  • The 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is all-new, featuring the new chassis and engine from the 2024 KTM 390 Duke. But it not only fixes a lot of issues that stopped us from recommending it upto now, it also promises a dramatically different riding experience. Shumi and Kartikeya are discussing the new motorcycle on MotorInc First!
    ~
    MotorInc First is a discussion between experts Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi (Shubhabrata Marmar), co-founders of MotorInc on new vehicles. Each episode will discuss one vehicle in great detail, covering the experience of driving or riding it, as well as what it means for the industry.

    Update from Husqvarna:
    15:18 | In Reduced Mode, the display normally shows the speed on top, the rev counter in the middle and the gear position at the bottom. When you hit reserve, the gear position display is replaced by a bar that tells you that you need to refuel.

      Hey Uttkarsh! Feedback noted, but bringing the vehicles into the studio at MotorInc First is logistically impossible. To give you an example, the Mavrick rides were in Bhuj, ~950km from our office and they were pre-production bikes. We'd have to wait a month or more to do a MotorInc First if in-studio vehicles were a thing for us.

    Thank you so much for this informative impressions. I was waiting for this husky first impressions from you guys. I saw your post on Instagram last night I couldn’t sleep then got a MotorInc podcast notification. Listened to that then slept, woke up, watched here for visuals. Kudos to you guys for this brilliant format. I love it so much that I never realise how 45 mins - 1 hour has passed and still want to hear you guys talk on and on.
    I ride a R15S (based on V2) which I use for daily commute and touring (650+ kms a day) once a month and thinking to upgrade to Svart 401 as it looks so desirable to me. Only want to know how the 401 will make me feel on twisties as it is something I love and enjoy on my R15

    One query - can you guys help with the suspension settings - as in, I have never done that in a bike so far, so any pointers as to where to start and how to go about understanding how to tweak them? I understand that it's a P&C of 5 and 5 settings, but what helps in which terrain is something that would be a great starting point!

    As I keep saying! Marvelous Presentation! Only one thing I'd like to add! The Vocal Audio needs a little bit of tweaking for both of you guys! I mean the It sounds a little muddy at places, the Lows dominate the Mids and the Highs and then again everything comes back to place after a couple of mins! And then it happens again and this whole thing keeps happening throughout the video! Although whatever you guys say is completely audible! It's just that smidge of imperfection and I dont relate with Motorinc!I mean most people wouldn't probably notice it but being a Small Time musician who has learnt a few things about audio balancing it affects me 😅
    It could be a microphone issue though! Because I've noticed this before also!

    1. If i am using handle bar raisers and met with an accident due to a totally different issue so can insurer deny the claim?
    2. I am planning to buy this bike but tubed tire are bugging me so either i will spent 10 k for way2speed tubeless conversion or will use 250's alloys on this so will it hamper my insurance claim in any way? As insurer will treat them as modification

      1. In theory yes, in practice, unlikely
      2. We'd change the alloys and ask the agent to add the wheels as an accessory to the insurance policy so they're covered.

    Hello people, so I've been thinking of getting a speed 400 before this I've only ridden my fathers splendor which at this point is more or less 18+ years old, my question is should i still get the speed 400 ? Is it a good choice ?
    The reason I'm going for the speed 400 is that everywhere i keep hearing that it's a calm and easy going city bike, plus im confident that i can get used to riding it relatively well in about a week's time

    • @motorinc

      We generally don't recommend bikes over 30bhp for people with limited riding experience (in terms of performance, not years). However, the Speed 400 is, as you say, easy to get on with.

    How about the state of riding gear in the country?
    It generally is hard to come accross proper ECE approved ones, at retail shops as well as the popular online retailers.
    Where can one find, what to look for, how are Indian markets different from their global counterparts in terms of their needs, etc.

      To us, Sudakshinatopader, the 310s a weird engine size to have in the market right now. India's clearly moving up to the 400s class and we see diminishing reasons to think of a middle choice between the 250s (so many) and 400s (so many again!)

    @motorinc Thanks for another wonderful video.
    I’ve a question: How is the cornering capabilities? In the podcast, you guys didn’t talk about the foot peg position and it’s cornering clearance. Is this a bike that can perform as well as Duke 390 on a track day? (I.e., with the right set of wheels and tires)
    The other famous UA-camr who scrapes knees on all his videos, couldn’t do it on this bike. Looks like there is cornering clearance issue. Can you please confirm it? Because, even on test rides, we can’t find it out ourselves.

    • @motorinc

    Also, since the 401 has the adjustabele suspention which will be the most comfirable bike Speed 400 or The Svartpilen 401 with the suspention tuned for comfirt.
