Husqvarna to offer test rides on two models in the UK as part of European riding tour
Husqvarna is set for an organised tour across some of Europe’s most recognisable cities, with the UK included.
Test rides on Husqvarna’s Svartpilen 801 and Vitpilen 801 models will soon be available as part of the Swedish brand’s upcoming Escape the Ordinary Roadshow tour.
The organised events will visit some of the most recognisable cities across Europe, with test ride opportunities provided throughout.
And the events now include the UK, with three locations set to feature in August, which also happen to be the only three places the tour will visit across the entire month.
Those locations include London (August 16), Keighley (August 23) and Gloucester (August 30). Four more stops will take place in the UK, in September, with Ipswich and Bonvilston near Cardiff also part of the tour on September 7 and 13, respectively.
The UK stops continue with Perth on September 20, before test ride opportunities can be had in Bristol on September 27.
Husqvarna says the events' locations have been carefully planned to ensure an “authentic and engaging riding experience”.
All test rides will start on the outskirts of urban areas and they will all be on a Svartpilen 801 or Vitpilen 801 bike.

Outside of the UK, five countries across Europe are included in the tour, with Austria, Germany, France, Italy and Spain also set to feature.
The tour will conclude on November 7 to the 8 with the final stop scheduled for Cordoba, Spain. You can register your interest on the official Husqvarna website.
