Pros and Cons in comparison

Husqvarna Norden 901 2024

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 with its lavish standard equipment is a very suitable bike for travelling, but on the other hand, with its lengthy travel, lively engine and active ergonomics, it does not shy away from adventures.

Accessible yet exciting character

Good wind and weather protection for the lower half of the body

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
