2018 EICMA: Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept, Svartpilen 701
Husky reveals bold new concept alongside production-ready nakedbikeHusqvarna used this year's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan to show off the latest design concept based around the firm's growing road-bike range.
The latest concept is a faired version of the road-going single-cylinder Vitpilen 701 called the Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept.
Slightly more extreme in both looks and ergonomics than the firm's Vitpilen 401 Aero Concept we saw way back in 2016, the 701 Aero is a remarkable example of how some well-thought-out tweaks to bodywork can radically change the look and feel of a motorcycle.
Meanwhile, 12 months after the Svartpilen 701 concept broke cover at last year's event, Husqvarna used the 2018 EICMA show to display the final version of the nakedbike, which will hit production as early as the end of this year.
Like its KTM stablemates, Husqvarna also revealed a rebadged version of the electric-powered minibike based around the Austrian-built 50 SX, called the Husqvarna EE-5.
