The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is a discontinued 399 cc liquid-cooled motorcycle with a 6-speed gearbox. BikeWale lists 42.9 bhp @ 9,000 rpm maximum power, 39 Nm @ 7,000 rpm maximum torque, dual-channel ABS, disc brakes at both ends, a 13.5 litre fuel tank and a 171.2 kg kerb weight.
The Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 is a motorcycle from Husqvarna. It was launched in 2018 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 398.6 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.
Power comes from a 398.6 cc liquid-cooled engine that makes 42.9 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (89.0 x 60.0 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 254 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. Its slipper clutch lightens the lever and stops the rear wheel hopping when you downshift hard.
It is built around a new steel-trellis frame and subframe. Suspension is by adjustable WP APEX USD forks, 43mm diameter at the front and WP APEX monoshock, preload adjustable at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking.
The seat is 820 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 171.2 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 177 mm — enough for most speed breakers. The wheelbase is 1,368 mm. It carries 13.5 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console.
For the Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹2,199 doorstep service.
With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
These figures come from a single publication (BikeWale) and have not been confirmed against the manufacturer. The model is discontinued. Exact values can differ slightly by variant and model year.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹2,199
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as 12V, 8Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
