Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Should I choose another bike other than Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 due to its ground clearance?
  • 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.

    Smooth performance and aggressive ride 

    The quality and finishing of this bike is up to the mark and it get a traditional LCD instrument cluster in a round shape that looks pretty nice but the visibility is not good at night. The features in this bike is quite nice and the seat is very comfortable for me and it gives a very aggressive riding position which is not good for the long rides. The engine performs very well and gives smooth performance but the ride is not sharp. It gives a very stylish feel and it attracts younger buyers and gives good engine performance.
