On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 is a very suitable motorbike for travelling with its lavish standard equipment, but on the other hand it does not shy away from adventures with its long suspension travel, lively engine and active ergonomics. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low-slung fuel tank, which makes life easy on and off the paved roads.

Great engine response

Linear rev band

Hardly any vibration in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

High level of ride comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

Accessible but at the same time exciting character

Tough

Reliable even on long tours

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds
