Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 Aero Concept

The AERO in the name refers to the addition of a fairing, which gives the motorcycle a more aerodynamic look. The approach is a tribute to the clean and cool Swedish simplicity of the iconic Silverpilen concept.

The VITPILEN 701 AERO concept is a modern faired sport bike with an innovative design approach that pays respect to the past in a uniquely progressive way. Its sporty look hints at the potential for a more performance-oriented future for the Husqvarna Motorcycles street range. By taking a closer look at the fairing, you can see how the design elements of every aspect of this bike have been thoroughly thought out and well executed, even the unseen details of the fairing have an air of elegance to them. Although the fairing structure is purely technical, all the parts speak the same design language, including the unique, round TFT display. The paint job for this bike is something special, but underneath the coat of blue and white is a powerful single-cylinder motor with modern electronics. The windshield completely changes the position of the cockpit, encouraging a lower, more locked-in position, for a fully immersive riding experience.

Unique to the VITPILEN 701 AERO is a component that highlights the ongoing evolution of the design synergy between simple form and progressive function. Mounted at the heart of the cockpit, is an immaculately constructed round, full colour TFT display, shaped to perfectly match the design language of the motorcycle. Its simple form and typically reduced Husqvarna Motorcycles style should not be mistaken for basic function, as this display version highlights the option to change several interface elements. The VITPILEN 701 AERO concept was the perfect platform to showcase this new component and to further emphasise Husqvarna Motorcycles’ intention to continue to pioneer new territory.
