobel than dynamite.
Damn, who are creative enough to write these lines
Glad you loved the video! Which bike did you prefer of the two?
@@shu_mar Both the bikes do not tickle my fancies but if I had to, I'd choose Svartvilen just because of it's ergonomics. Moreover, Vitpilen would not be practical enough for the road condition of my country,Nepal.
a bit cringy tho
Is that the flash? Is it sonic? .....No it's shumi back in the game🔥🔥⚡
Badabing badaboom badabang!
Thank you Ashutosh! Which bike did you like more? Svart? Vit?
@@shu_mar Can't decide it's like choosing between u and Varun ♥️😂 Both are gems of powerdrift

Vibration is never good. But the total absence of them isn't either... 😂😂
Big fan bhau
@@adarshbhavsar122 Thanks BossJi!
Well, I really am not into these bikes to be really honest. But then when PD puts up a video, it definitely is worth watching!
And that means a lot to us! Thank you, Amal!
Thank you Amal! Please do share with your friends! It helps us!
How does it feel? To have no taste?
4:28 I always thought(felt) that my Husky Svartpilen was more softly sprung & comfortable on bad roads than the Duke, maybe it's because I'm comparing it to my other bike, R15 V3 as well.. I'm happy with the bike, only issues are the tall seat & small tank for me..Got the bike for light off road & touring & it does it pretty well.. 8:04 that's some award winning voice there..
Did you? Interesting. The Duke is more comfy by me and on the Svartpilen, the tyres do more for its dirt-grip than the rest of the bike, really
@@shu_mar yes I agree, I am installing a full system exhaust, hopefully it will increase the ground clearance & improve it's off road-ing ability..
How is the bike faring now ? How much mileage do you get in the city ?
@@AthifKhanI'm getting 30 with city riding. Highways will give you 35 plus, stupid riding will get you less than 26 27.
These bikes aren't even on my "Choose From" List, only reason I am watching this is because of Shumi sir & Obviously it's Power drift ❤️
Oh wow! Thank you Rahul! 😂
Exactly
Why not? These are good urban bikes.
Same here 😛

Wait for it... The H-embargo just ended. They'll all have it shortly
@@shu_mar shumi please review the 2020 fz 25 bs6 please 😅😄
@@shu_mar Most of the big UA-cam channels have published videos of Thar more than 12 hrs ago. Never expected so much delay form my fav. youtube channel.
Pratyush Singh Bro I think that's because PD wasn't invited to the Freedom drive that happened yesterday. All those who have posted videos of the Thar are from the drive.

@@shu_mar we know that you are old but when u said Ace of base and ABBA you proved you were way too old, considering the fact that the generation buying these motorcycles will be more of Beiber and Charlie Puth 😄😄. Keep those bike reviews coming
Awesome review! I recently bought the Svartpilen. Absolutely love it and at the current price, it's definitely a steal. Thank you PD and Shumi for reassuring me with my choice.
Thank you for watching Denzil! Congrats on the new bike! As I like to say: ride hard, ride far (lots of fuel stops), stay safe and have lots of fun!
@@shu_mar Lots of fuel stops🤭🤭
Powerdrift: Huskies review tomo
Me since 6 am: aur kitna time lagega yaar😅
Ahahahahaaa. Why you up so early man!
That's because it's boring?? Mahindra missed the trick in the new one
Production quality is always on top with PowerDrift! Also nice to see these since they are from my home country of Sweden! 🇸🇪
Glad you like them! And since you're Swedish, we reckon you'd have picked up all the Swedish references! ;)
Ooooh! Thank you! How are things at home now?
@@shu_mar It's all good actually! Schools will start opening up next month but part of it will be distance work. There are definitely side effects when going to the store or taking a bus but I've learned to accept it and now it's almost becoming the new normal. How is things going in India?
@@powerdriftofficial I think I got most of them haha! The three Swedish bands, IKEA, Alfred Nobel and Minecraft are the ones that caught my eye. I've also seen people mention H&M in the comments so I think I need to watch the video one more time! :)
Couldn't stop noticing how you wrote "subscribe to powerdrift " on your coffee cup 😂😂 ♥️♥️
Because why not!
We even got the Barista to announce that! ahahahahah!
Bhai Kya aakh hai Teri.
Yes that and don’t forget 08:04 just wtf was that lmaooo 😂😂😂

Well, at-least someone is enjoying the rain😍. The best time to ride and trek.
Always! Rains are always awesome!
Finally getting to see the human side of Shumi these days. 😂
Great video!
Ahahahahahaha! Damn. Is it showing? 😂
@@shu_mar lol
Dont be mistaken. He still needs an oil change every 50k kms and ends every shoot telling the team “i’ll be back”

