Being a cafe-racer, the Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 features a slightly lean-forward riding stance thanks to the low-set clip-on handlebars. On the other hand, the Svartpilen 250 is more of a scrambler and thus, has been equipped with a high-rise off-road style handlebar. It also has a more relaxed riding position. Apart from that, Husqvarna has also added a luggage rack on the fuel tank of the Svartpilen 250.
