Husqvarna is tweaking the Norden 901 to increase its touring potential and broaden the appeal of the model. The new Norden 901 Expedition has upgrades to the suspension, rider comfort and storage over the standard model.
The Expedition gets long-travel WP XPLOR suspension, fully adjustable for compression, rebound, and preload settings to create a personalised set-up based on individual preferences.
Heated grips and rider seat, and a larger Touring Windshield increases the comfort on cold mornings and long trips and the package is completed by the fitment of soft panniers, offering 36 litres of capacity.
The mechanical architecture remains the same, with an 889 cc parallel-twin engine producing 105 hp and 100 Nm of torque. It is housed inside a steel trellis frame, which provides exceptional agility, rider feedback, and comfort throughout the longest of riding days.
Completing the build and improving ease-of-maintenance and protection, a new centre stand, engine guard, and Connectivity Unit are fitted as standard. With the Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles app installed onto a smartphone, and with the device paired to the motorcycle’s Connectivity Unit via Bluetooth, riders will benefit from downloadable maps, Turn-by-Turn+ navigation, Call-In, Call-Out, and view real-time traffic information, music selection and volume using the handlebar-mounted buttons.
The media launch for the new Norden 901 Expedition is later this month so we’ll bring you our impressions as soon as we’re back. In the meantime, contact your nearest Husqvarna dealer for more information.
