Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

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 level of ride comfort

Pleasantly tuned chassis

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
