Forget the Angeles Crest or Mulholland—we’re heading north of LA to Ojai to tackle California State Route 33. In the first episode of our new series, we explore this "hidden gem" of a road that winds through the mountains, climbing to over 5,000 feet at Pine Mountain Summit.

Joining us for the ride is Chris Fillmore from Husqvarna, as we put the all-new Svartpilen 801 and Vitpilen 801 to the test. From the fast-flowing sweepers to tight technical hairpins, we dive into how these 799cc Parallel-Twins handle one of California’s most rewarding (and least crowded) ribbons of asphalt.

In this video:

The Route: Why SR33 is a must-ride for any enthusiast.

The Bikes: A deep dive into the similarities and distinct differences between the Scrambler-style Svartpilen and the Roadster-inspired Vitpilen.

The Vibes: Exploring the town of Ojai—the perfect base camp for a weekend moto-getaway.

Pro Tip: Why you need heated grips and layers, even in Southern California!
