With a roadster-inspired design, the Vitpilen 801 only features essential bodywork that wraps tightly around the upper frame to create a close connection between the rider and the machine.

• Frame

The Vitpilen 801 delivers advanced agility and stability through its compact tubular steel frame, with its geometry developed for a new breed of street motorcycle. Strong and light hydro-formed components are laser cut and robot welded to ensure precision and durability while a calculated balance of flex and rigidity offers outstanding feedback.

• LED projector lens

Illuminating the way in low-light situations, the Bi-LED headlight provides a seriously bright output and creates an unmistakable look for the Vitpilen 801. To make sure the machine is clearly visible at all times, a light ring surrounds the headlight and adds a distinctive style to the front end. At the rear, an LED taillight and turn signals integrate neatly into the bodywork to ensure the smooth contours of the bodywork are left undisturbed.

• Handlebar

Lightweight, anodized black, and with a flat bend, the aluminum handlebars ooze style and provide a perfect amount of flex for riders to feel what the chassis is doing beneath them. A WP steering damper boosts front wheel stability while adjustable bar mounts allow riders to set their preferred position for the handlebars.
