Bajaj Auto today announced prices of the much-awaited Husqvarna twins in India– Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250 at ₹1.80/- lakhs. Both the motorcycles were unveiled at India Bike Week in Goa.

The Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen have a unique Swedish design language. The Svartpilen 250 has a more rugged design with an upright stance. It comes with dual purpose tyres and is capable of taking both on and off-road journeys. The Vitpilen 250 has a sportier design, clip on handlebars and a front lean riding position.

The Husqvarna twins are superbly crafted and will be a game changer in the lifestyle performance segment. They offer a great package of superior dynamic performance and a unique Swedish design language. The Husqvarnas are meant for progressiveriders who have an evolved taste, a strong  appreciationfor style and don’t want a compromise between performance and elegant design.
