no blutooth is actually a plus point!
I really don't understand why everyone has hyped the bluetooth connectivity up so much 😂, like dude just put your phone on vibrate you'll know if there's a call anyways, and I don't think turn by turn navigation is much useful on smaller screens 😂
@@suryanshridesbikes not really I use it for turn by turn always and just works like a charm, I've literally been to different parts of India hassle-free. When u are at high speed no phone vibration can be felt btw😂
@@technofete different strokes for different folks i guess 😂, i think it's just the vibration powerhouse my samsung phone is 😂
@@suryanshridesbikes no bro, however powerful it doesn't get through riding pants n all
@@technofete ah well that makes more sense, i don't have riding pants, just a riding jacket so for me the vibrations are just getting through my pants once 😂
After owning I can confirm it gets a lot of stares and get touched by public if kept in public spaces. It's my first bike and I don't know how to handle this situation. I have to always keep an eye on her everytime I am parking it in public parking space. People specially collage going kids just sit on it an try to maneuver it.
As a proud owner, i can relate 😂.
Same here. Guy in ertiga stopped me in middle of road to ask me about the bike. He loved it after I told him you can buy it in KTM showroom his face was down😅😅😅😂😂😂.
True the same experience here but many think it's ev 😅😂
Bought this yesterday...
And I'm 50+..😂😂😂😂😂
@@123junu Congratulations sir
The messed up the headlights , the older version was sleek & cool.
Finally the video I've waited for last few months...❤
सेम हियर
Yahan bhi🤣🤣
Finally A video on Husqvarna 250 I was waiting for a long time,
Please bring comparison videos of this too
The bike shot with the butterfly on was quite sick
Hai na? 😍
Bajaj missed a trick by launching svartpilen 401 with spoke wheels with tube tyres (compounded by the fact that Pirelli’s scorpion STRs have been switched to Apollos, rationale given by the dealership was that RTO approval didn’t come through for STRs, a rookie mistake by Bajaj) this vitpilen deserves a 401 avatar.
I recently owned this as my first bike and I love it my friend with a classic 350 said as much he will drive the 250 he is going to hate is 350 and said it's smooth . For me it's amazing right now I keep it under 6k rpm and it's beautiful . Suspense is the thing I love . We went from Noida to Jalandhar on the bike and it was comfortable for 200km And then we got tired
Hello Team,
Can you please do a comparison video of Vitpilen 250, KTM 250 and Honda CB300R?
Will be really useful for young and enthusiastic riders.
Thanks in Advance.
Test ride you will understand what you like
@@james_isaac+1 rode them, loved the nimble, peppy and refined cb300r. Who knew a honda was more sharper than a ktm imo. happy buyer here
Bro are you an IT employee by any chance? 😂 way too formal and the last thanks in advance hits the nail 😮
This design is far better than the previous gen the 401 also looks beautiful
Only thing is we will miss that DRL RING
@@मनुष्य_प्राणी and the clipons, they could've kept the clipons and jus raised them a bit
Finally 4k!!🎉🎉
After test drove twice two different bikes. It has low end buzz(vibration )on handle bar between 2500 to 3000rpm. Even the clutch lever also shakes. Other than that it's awesome.
Great video quality!
I test rode this bike and the bike I rode surprisingly had annoying vibration in foot pegs all across the rev range. Duke 250 on the other hand is very smooth. You guys did not talk about the vibration part at all in the video. Was the machine you guys got for testing better in terms of vibration?
Rishaad is a gem in reviewing automobiles. We can close our eyes and can still understand his in detailed review.
long waited much needed video about vitpilen 250
After a very long wait, Autocar India has finally made a video on the new Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and with Rishaad Mody reviewing it, it's an icing on the cake 😌
Here's hoping that Husqvarna will soon launch a new version of the Svartpilen 250 in India.
Vitpilen or speed 400..which one to pick
Pls make comparison video..with hunter 350 and Ronin 225 ,!!
Best thing about rain: 720P looks like 4K
Bajaj freedom cng
Nah, better buy Gixxer. Worth a lot🎉
can the alloys on the vitpilen 250 be fitted on to the svartpilen 401?
Yes.
1.Absolutely brilliant work by KTM/Husqvarna on the new 250’s.
2.Superb quickshifter on the 250Duke and a very smart update on the new Husqvarna! Bigger and bolder indeed.
3.The Gen 2 250Duke and the Husqvarna offered a very unique experience with the BS4/6 DOHC 248.xx cc machine.
Overall, a very interesting update. The Huskies are larger and the Duke’s a bit smaller!
myself 5.2 feet tall - I recently test road the new Duke 250 which amazed me with its comfort and handling. I could get both toes on the ground. For reference i own the Yamaha FZS v3 which i could get only one toe on land at a time. can you please tell if the "Vitpilen 250" is also alike? Please do a comparison video.
Late video but well done
The less chapri duke- I'd change the rear grab handle though
I'm waiting for a review of bmw gs1300😗
Rishaad, please do a comparison video comparing the Vitpilen 250 with other competitors such as the Honda CB300R, TVS Ronin, Apache RTR 310, Bajaj Pulsar N250, Dominar 250 and KTM Duke 250 🥺
Hope they launch a Husqvarna Norden 390 or something that would be a stunning looking machine
Is it a family bike?
