- Expedition model gets technical updates
- Uses a 899cc, parallel-twin motor
- Could make its way to NZ in early 2025
Husqvarna Motorcycles has added a new variant to the Norden 901 adventure bike range called the Expedition. While it is based on the standard model, it gets technical updates to set it apart and will be available in global markets by the end of 2024.
To begin with, the Norden 901 Expedition comes with a new Slip Adjuster included in the Cornering Traction Control. The system has 10 settings to select from allowing riders of different skill levels to get their hands on the Norden. The Slip Adjuster, in particular, determines how much the rear wheel can slide out of corners. In addition to this, the new Norden 901 Expedition comes with a hazard light warning system, new mirrors, and USB-C charging port.
It also comes with heated grips and seat, a bash plate and four ride modes- Street, Rain, Offroad and Explorer. That said, the display offers turn-by-turn navigation as well as calls and music control as standard.
Husqvarna has also kitted the Expedition with a fully adjustable WP Xplor suspension setup, allowing adjustments to the compression, rebound and preload. Now, the 899cc parallel-twin engine pushes out 105bhp and close to 100Nm, in majorly unchanged. However, it does get a revised exhaust system which makes it Euro5+ compliant.
We can expect the motorcycle to make its way to New Zealand and Australian markets soon after its global launch.
