2026 Husqvarna Motorcycles VITPILEN 801

Meet the 2026 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 in Yellow—a bright, bold naked bike that looks like it was sketched with a highlighter and built to make every errand feel like a short film.

At the heart of this Standard machine is the LC8c 799cc liquid-cooled parallel twin, a 4-stroke DOHC setup with 8 valves that loves to rev and rewards smooth inputs. With 105 bhp at 8000 rpm and 64 ft-lbs of torque at 6500 rpm, it’s got the kind of punch that turns on-ramps into invitations and backroads into “just one more mile.” Premium fuel and Euro 5 compliance keep it modern and tidy, and the fuel-injected Dell’Orto system (46mm) helps deliver crisp response without drama.

A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a chain final drive keep you connected to the ride, while the steel frame and 397 lb dry weight balance agility with stability. The wheelbase sits at 54.6 inches, with a 24.5° rake and 3.9 inches of trail—numbers that translate to quick steering that still feels planted when the pace picks up. Ground clearance is a generous 6.7 inches, so you can confidently explore imperfect pavement without constantly bracing for a scrape.

Suspension comes from WP APEX front and rear: a 43mm inverted fork with adjustable preload and rebound damping up front, and a single rear shock with adjustable preload and rebound at the swing arm. A steering damper adds calm when the road gets choppy or the ride gets enthusiastic.

Rolling on tubeless 17-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in Pirelli MT60 RS tires (120/70 ZR17 front, 180/55 ZR17 rear), the Vitpilen 801 blends modern grip with a little street-savvy attitude. Braking is handled by J.Juan discs—320mm front with a 4-piston caliper and a 230mm rear with a 2-piston caliper—ready for smooth modulation or firm, confident stops.

Finish it off with a two-piece leather seat for two, LED lighting, folding elements, and a cockpit that adds Bluetooth audio plus mobile app instrumentation. The result? A Yellow Vitpilen 801 that’s equal parts sharp tool and rolling fun—built to stand out, and built to be ridden.
