Next-gen KTM Duke 390, Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Vitpilen 401 reach PH roads

MANILA: Lucky MAPI introduced three next-generation models month after its official takeover of KTM and Husqvarna distributorships in the Philippines. 

All three offerings — namely the KTM Duke 390 as well as the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and Vitpilen 401 — feature updated looks, more sprightful mills, and upgraded technological features.

Below are some notable details about the newly-launched Austrian-developed, next-generation models for the Philippine market.

Specifications

Below are the wheelbase and seat height measurements of the three models:

	KTM Duke 390	Husqvarna 401 Svartpilen	Husqvarna 401 Vitpilen
Wheelbase (in millimeters [mm>)	1,357	1,368	1,368
Seat height (in mm)	820	820	820

Fitted in front of their handlebars are rectangular digital clusters that shows the following details:

• Revolutions per minute reading
• Fuel gauge and consumption reader
• Voltmeter
• Speed meter
• Trip meter

All three models are equipped with the same 399-cubic centimeter single-cylinder, four-stroke gasoline-powered engine that can dish out:

Maximum output (in horsepower)	44
Peak torque (in Newton-meters)	39

Power is sent to the wheel via its six-speed manual transmission with mechanically-operated anti-hopping clutch.

The aforementioned powertrain combination allows the vehicle to do 29.4-kilometers-per-liter.

Guaranteeing the halts and decelerations is their brake system made up of:

• Front: 320 mm disc-type four-piston radial fixed caliper
• Rear: 240 mm disc-type single-piston floating caliper

Additionally, these motorcycles have the Bosch 9.3 MP two-channel anti-lock braking system.

Further, its powder coated steel trellis frame and WP APEX suspension set-up for both front and rear enhance riding stability.

To ensure their competitiveness in prices, all three motorcycles are being retailed P309,000 each.