This guys has the heart of teenager for sure, the way he does the review is just lit. Thanks shumi for a wonderful video.
Not even one person is talking about the sound design in this video. Great work, PD Team! 🙌
Its always an eye feast to watch power drift reviews and the explanation 👌🏼🔥
That ‘Kiska’ pun was too good I had to comment
KISKA
bruh, i died at that one XD XD XD
Wow, Shumi Sir nails it every Single time 👏🏻😍😍
Thank you Sahil! Can't wait to see the memes
If we ever have a show similar to Top Gear in India for motorcycles, I hope Shumi is a part of it... ❤️ This guy has taken Indian Automotive journalism to a different level.
Precise and Awesome Review.
PD proves that it is the perfect amalgamation of the best Men in the Industry.
Shumi's presentation, Direction, the cinematography, script, screenplay, editing and what not, everything is just in perfect sync and superb.
Thank you for the kind words mate. Comments like these make our day!
Thank you very very very much! I'm off to celebrate. Oh wait.
Dear PD, I waited for this video really long, but in the end I got Svartpilen 250 last month and after watching this video you made me love more to my Husqy ❤️
Hey, congratulations, Mruna! The situation made it almost impossible for us to get our hands on these until now.
Congratulations on the bike! Thanks for watching! Yeah. Sorry. The bikes were delayed by lockdowns twice. No choice really. Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
@@powerdriftofficial A big ❤️ for reply PD. Joyous 😍
@@shu_mar sure ! ☺️
I feel these bikes can be in the catagory of budget lifestyle motorcycles. The design is quiet appealing and will for sure turn heads. These are bikes for somebody who loves quirky designs and also desires to flaunt in Style😎.
The video editing levels of Power Drift channel are next level. Take bow to the editors now and then
Please make a 250 cc segment battle video with all the bikes in the segement. Duke 250, Husqvarna vitpilen, svartpilen, dominar 250, Gixxer 250, jawa, fz25, honda cbr 250r etc. Also a 300 - 400 cc segment video with Duke 390, rc 390, rr310, g310r, g310gs, interceptor, dominar 400, cb300r, ninja 300, R3. It would be fun to watch 😉
Everyone Is A Reviewer Until Shumi Arrives!🔥
Shubhi's puns and analogies had me face-palming through the entire video, the song at the end just had me sighing.😂😂
But it's a price I'm willing to pay for amazing videos.
Did you recognise whose sound it was? :D
Watch it again! I dare you! 😂😂😂😂
@@shu_mar you don't have to. I'll do it happily 😆
@@powerdriftofficial hard to tell. All you guys have such amazing and versatile voice boxes 😃
"A review which gives you the feel that you rode it" - PWA with Shumi 👌👌
It's such a departure from just throwing the bike specs to a viewer, evaluating his / her purchase
Thank you so much Andy! I've always believed that my job is communicate the feeling and not the spec. Specs are nice. But you ride the bikes, not the specs
@@shu_mar another quote ! You made my day 🙏🙏
Bajaj is doing a good job at marketing the same motorcycle under 3 different brands and convincing consumers that they are all different. Dominar is somehow a power "cruiser" despite having a very similar high tolerance motor from the Duke with not much refinement. A slower, cheaper and therefore heavier and significantly different looking Duke is basically a dominar. The Husqvarna is just a redesigned Duke. A+ for marketing skills. And an A+ for these journalists for going by the narrative set by these companies.
You would be surprised to see how different all the three motorcycles feel
Great analysis except for one thing. I'm only basing my opinion on the riding, the rest of it is theatre. Thanks for the A+
I used to get PowerDrift video recommendations on my UA-cam home page since I've started looking for bike reviews cuz I'm in need of one. After watching PowerDrift's videos, especially featuring Shumi and/or Varun, I felt I'm at the right place. I think you guys make the most "real feel" reviews, quirky and fun. I've immediately hit that Subscribe button. Cheers guys!
I got a Husqvarna machine before these beauties came to us...😜
✌️Husqvarna 236R...
Shumi...trust me, you are one biker whom i consider "THE GOD OF BIKING". So effortless, so precise and mind you people... everytime! May god give you enormous oppurtunities to bring bike analysis like no one does! Drink on me dude, anyday, anytime...cheers!
Will the seating ergonomics in either of the two be like mt15? Coz I liked it a lot
Shumi should introduce himself as "hey, My name is Shumi, the most loved guy on power drift Bhumi" 😂😂
pd op lets go 2 million i am watching all vedios till rtr vs ns
Soon! Can't wait!
Big fan of Shumi here. Great content Powerdrift. I like the motorcycles, but I would not buy them if they were to be my only ride. They are a bit less practical than the competition in my opinion and on top of that you don't want all that unwanted attention that you might get when you leave your bike unsupervised at a parking lot or something like that.
Yep, we understand what you mean! But they do blend in a bit in the crowd.
Agreed. But I think that's why I love choice for buyers. You get to pick something that comes the closest to *your* dream
If I ever join the bike reviewing community (which I really want to), I'll be joining powerdrift for sure. And under Shumi sir... Hats off man! Just watched your 10 year old ZMR vs P220 review and now the huskys! You're just awesome!
Abba, Roxette and Ace Of Base. Shumi just won the internet with that Music Reference. 😍😍😍😍
There's more Sweden references too! Spot'em!
@@shu_mar Caught the IKEA Reference. Must mention, the Iron Sight Trivia was Gold. I knew Husqvarna made guns, but did not know the Logo was the Ernest Erstwhile ironsight.
Thanks Mate!
I hope he's(shumi) my mathematics teacher
No chance. 2+2=5 by me. Optimism.
@@shu_mar If you were my teacher I wouldn't have lost that 1 mark in my class I :P
They are more alfred nobel than dynamite ! Guys, you are just fabulous in describing the emotions ! More power to you !
Thank you Shrinivas! What other Sweden references did you spot?
@@shu_mar A abba and music analogy and made like a gun analogy !
But, more alfred nobel than dynamite is what caught my mind immensely !
Damn yes!
Been waiting for this forever.
Seemed like forever, no? But here we are!
Bikes delayed twice by lockdowns!
@@powerdriftofficial definitely felt like forever, but worth the wait.
Okay the shumi superman is back 🌟⚡
Ahahahahah! Thank you my man!
Shumi raises the bar everytime. Had fallen in love with duke 390 when he did a review. Now fell in love with these ♥️
Wow what a nice looking bike.. People in india are so lucky to have these bikes 😍👍
Cool step from Husqvarna! I really like the design of this bikes!
Enjoy the bike life
Amazing review by shumi! Loved the last part🤣❤️ I wonder what he'll choose if given a choice between svartpilen and the Duke 250 considering they are almost very similar in the riding posture unlike the cafe racer vitpilen.
Well, it would depend on what one is looking at! All the three motorcycles are well made and ride excellent!
Duke 250 is a perennial favourite for me. The H-bikes don't change that -- they're very focussed on being urban motorcycles
What a man dude , the only reason I got interested in bikes was because of that man there.
Oh wow. Thank you Advaith!
@Shumar : Swedish references in this video - Ikea's origin are Swedish, Alfred Nobel was a Swede, and Abba/Roxette/Ace of Bass were from Sweden as well, and not forgetting Pirate Bay originated from Sweden as well and lastly perhaps that reference "the big blue Swedish store" was for Ikea.
wow, gee kumar, thanks for stating the obvious. im sure everyone knows sweden exists. like damn. youre not the only one xD
@@hrisikeshbhattacharya5467 hey man, gee, in case you didn't notice @ 0:30 it was asked by PD to comment that how many Swedish references we were able to find. I didn't hope for you to miss something so obvious. 😆
Me and my friends were confused about both the pilens. Thank you for the video.
Shumi is the Schumacher of bikes💪
He does talk a ‘little’ more than Schumacher though
@@powerdriftofficialyeah just little more
Only a little bit.
What a great review hands down for creativity ❤️
Man besides everything, the production quality of this video is awesome.
exquisite script writing..this is why powerdrift is by far the best channel from india giving competition internationally !
All I can say is that listen to your heart
Finally we got the groms we deserve.
Ahahahahahaha! Never thought of it that way!
Sushil Singh Groms are a league of their own, just like these Husqy’s

