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

It's impressive how well the bike manages the balancing act between on- and off-road, doing exactly what a touring enduro should be able to do, or what you still want to do with a touring enduro. And it does so with a degree of maturity that is astonishing for a new model and shows that Triumph has done its homework and has sensibly further developed the already underrated Tiger 800. Even if some die-hard Tiger fans may miss the now less pronounced, typical whistle of the three-cylinder. The question of whether the Tiger 900 Rally Pro is ready for the road can only be answered with a "when do you want to go again?

Three-cylinder engine full of character

significantly improved off-road capability

comfortable suspension elements

quickshifter with blipper as standard

generous standard equipment, even heated seats for rider and passenger

good ergonomics

good wind and weather protection

long-distance capability.

Handguards not very robust for off-road use

flood of switches on left handlebars
