From 16th August to 27th September 2025, Husqvarna Mobility will tour the UK with its new Escape the Ordinary Roadshow. This series of seven events invites curious riders to book a test ride and experience the latest Svartpilen 801 and Vitpilen 801 in a real-world setting – out on the open road. With Roadshow venues including popular motorcycle culture inspired cafés to Husqvarna dealers located across England, Scotland and Wales, there are plenty of opportunities to discover the superior rideability of these two outstanding machines. 
 
With their minimalist design, rich character, and exceptional capabilities on the tarmac, the Svartpilen 801 and Vitpilen 801 are two models that challenge convention. To make sure every test rider has the best experience possible, pre-planned routes will feature the best roads around each respective area. This also ensures the agility and smooth power of each machine can be truly appreciated. 
 
Starting at the Bike Shed Moto Co. in Shoreditch, London, the Escape the Ordinary Roadshow travels to all corners of the UK, heading as far west as Cardiff and as far north as Perth, Scotland, to give prospective pioneers the chance to experience Husqvarna's parallel twin street riding perfection. In addition, Roadshow attendees can dive into the detail of the stunning Svartpilen 801 Custom and Vitpilen 801 Custom currently on display at Bike Shed Moto Co. Shoreditch.
