Unironically the best advert for this bike. These are the kind of logging roads, trails, and general backountry piste I rode on when I was young. Loved the in-seat visuals and good sound. I guess this beastie might be worth owning. Husky, you owe Stavro a few beers.
Thanks man 🤜🤛
BTW, @@stavrozinio You can brag to Husky, I have my '23 ready and paid for, just waiting for Spring to really get here. Thanks man for the inspiration. 🍻
@@stephanematis don't need to tell me twice 😄
I am bringing my Svart back from 1.5y sleep as I managed to destroy my Norden and it needs special care for a while :D
Glad u made the decission. If you ever need more clearance, think about putting 2019 exhaust system.
Cheers 🤙
Thanks@@stavrozinio , the idea is on the menu, one reason I got the '23 and not the '24. Also love how we can partake of the weight tricks the KTM RC390 folks do. All the best mate! 🤟
Been eyeing the 801 as I'm getting a full licence right away but man does the 401 seem more playful and fun! Might just be more than enough for the first couple of seasons after all and at almost half the price new at my local dealership anyway
This might be the best commercial for the Svartpilen 401 I have ever seen.
This is the best offroad video for a Svartpillen 401. Hands down a fantastic watch
Stavro I ride 401 for years, never knew it was such an offroad beast. You opened new horizons for me man. You are the best 401 reviewer on youtube. All with saying zero words.
Thank you.
it's capable. not comfy, but capable 😁
@@stavrozinio Would love to see how you dialed up the suspension for this ride.
@@chiefenumclaw7960 rear preload on max, front forks have thicker oil and fork risers (3cm), and I air down a bit.
I had no doubt to buy a 401.....after this video......my mind just explode.... I want my 401 now!... Amazing Video..
Sometimes… rider’s skills and choosing the right line matters more than the bike
This just randomly showed up in my recommended videos. Awesome content! I can feel the excitement on those high speed runs on the dirt! Subbed!
tnx!
wow great content. super happy to see the 401 in these conditions
I am still waiting for someone to put different dogbone, and forks from 390 Adventure :D
I might just do that in future for fun.
@@stavrozinio please do it! Will love to see that!
@@stavrozinio great bro! I was thinking to do the same thing! Please, let us know how that works out.
Great filming and off-roading skills by the way, you have talent!
@@Rockmantic21 thanks!
my current money-pit is Norden, but i am still open for that idea sometimes in the future.
@@stavrozinio well, that's understandable 😁 I wish you best luck for all of your projects. Cheers!
Brilliant video! Loved it
love this! excellent content
Great video and amazing places!
That was amazing! Thanks for recording and sharing!!
Amazing riding and places. Love Thoth bikes. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifull tracks, cool bikes, nice video!
Beautiful landscape.
Looks fun as hell man, nice video
Very cool video!
I also have a Svartpilen, and I'm pressed by our offroad-skills, and what can be done with the svartpilen.
And the landscape in Serbia is just very beautyful! I need to visit this country sooner or later.
Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you for this awesome shots... Cheers from the Philippines 🤘
You've really push this bike at its limit... love this content..
Bravo, super posnetek, super vožnja, fascinantna okolica, top 👏👏👏
Insanely good and a whole lotta fun!
Amazing scenery and footage and shows how capable both bikes are 🤙 👋 🏴
Awesome video. Thank you
That intro was sweet!
Movie is So relaxing! Serbia is beautyful!
Amazing video, thank you for sharing and hello from Romania!
I own a small motorcycle tours business in Transylvania, on Svarpilens 401 and I’m enjoying that bike every time.
Your skils, though, are absolutely stunning, thank you for the video!
Excellent👏
Great ride and fantastic scenery, thanks. Might just have to get me one of those little beasties...
Beautiful bikes, beautiful country
Hee hee Coool, this is really fun, Agile light Husky 👀👍 is really interesting, as well as the video. Enjoy guys and good luck and kind regards.
What a nice muddy trip !
Loved to see the svart perform sooo well in those trails ❤️ also.... Ur off roading skills are 🔥👍🏼🙏
Thanks man. We are doing TET in Serbia this year, but still not sure if I will take the Svartpilen or Norden.
True Bro,
Love the way you scrambling everywhere fearless and I got 2022 401 that I want to have the case protection bar like you as well.
