2023 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 test mules have been spied on the internaitonal turf. The updated bike hosts radical changes to its design.
Its been more than two years since Husqvarna entered the Indian market. However, there have not been many of them on the streets. Maybe the radical design or the shared KTM platform led to low sales. But, the good news is coming short for the fans of Husqvarna. The 2023 Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 test mules have been spied on city run globally. The updated bike will debut by the end of this year internationally.

MY23 Husqvarna Svartpilen Details
The spied test bike seemed to be the Svartpilen 125. Additionally, not just one but two test bikes were spotted. This possibly means that Husqvarna is developing a road-oriented variant along with the MY23 model. So, what are the main changes?
Well, the front now uses a headlight cowl that looks good. The headlight, however, is the same unit unchanged with the LED setup. Husqvarna's instrument cluster has been a letdown to many potential buyers. The test bike used a TFT display from the KTM Duke 125; which is a good upgrade.
Meanwhile, the frame seems to have been reworked to make it longer. This is evidently visible as the single seat is now longer and even more flat than the current bike. Come to the tail section and the first thing to notice is the new bigger LED taillight itself. Additionally, the rear tyre hugger has been redesigned as it now looks more generic to the overall appeal.
The technical specifications of the new bike are expected to remain the same more or less. This means that the USD WP forks and the single adjustable monoshock at the rear will continue being features. However, we do not think that the engine will undergo any power increments. Apart from this, the road-oriented variant looked more aggressive. It was packed with the alloy wheels seen on the new KTM RC 390.
When Husqvarna was introduced in India, it promised to bring more models. However, the reality has not been as the expectations for the brand. Hence, a makeover might change its fate in India. The 125 siblings from Husqvarna will debut in Q1 of 2023 globally.