I liked the previous one, the new headlights doesn't look good.
Also there is almost no diff between the husqies.
Interested more in the location....
Is it better than meteor 350
Cb300r or Husqvarna?
The instrument cluster is not on par with rest of the bike's design... They cld have bumped up the price by 10k and provided the console from 401..
The tail section is a joke, yet practical.
Rest of the bike is just woww❤❤
Can we add 401's head light on this 250
Good question
Which raincoat you rocking in the video? Looks nice and dry
Kinda looks like my decathlon one
If they provide coloured display, upgrade tyre which used in ktm duke 250, option to customise suspension and headlight. It will kill
What is the price of the alloy wheels😂?
You shooting in rain I am watching in rain ☔
Rear is an eye soar
dream bike for my height 6'3 people
Cb300r 2024 review when? @autocarindia
LCD screen on a road bike in 2024???
Every time you put a bike video, I hope it were the Indian Scout 2025 lineup. But NO is what I've been getting.
They should have kept the clip on handles.
Vitpilen 250 or Speed 400??
I think speed 400 performance is good than this but size and look is less.
KTM HEATING IS PEAK , IS THERE HEATING ISSUE IN THIS BIKE? DEFINITELY NEED THIS ANSWER BEFORE MY FRIEND AND ME BOOK THIS BIKE THIS MONTH END
Hey Husqvarna..
Bring back the old vitpilen 250..
You just had to decrease the seat height and provide an upright handle bar like that of swartpilen 250 as an alternate option..
You have killed the dream of many by launching this model..
Insearch of gold we lost the diamond
Bought is last month. Stalling at low speed too much. Anyone facing the same issue?? Any solutions??
Which was your previous bike
the butterflies
🙌
Seat height is disappointed.... It should be 800mm
Had a chance to drive in real life.
Looks like 125cc, feels like 150cc and drives like 99c
They should've retained the older and sharper design language. Sure, the practical upgrades that this gen comes with is nice but i think it has lost that old charm along the way
the proportions , alloys , tail and the front fender are disgusting compared to older gen ,
also the fact that they removed the round drl makes it worse
Gives ebike vibe
Oh man I understand the older vitpilen wasn't practical.... But that's how cafe racers should be, they could've made the body a lil bit longer and lowered a seat height a little... But this?? How are you guys even adoring this product... They've literally killed the whole appeal that came with the vitpilen. Why are they trying to make vitpilen into svartpilen??
A MEDICAL REP HAS TO SELL A CAPSULE EVEN IT WAS FILLED WITH CHEKKI ATA.
Is this a copy of bajaj freedom 😂😂😂😂
Old design was better 🤦🏻
Stfu just stfu y'all always complain this design looks so retro and beautiful and also practical
This is practical! Old will not help the company with the sales numbers in india
@@techyrh7780 neither will this one most likely 😢
Ofc that was gorgeous esp the Vitpilen. But I have to admit that was very uncomfortable. I'm still looking at that bike on the used market. Great bike for city rides
In person this bike looks really good.
Assuming no major vibes? as he never mentioned it
It vibrates a lot actually or maybe an issue with the test ride bike
Rishaad, 'Indians' have learnt to pronounce HOOSK-VERNA. 30% discount please.
🦋
And you can get ns 400 in that range 😅
Freedom 250 looks good 😂😂😂
The Vitpilen has lost it,
it used to look good.......
This motorcycle was made so that ktm sales go up. So ugly. The tail and the front fender. It's not like they're doing any sales anyway. The old one looks much better.
The Design is just not for me
Very good bike but reality is this is fail model 😅😢
naah
Chaapri riders killed the ktm duke legecy in india so now it felt shame buying the ktm bike
finallyyyyyyy
I am first viewer
The back part of the bike looks ugly
Husqonwada is a weak vibration bike
I forgot this exist.. I can spot more Lamborghini then this
700th LIKE
Editor forgot to add music 😅
It's good without that!
@@shadow_realm47 There is definitely a noticeable sound issue when the B-roll comes up. How can you justify that? It's a mistake, and it sounds terrible. I've been in video production for a long time, so I know what works and what doesn't.
I've been watching videos for a long time, I like it without the music
@@raghavjsankar3004 same:)
@@sauravkr2011Yeah for B rolls It's needed
Really not looking good...
First comment
ok
They made it uglier
Nah this doesn't look even half as good as the previous vitipilen .....
Totally agree with you. Its no more a cafe racer. Its like they merged svartpilen and vitpilen. Plus they made it a bit too practical. Backside though is very practical looks ugly now. Front also is not as good as earlier.
Diluted
The problem was that nobody was buying the bike. It was too unpractical. I took a test ride of the initial version but decided not to buy it.
Totally agree with you
It looks more like a powerful fzx🥲
@@SanuHazard lol 😂 u couldn't be more accurate with that description .... Fzx is one of the worst looking bikes and it's a shame to be placing the vitipilen in the same sentence with the fzx ....
It looks ugly
looks ugly
Isn't the Honda cb3oor a better bike to consider
Every time you put a bike video, I hope it were the Indian Scout 2025 lineup. But NO is what I've been getting.
