401s Discontinued?

[GeoKrpan]

The Husqvarna site lists 2024 Vitpilen 401s but does not list 2025 Vitpilen 401s.

It does not list Svartpilen 401s at all, 2024 or 2025.

Probably because it’s unchanged.

The Svart 401 has completely vanished from the Husq site. It's as if it has been discontinued, at least on their US site.

It is not on the front page for naked but is there under configurator. Only 2024 though but both Svart and Vit and 401 and 125 and Svart only in 801.

The 125 is not sold in the US. Are you on the US site?

 

[Jester1971]

I thought I was but every time I try to pick a bike the site automatically goes back to uk.
I tried on my phone to go to USA site but there are no prices for any models only technical accessories.

It looks as though the 401s have been discontinued in the US.

Only the 2024 Vitpilen 401 is listed on the Husq site, probably leftovers, and when they're gone it will vanish from the site.

Small displacement bikes have a stigma on them in the US and KTM is in trouble, hard decisions have to be made.

Yammie Noob on YouTube just reviewed a 2024 Svart 401 and said that it's the best beginner bike.

I love my '22 Vit 401, not tempted to get a '24 401 or an 801.

Really? Sad.
Wonder if this will give our '22s some resale value..

I understand the latest generation is an upgrade, but to me having had the 2023, the latest gen seems like a downgrade.

I think so unless they become orphans.

It's also possible that the 401s will come back to the US in the future.

The latest gen is probably a better bike but I was only mildly tempted to trade up.

Not a fan myself of the 2024 model..
