Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2024

With the 2024 update, the Svartpilen 401 has become significantly larger, more mature, heavier and more modern. With a lower seat height and wider dimensions, it has become more attractive for both short and tall pilots. The new TFT display is more attractive to look at and offers practical benefits. Despite the extra weight, the Svartpilen remains an agile fun bike with decent grunt from the single cylinder, a relaxed riding position and adjustable, well-functioning suspension. The only thing that spoils the riding pleasure is the weak, less powerful brakes. If the old Svartpilen was too small or too high, you should give it another chance in 2024.
KTM 390 SMC R 2025

The KTM 390 SMC R is neither a slimmed-down 690 nor a disguised Duke derivative, but an independent interpretation of the supermoto theme - accessible, suitable for everyday use and yet with enough sharpness for serious lean angles. It does not have a brute radicality, but a clever overall package that confidently covers urban riding, after-work laps and occasional track excursions. The engine is revvy, the suspension can be fine-tuned, the brakes work exceptionally well and the ergonomics allow you to ride a longer stage - without having to fish your knees out of the petrol cap one by one afterwards. With an entry-level price of €6,299 in Germany (plus ancillary costs) and €6,999 in Austria (incl. NoVA), it remains reasonably priced - especially considering the extensive features with TFT display, traction control, supermoto ABS and an optional quickshifter. In short: If you are looking for an A2-compatible bike with character that is not only easy to ride but also easy to understand, the 390 SMC R is a successful blend of rationality and lateral behaviour. And in the end, that is perhaps exactly what the supermoto market has been missing.
