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

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
