The short version

Underneath the flat-track styling the Svartpilen 401 is a 390 Duke: same 45 hp single, same electronics, same WP suspension. Husqvarna charges fifty euros more and answers with a standard quickshifter and design that does not look like anything else in the class.

Where it wins

Quickshifter standard where KTM charges extra
Same class-leading engine and electronics as the 390 Duke
Distinctive design with real build quality

Where it loses

13 litre tank gives away range to the Duke
Blocky scrambler tyres blunt the chassis slightly