What a host. Absolutely to class. The words were precise and crisp. Loved hearing him talk. Thank you for making this video worthwhile
As always, brilliant stuff from Shumi and PD!
When would we be seeing the 4o1 huskies 😀😀😀
Wow power drift. I really love your review it is really useful. I can blindly beleive you
Thank you so much Shiwam!
How do the Duke 250's tyre perform against that of Svartpilen? Espicially in the rain? Because I'm more inclined towards purchasing the new duke 250 and i don't wanna make a mistake!
Shumi makes videos so much more entertaining than riding the bikes actually. Not comparing- but when Sheldy left, I was upset with PD. But now with Shumi, the voice over is so simple and friendly to the uninitiated that he is the actual star in a bike review- and that is saying SOMETHING!!!
Always love Shumi's review.❤️
Glad to hear that Sourav! Stay tuned, more of these on the way!
Thank you Sourav!
The vibe isn't there anymore....this is too late.
Um.... Explain?
@@shu_mar some people might not agree with me....but these bikes have been rumoured for quite a lot time....as far as I remember they were first leaked 4 years ago.
I was pretty impressed with the specs and the design then but now I am not that excited about it.
I feel that the Enfield 650 twins are better choice though they are bit expensive.
But I could be wrong.
@@saurabhwarudkar4459 Different category of bikes. Someone in the market for a 250cc isn't looking at the 650cc twins. Both the Huskies are clearly targeted at a young audience who would use it for daily commute and the occasional solo road trips. The 650 twins are far over powered for that application, heavy and expensive as well. Even the Duke 390 doesn't fit that bill. There's a reason why are they priced lower than the Duke 250.
@@aaassaeer I know...but look at the twin....you can definitely use the interceptor as a daily motorcycle. Also they are are very refined when it comes to engine and excellent when you want to drive on highway. Also better top speed and that lovely parallel twin engine. Also they have linear power delivery so people don't have to worry about that. Also on the Huskies the instrument cluster is so small... I mean Duke 200 gets bigger.
I bought this svartpilen last week.. Just rode 100+ km yesterday, I felt so much of numbness due to vibration problem on handle bars...
I really was tired due to vibration issue..
On point-as always- Shumi....also eagerly waiting for vit 401!
Changed my mind to not buying it, the moment i heard
"Fuel tank 9 litre"
"Average 31kmpl"
Bhai iss bandook ke bajae bullet na lelu mai
KTM IS KTM 😇
Can't disagree with that
@@shu_mar 😇🙏🏻
Please provide the technical team details in description who made the video! They deserve some respect🙏
It’s PowerDrift’s presentation. That’s our identity :)
@@powerdriftofficial thats wrong! There is lot of skill in making a video! Every video you make its like a movie! To pull off such thing a person should have clear vision! And man o man what editing! Music selection for background! Camera work which shows minute details! Please mention those all talented names
Shumi can definitely be a fantastic radio jockey or commentator!!
Now it depends on ur taste ..
Which one suits u better...
In my opinion Vitplien is more lovlier to ride , enjoy and manuver
On the other hand if u like adventure and touring then svartplien comes to consideration...
But which one would YOU pick? :D
PowerDrift omg !!
Ill prefer vitplien ... its my crush since it was launced 😅
Touring on a 9.5 litre tank? It'll be a long day with many fuel stops
shumar ... omfg .. shumi got all the points right...
whats the song at 7:50 ?

