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

The development of the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports away from a high-legged off-road bike to a touring bike with a 19-inch front wheel will be a step in the right direction for most Adventure Sports customers. The majority of them ride mainly on paved roads and are happy about better handling, more stability and confidence when leaning and more accessible thanks to the lower seat height. The electronics and DCT have also been fine-tuned in the background, which means that the new Adventure Sports does a lot of things right. Despite these changes, you don't have to do without off-road passages. Even with the smaller wheel and shorter suspension travel, the Adventure Sports remains ready for adventure.

Superbly responsive, now even more torquey engine

Bassier sound than before

Semi-active suspension as standard

Finely controllable brakes

19-inch front wheel and wider tyres raise cornering performance to a new level

Lower seat height makes the mighty Adventure Sports more accessible

Good wind protection

Tough off-road terrain now more difficult to master

riders over 1.85 m get loud turbulence on the helmet even in the highest windshield position

5 kg more on the ribs than before
