- Special-edition Vitpilen 801 Aero unveiled
- Gets reduced weight and special parts
- No word about the official launch timeline
Husqvarna Motorcycles has unveiled a special-edition model of the Vitpilen 801 called the Aero Concept. The motorcycle has been kitted to the brim with a selection of top-of-the-line, high-performance aerodynamic parts.
To start off with, the Aero concept gets a custom full-system exhaust. The white header pipes are routed differently too and seem to be larger in diameter- resulting in slightly more horses at the higher end of the rev band. The pipes end in a centrally mounted underseat exhaust that is integrated with the seat cowl. The air intake has also been redesigned to accommodate the freer flowing exhaust.
Adding to that, Husqvarna have reduced the weight of the Vitpilen 801 by adding carbon and custom handmade bits all over. It also gets a new windshield and a disc rear wheel too. The motorcycles rides on WP Apex Pro suspension on both ends and the braking hardware now consists of Brembo GP4 units that replace the standard J.Juan calipers.
While performance numbers haven’t been revealed, it is likely that the 105bhp producing 799cc parallel-twin mill remains the same. The one-off special hints at Husqvarna’s future plans to introduce a sportier version of the Vitpilen that could go hand-in-hand with KTM’s 990 Duke R.
Pricing or availability hasn’t been announced yet, although it could be unveiled as a full production version by the end of 2025.
