Husqvarna Norden 901 2025

Husqvarna Norden 901 2025

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. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low tank, which makes life on and off the beaten track easy.

Linear torque curve

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

Height of travelling comfort

Accessible yet exciting character

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

Tough as nails

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after a cold start

Due to the width of the seat, the bike is quite high even with lengthy legs

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
