, Huswana, which has always been mainly used to make off-road motorcycles, has successfully attracted many young users with its novel designs with its street car models "SVARTPILEN" and "VITPLIEN" launched in recent years. Following the two previous models of "701" and "401" with displacement, Huswana has launched a 250cc version, which not only retains the unique design, but also allows more entry-level riders to enjoy the unique charm of European cars.
SVARTPILEN 250 uses the same frame as the Big Brothers 401 and 701. The lines of the steel braided frame extend directly from the front to the rear of the car. Although the frame is shared, the front and rear wheels of the SVARTPILEN 250 have changed from the steel wire frame of the 401 to the 17-inch multi-spoke wheel frame, and are equipped with multi-function off-road tires to emphasize the performance on the off road. The neat body lines and classic round light design create an ancient TRACKER feeling for the whole vehicle.
In terms of power, the SVARTPILEN 250 uses the same single-cylinder water-cooled engine as the KTM 250 DUKE. The 248.8c.c. exhaust volume can generate 31hp maximum horsepower at 9000 rpm, while the maximum torque generates 2.44kg-m at 6750 rpm. Therefore, you can feel the abundant torque at any time at low rpm and enjoy the refreshing acceleration after starting.
In terms of shock absorption and brake, the original manufacturer used WP-made APEX front and rear shock absorption. The front of the car is an inverted front fork with a diameter of 43mm, and the rear of the car is an adjustable mid-mounted single-gun rear shock absorption without a multi-bar structure. The front brake uses BYBRE four-piston radiant calipers from Brembo's subsidiary factory with 320mm fixed discs, while the rear brake also uses BYBRE single-piston calipers, so it can exert super braking power. At the same time, the front and rear wheels are also equipped with BOSCH's ABS system, which can improve safety when driving in rainy days and wetlands. In addition, the rear wheel ABS can be closed independently, so you can perform tail swing and solitary wheels like SUPERMOTO.
dashboard adopts the same design as SVARTPILEN 401. In the middle of the circular digital screen is a speedometer and a change indicator, which can display the total and single odometer, and a tachometer, water thermometer, oil meter, time, etc. are displayed next to it.
In addition, the whole car also uses LED lamps, especially the left and right handle switches have luminous parts, so you can also see the operating buttons on the handle switch clearly when driving at night.
Fuel tank is equipped with an exclusive bracket, allowing users to fix the fuel tank directly on the fuel tank. The original factory also provides corresponding accessories for everyone to choose from.
driving experience
In fact, the newly released street cars in recent years can be said to be less and less like "street cars". Instead, they have a design and style that is biased towards SUPERMOTO: the seat height of more than 800mm, wide handles, short and narrow cylinders and short body wheelbase bring a more flexible handling feeling, which is completely different from the large and stable design of traditional street cars. This time the positioning and design of the SVARTPILEN 250 is the same. Chang Ge from the Knight's own store also said that although it is not good for ordinary car owners to touch the ground with both feet, this design is becoming more and more popular and brings a more flexible handling feeling.
In terms of engine, the SVARTPILEN 250 has a maximum horsepower of 31ps, which is not far from the 30.5ps of the CB300R. The numbers on the tachometer can rise rapidly until 11,000rpm in the red line area, but can start and move forward when the speed is only 2,000rpm, fully exerting the low speed characteristics of the single-cylinder engine, and provide sufficient response when it is relatively high.
and the ECU settings are also very mature, so throttle reactions and so on make people feel better. The original manufacturer also added a sliding clutch for this engine, so the clutch is very light to operate and the connection is very smooth when changing files, which makes people admire this engine. In terms of
handling, although the original manufacturer uses Indian brand off-road dual-purpose tires, the performance is unexpectedly satisfactory. It has extremely high grip when driving on the road, and the front and rear wheels have a long shock absorption stroke of 142mm, which is very stable when driving at medium and high speeds, and feels very light when tilting and backing the body.
However, because the handle is very stable when rotating, the body can be stabilized even when the speed exceeds 60km/h. Moreover, even if the body tilt angle is so large that the footsteps touch the ground, it still makes people feel comfortable.
In terms of brakes, compared with this horsepower and weight, the brake performance is already very sensitive and has no shortcomings in handling at all. The SVARTPILEN 250 can be said to be an urban Scrambler.
In recent years, European car manufacturers have also begun to focus on entry-level users. Triumph, Aprilia, KTM, etc. have launched mid-displacement models. This time, Huswana brought SVARTPILEN 250 to the market with a rejuvenated TRACKER-like street car. With entry-level prices, intermediate car equipment, European-style car design and flexible and easy-to-control characteristics, it gives a lot of users a better choice.
