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