Nice ride...🌊👌 Ride safe''👍
Very cool👍👍🏍
What a beautiful place. The yamaha is rockin‘ good
Svaka cast momci! Stvarno izvanredno i super video!
Omg! This is amazing.
tnx!
TAKO JE BRE STAVRO! Samo ga umači...mislim na motor u potoke i brlje.
Awesome vid/content ❤
Thank you!
Loved your offroading skills and the svartpilen capability of cutting thru edgy roads
Awesome video. Getting myself a Svartpilen 401 soon and while I won’t be doing this with it right away, I’m glad to see that it’s at least capable of some pretty good off-roading. Gonna build my skills up and eventually hit the more serious trails
Good choice. I still love riding it even with Norden as main bike now. It is such a fun bike to ride and simply asks to be ridden like a hoon :D
Stay awesome man!
We’ll done guys this is what you call fun
Svaka cast momci.
Both my favourite bikes
nice view & bike
Beautiful scenery! Just added a few pins to my Serbia map. I rode a 401 for a few days; mine did not do that! 😄
Thanks for sharing this.
say hello when u are passing by 🤙
I really wish there were parts 2 and 3 … great to see a 401 Scramblin’
I switched soon after this to Norden 901, so I am not riding 401 anymore really :') Tnx!
very cool video
I literally heard heavy metal in my head, the whole time. How could you even top that day? Wrestling a shark?
haha THIS COMMENT!
cheers!
Oduvek si bio umetnik! :D
Последний водопад Прскало - очень необычный, я такой никогда ещё не встречал 😳👍
EPIC!
😁
I've been looking for a vid like that for really long with real offroad, not a poorly paved road. Thanks! Regards from Ukraine
Thank you!
Nice video
very nice and pooooooower video!!! 401 excellent bike, how i seen this)))
We need moooore!
Randomly found your vid on reddit bro haha awesome stuff as always 🫡
hahah awesome. tnx man!
I'm looking forward to getting a Svartpillen 401 soon. It came down to choosing either the Svartpillen 401 or a Royal Enfield Himalayan for me, but in the end I decided to go with the Svartpillen. I love just about everything about the bike model.
Svart is more capable, RE is more comfy. I vote Svart anyday :)
Reminds me of Eastern Tennessee 🇺🇸
Brate! This is amazing. I'm a Serb Canadian, and did a road trip from BG to Budva with my pops in 2018. We stopped in Zlatibor and it was beautiful. I just got my 401 last year and am dying to do exactly what you're doing here...oh man. That waterfall DAMN!! My pops is asking me what towns you went through? "I know that house" he thinks lol we're looking at the map..
Yo you absolutely thrashed that Svarty, I've seen some good off road vids with it but this is one of the best. Are those Continentals?
Ziveli
haha, hvala 🤜🤛
yep, running tkc80. I used to have michelin wild in the back, but wild is more offroad oriented. conti is a real goat for 50/50.
Just found your channel Stavro. Really enjoyed this video. You're so lucky to be able to use your Svartpilen like that on gravel/dirt roads.
We have a few of them in Scotland but aren't aloud to ride on them without the landowner's permission otherwise you end up being charged by the police.
Subbed!
Yea, here is tehnically not alowed as well, but, yeah...
Thanks for subbing. Trying to save my hard drive that died on me with Belgrade-Istanbul roundtrip with Norden on it, so if all goes well, I will be making that one next.
Cheers!
@@stavrozinio That'll be a good watch. Your footage is top notch 👌🏼 Fingers crossed you manage to rescue it. Nothing worse than thinking about all of the great you know that you did have 🤦🏻♂️
Awesome trails and scenery. Serbia , who knew?
TET Serbia is also great. I am still to explore it whole :)
Awesome content man! I ve waited a lot for these! Keep this coming!
I also have a 401 and do some light off road and scrambling in Patagonia , Argentina. Have you done smthg for the standing position? For me its the biggest drawback for off road
Also , what crashbars are you running?
Will love to see you be the first one to run 390 adv and 19 wheel
yea it is very uncomfortable for standing. crashbars and tail rack are custom-made. currently got me a Norden so Svart will be on hold a bit with new mods until I finish with setting up Norden.
thanks for comment man 🤙
greetings from serbia
Exactly the content I was looking for. I am planning to the same on my vitpilen, do you mind letting me.kniw what tires and mods you have done to your bike. Super aWesome fantastic video.
