Recently Asked User Questions
- To be Honest, it's not so comfortable
- Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 features a ground clearance of 145mm. Comparatively, the ground clearance is 2mm lower than that of 250 Duke, however, these figures don't mar the sporty cafe racer’s appeal at all. While riding, the Vitpilen feels fluid and all the more enjoyable because of the plush suspension. It may be because you tread with a bit more caution on the cafe racer and the higher load on the front wheel makes it feeling more plush and absorbent. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

- First of all the GC is around 135mm and not 145mm. Secondly, it's not a problem with the bike it's a problem with the Indian roads so changing is never going to solve your problem. Better get your desired bike and drive little smart. I gave these issues in the beginning but later on learned to avoid these high breakers by some simple manuevers like side crossing and slowing down before bumps
- Yes, If good ground is your preference and you also intrested in occasional off roading.
- 1) Appealing looks 2) Top notch low range torque3) Attention grabber4) Powerful machine5) Swedish background with tons of motocross and dirt bike rally achievementsYou can't resist the urge to look at the bike once you see it, Duke is too mainstream.
- Go with husqvarna because ktm engine . Good mileage because its a 250 cc. Its a Head turner. I own duke 390 so i kn maintaining it is a hard task.

Waiting for the Huskies to launch in India since 2018. Finally they launched it in 2020 but in 250CC. Booked Vitpilen 250 immediately after the launch and got my Hands on it after a wait of 4 months. No disappointments at all. The bike is stylish, trendy and also performs superbly.

Hello enthusiasts, I own a vitpilen 250 and i'm 6'2 in height and i'm writing this review in accordance to my height and my regular pillion which will be my friend who is 6'0 and lean body.For me the handling is top notch, You can zip through like an arrow.Highway rides are comfortable for me till 450 - 500kms with pillion (after which pillion may have sore bum) and around 600 kms for single rider.During initial stages i.E, Before 1st service the bike returned around 38-40kms in mileage when driven in proper manner.And conclusion is, If you are bit lean and tall this bike works like a charm to you, Or if you are well versed in riding, Else, You may find it difficult to manage in city and for this situation pls check out the other arrow, Svart.Thank you.Have a great day.
