Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition 2023

The basic model of the Husqvarna Norden already has a lot to offer, but the new "Expedition" manages to go one better with its improved chassis and additional equipment. It is as versatile as a Swiss army knife. There is hardly a task it doesn't seem up to. Precise and sporty on the road, and equally robust and confidence-building off-road. A real do-it-all machine! Considering the extensive additional equipment, not least the price seems to be in order compared to the basic North. With a view to the even sportier KTM 890 Adventure R, it should be noted that Husqvarna also remains somewhat more faithful to the idea of comfort with the Expedition.

High-quality and fully adjustable chassis

great comfort in the saddle

improved off-road capabilities

top-of-the-range equipment as standard

powerful yet smooth-running engine

agile geometry

good fuel consumption figures

high-quality appearance and finish.

874mm seat height critical for small people

no USB slot in cockpit

standard soft luggage not top quality

Ducati DesertX Rally 2024

Ducati DesertX Rally 2024

The Ducati Desert X Rally sets new standards in the medium-weight touring enduro segment and impresses with its outstanding off-road capabilities. Its high-quality suspension, consisting of Öhlins steering dampers and Kayaba components, provides a safe and familiar riding experience, even on difficult off-road terrain. The V2 engine offers both sporty aggressiveness and a smooth riding style. Overall, the Ducati Desert X Rally offers an impressive blend of sportiness and comfort. The biggest drawback is the price, which is significantly higher than the competition