This makes me want to find a dirt road to ride my 401 on.
Amazing content.❤I was just courius to see how well can a Svartpilen 401 perform off road and now I want a XSR 700. 😃
Svart is a killer offroad, but knobvies really help much. Also my 2019 model has higher clearance
What mods did you do to get more clearance?
@@thargor6750 fork risers and bigger tires
I have a 401 and was looking at getting an XSR but wasn’t sure about its off road abilities. Getting one now for sure
I have a 401 and was looking to upgrade to an xsr700 but I didn’t know f it could off road. Question answered!
awesome filming. I have owned bouth 401 savrtpilen and vitpilen. I like the shoots but was laking a bit of filming of the bikes. I want to see how beaten upp ut was after all that
hola soy de Argentina,buen video,estoy pensando en comprarme una svartpilen 401 para recorrer igual
just view the video after thinking this bike is best for me = light is right. the 17 front tyre is not optimum, but with some skills it looks ok. probably my unicorn i am looking for. perfect on twisty road and good skills due to weight ratio on unpaved. city would be optimum. Just affraid for motorway, may be with windshield additionnal that would solve the issue.
I have done some off roading on Svartpilen but given it's low ground clearance I am amazed you could go so rough.
Mine is 2019 so it has higher clearance than 2020+ models
Not sure how this end up on my wall.. but I desperately need ep02.
Ep02? Thanks, I really like this movies
Good shit
It is important to be comfortable in the field in a standing position. Is standing on the svartpil uncomfortable? What's wrong with him? No one else wrote about this as if it didn't matter. Please write it! Thanks.
Where can I find that molle wrap/rack on the back of the vitpilen? Love the video!
Between your riding and your filming.... let me just say that you're a got dang Bill Picasso!
Ep 2 please.
That was cool! Awesome skills! Does your Husky have an adjustable fork? Was it made in Austria or in Asia? In my country I can buy only the versions with a simple non-adjustable fork.
Mine is 2019, so no adjustments. Only thicker oil in it. I think 2019 is last year of production in Austria.
Congratulations nice video, I wanted to ask you where did you get the rear handle. Thank you
custom work by Crash Bars Seba here in Belgrade
I’ve never seen anyone rip on an xsr700 like that! Or a 401 for that matter! Great riding guys and great video! What suspension mods on the xsr? Only curious because I have one
Tnx! he has no suspension mods, opnly thicker oil in forks I think.
Very based. Going to pickup a Svartpilen soon but I’ll have to do the 2019 exhaust swap to do anything off-road. I prefer everything about the 2022 except that stupid exhaust routing 🤨
I noticed your forks, did you adjust them to make a little more ground clearance? I just noticed now that I rewatched your video. Great scramblin skills by the way!
I have some custom made cnc fork risers that give me around 3cm more in front. If you google fork risers for duke/adv 390 you might find something simillar bcs mine are not being produced anymore. Thanks!
@@stavrozinio I see, thanks for the info man! I got inspired to have more spirited riding with my 401 because of you. Cheers!
which mods do you have on the xsr? Very cool video
Hi! Really enjoyed the video, Which tires did u have on your svart? 🙆♀️
tkc80 🤙
@@stavrozinio wow! What about the size fit? Did u had to adjust anything on the bike? 130/80 on front and back?
Great content! Do you still have the svart as I notice you're on a norden now? Where did you get the fork risers?
Thanks! Fork risers were done custom from some dude that did them for 390adv. I bought mines from the last bunch at that moment. You can google and I am sure you will find something similar.
oh and btw, i still own 401 but i dont ride it really.
tbh didnt expect the xsr to do so well
Love your videos! Great to see how free you can ride motorcycle in Serbia.
I´ve got a couple questions about your bike. Which tyres do you ride? What kind of crash guards have you mounted? What is the small rack mounted on the rear seat? Thanks!
Hi, thanks!
Yeah, we have a lot of nature you can roam freely.
Tires are Continental tkc80, and crash bars & rack are custom work by a local guy (google seba crash bars, or crashbarsseba on instagram).
Cheers!
@@stavrozinio i planning to commute 80% on the road and the rest in mud, do you think the tkc80 are still a good choice for that?
@@anotherone8772 yes, definitely. they are very sticky on tarmac, and can be ridden agressively.
Great video! How did you manage to turn off abs on the rear?
tnx. after turning on the bike, press and hold button 1 and 3. that is on my 2019 model, abs gets completely off on both wheels.
@@stavrozinio Thank you! I have a 2019 too. Its unfortunate there isn't a supermoto mode on this year
Great content bro! I have Svartpilen 250 and i was thinking upgrade to 401 or xsr700 and saw this video 😂. What about the xsr700 performance on bad roads? What do you prefer for me? 401 or xsr700?
xsr definitely more comfy, but svart is lighter for technical tossing around :)
@@stavrozinio thank you for quick reply bro! I think i will get 401..
Great video, what tyres you using? subbed
tkc80 🤜🤛
@@stavrozinio Thanks.
Vec neko vreme se razmisljam da uzmem motor, da polazem za A, da to bude ili Husky Svart 401 ili XSR 700. Zivim u Pozarevcu i ovo je "moj kraj" i sad imam samo nedoumicu koji bi od ova dva, ali mislim da Husky pobedjuje za prvi motor :D Hvala za ovo uzivanje!!
svart je odlican pocetnicki motor, samo novi modeli imaju granu auspuha ispod agregata pa im je nizi klirens od mog modela iz 2019te. ali mozes uvek da provuces granu od starijegg modela 390duke recimo da dobijes klirens.
@@stavrozinio Hvala!
@@stavrozinio kakav je klirens na XSRu? Izgleda mi kao da ni njeni stanadarni modeli nisu previse izdignuti za Scambling? Jel ovaj model doradjivan da dobije malo na klirensu za ovu voznju?
Hi there,
Nice vid!
What mods do you have on the Svartpilen?
not many:
fork risers (3cm), tkc80 tires, and projektracing high fender mount.
rear mudguard taken off, and it's a 2019 model so it has high clearance.
very good watch until the end
glad you liked it 🤙
The best Svart ever seen! I always wanted to push down the forks… how did you do that? Did you make the spacers by your self or bought them somewhere? Thank you!
Tnx man!
I bought risers along with my friend from some guy that made them on cnc primary for 390adv, but they were like last ones he had. Risers and bigger tires definitely helped in getting more clearance and taller riding position.
@@stavrozinio Thank you so much for your reply! I have already fitted larger tires, Hyperpro progressive springs in the front forks (the original ones are too soft and have too short travel in my opinion) and a new shock absorber for the rear. It is already much better than the original, but I always thought it could be even better with a 2-3 cm rise in the front. Then I saw your tricky customization... I was wondering if I just need to put a tube of the same diameter of the forks to push them down a bit and fill the gap.
Thanks for sharing your videos
Yeah, risers are wide at the bottom so they can fit forks, but narrower at the top so they can fit inside tripple clamp.
Also what I forgot to mention is i have thicker oil inside forks (10 instead of 5) and it made a big difference.
Thank you for watching :)
Hi stavro great stuff! What tires are you using? I think these are not stock STRs right? Would be much grateful for hint.
hi, yeah, these are Continental tkc80 in front and the back.
@@stavrozinio so they fit? great news! once again - thanks for sharing, video is fantastic and the places you showed are great, hope to visit at least some of them next summer; take care
@@aawwoorrkk they fit but rear will scrape your rear light (on 401 from 2019. 2020+ models have extended tail) when fully bottomed down. dimensions are f:120/70 r:150/70. Tnx!
Beautiful video! Who designed your custom engine guards and where can I commission them to build some for my Svartpilen 401?
crash bars were done by Seba, in Serbia, and were designed by two of us. unfortunately, he is working only regionally. I would reccomend you copy the design and find someone close to you that can do them alike. cheers!
Whens episode 2 coming out, this was awesome
ep2. suposed to be Serbia - Bulgaria - Istanbul - Greece - Macedonia - Serbia 3000km troundtrip on Norden 901 from this summer, but hard drive with that material died, so I restored like 60% of footage (recovery costing me like whole roundtrip) and am not sure anymore what to do with that footage as it would not do justice to that whole adventure :/
