Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2021

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

KTM 690 Duke 2009

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
