Husqvarna Motorcycles is proud to announce that the design concept of the all-new Vitpilen 701 realized by the Austrian based company Kiska has earned global recognition, winning an iF design award 2016 at the recent iF Product Design Awards Competition, held in Munich, Germany.

For over 60 years the iF Product Design Award forum has attracted thousands of product entries from all-over the world, with renowned experts recognizing outstanding achievements in design.
