The new Norden 901 Expedition is Husqvarna’s latest take on the ever-expanding adventure bike class. Based on the original Norden 901, which was launched in 2022, the Expedition version has a range of significant upgrades ultimately aimed at giving the rider the ability to ride harder and tackle more technical terrain, whilst simultaneously increasing comfort levels. In many ways the clue of the direction of the bike is in the model name. Not content with the ‘Adventure’ or ‘Rally’ tags as used by their rivals, Husqvarna have plumped for ‘Expedition’. The stand out changes and upgrades over the base model Norden start with the screen. It may seem a minor point to major on so early in a review but it’s a significant upgrade that gives far better wind protection and reduces buffeting – while remaining unobtrusive. The level of electronics aids being introduced to the adventure bike class continues to grow which means manufacturers are unable to stand still in what is such a competitive market. To that end, the Norden Expedition has a wide range of rider aids and features an additional section in the electronics menu which unlocks the ‘Explorer’ mode. Priced at £13, 599 the Norden 901 Expedition is a lot of bike for the money in terms of technical specification and level of equipment. It’s £550 more expensive than a base model Honda Africa Twin but cheaper than a KTM 890 Adventure R and over £1200 cheaper than a Ducati DesertX which is impressive given the overall spec.