😂😂😂 Thanks!
questions have finally answered really waited long time for the review. sold my conti gt 535 for new cafe racer 😍
The delay was because lockdowns locked up the test bikes... twice! Best of luck for the new bike!
Most Difficult Name of Motorcycle in History
Little bit. You get used to it 😂
@@shu_mar Btw bike Really Looks Dope😍
Can you guys make a buyer's guide for old two strokes'? They're cheap and are powerful, but a lot of buyers' today will be too young to know much about them
@6:50 i am also convinced 401s should have launched first and 1 year later, still no sight of them. any idea anyone when they'll launch. i want that to be my 1st bike
When people ride it, it looks like honda Navi...
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ relax!! 😂
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ People need to BUY the bikes if they intend to sell it here. The way the Hondas are priced, it is hard to justify the price-tags. The Navi didn't sell because of the way it was priced. And I agree that the Svart & Vit look Navi-ish from a distance.
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ they don't manufacture the 300 because they can't price it competitively. They are already building it in Thailand and it doesn't make monetary sense for them to build it in two locations. Thailand is a more lucrative market for the 300 I think and hence it's built there and not here. Unfortunate, yes, but that's just economics playing foul.
For me the Duke 250 is far more stylish. Duke over this any day.
Duke does seem like a sensible choice :)
SHUMI will always be my fav in auto journalist and enthusiasts lists...💕💕
Ha ha.. that IKEA analogy was spot on!
Can you spot the other Swedish references, Jaikanth?

Can't wait for you guys to review the Benelli302s

Fun review of the quarter litre Husqvarna twins. I concur with Shumi that the 401s ought to have been launched first. The adrenaline rush emanating from the KTM 373 cc LC4 engine is unlike any other.
PS: Hope you guys drop the bomb on the 790 ADV (R?) launch soon. It's been a long time coming!
PPS: Love the Klim gear.
Haha! Hey it’s not like we drop the bomb and then KTM decides to launch it! 😛
