2022 Norden 901

The Norden 901 is an exceptional adventure touring motorcycle. Powered by a smooth and torquey 899 cc parallel twin with an output of 105 hp and housed in a light steel trellis frame, the Norden 901 is the complete long-distance travel package. Offroad ready suspension with long travel will take you across the terrain you wish to traverse, while comfortable ergonomics make every journey an adventure – not a trial. Explore the world your own way with the new Norden 901.

ENGINE

The 889 cc, double overhead camshaft, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine features the latest technology in terms of design and electronics. The maximum power output of 77 kW (105 hp) at 8000 rpm and torque of 100 Nm at 6500 rpm are outstanding figures that leave riders in no doubt of the performance potential of this state-of-the-art masterpiece. The extremely lightweight engine weighs only 53.4 kg without oil but including all components such as electric start, throttle bodies, clutch and coolant lines. Reliability, durability and efficiency are guaranteed by technical solutions such as active crankcase evacuation and a semi dry-sump lubrication which reduce oil friction and pump losses contributing to the long 15,000 km service intervals and extremely low fuel consumption, in-turn lowering the cost of ownership of this class-leading twin cylinder power plant.

Cylinder

A smooth power delivery is guaranteed thanks to the state-of-the-art four-valve twin cylinder head with chain-driven camshafts and single-spark ignition. The camshafts are assembled from lightweight materials to achieve a weight advantage compared with forged camshafts, and the cam profile has been developed to create an especially torquey engine. The 37 mm steel intake and 30 mm exhaust valves with oval steel springs are actuated via DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated finger followers for minimal friction while delivering exact valve timing at higher engine speeds. The camchain is tensioned by a hydraulic chain tensioner which provides outstanding reliability.

In addition, the intake ports have been computer fluid dynamics (CFD) flow-optimised for the maximum air flow needed for high performance.

Flow-optimised intake ports – maximum airflow for high performance and smooth engine character

FRAME

The frame uses a tubular chromium-molybdenum steel frame with the engine as a stressed member to reduce weight and size. The overall design and engineering were aimed at providing a compact unit and weight reduction to guarantee high levels of agility and stability. The laser-cut components are robot-welded and hydro-formed ensuring flawless precision and consistent quality. By using high-grade chromium-molybdenum tubular steel, detailed feedback is delivered to the rider through precisely engineered torsional rigidity and longitudinal flex. Additionally, the premium black powder coating and standard frame protectors guarantee superior protection and durability.

The geometry of the motorcycle was developed to create a world-class travel bike. It provides light handling and is sporty on the street, while also being comfortable for longer distances and offering unrivalled offroad capability. The rear shock is angled to reduce seat height. The rider position is relatively close to the front wheel, improving front wheel feel and grip while the compact frame allows for a long swingarm to aid traction.

The steel trellis subframe helps keep overall weight low. It was developed to be compact, lightweight but also strong enough to carry a passenger and luggage under the challenging conditions that can be expected when exploring beyond the paved road.

Precisely engineered torsional rigidity and longitudinal flex – detailed feedback for maximum rider confidence and comfort
Lightweight construction – excellent agility and handling

FORKS

The WP APEX 43 mm upside-down front forks with 220 mm travel deliver precise performance and comfort in varying environments. Using a split damping function on the open-cartridge forks, compression and rebound damping can be adjusted effortlessly using the easy access clickers located on the fork tube tops. These allow the rider to personalise the ride characteristics to their own preference and varying conditions.

A steering damper aids in stability when riding on harsh street surfaces but does not interfere with offroad riding. Additionally, the frame is ready for high-performance adjustable offroad steering dampers.

220 mm suspension travel – perfect combination of street and offroad capability
Easy access clicker dials – effortless damping changes

REAR SHOCK

The Norden 901 is fitted with a WP APEX shock absorber providing 215 mm of rear-wheel travel for the perfect balance of street and offroad riding with all-day riding comfort. The damping behaviour can be adjusted with a rebound damping adjuster and there is a hand adjuster for spring preload. The rebound damping adjustability allows the rider to adapt the shock’s response for different riding situations, while the quick adjustment of the spring preload allows for different loadings of the bike such as when luggage or a passenger are carried.

STEERING

Lightweight, strong and stiff for stability, with the right amount of flex to provide the rider with feel for what the chassis is doing.

The forged aluminium triple clamps are a mark of the premium quality that comes as standard on the Norden 901. Crafted using lightweight aluminium, the triple clamps are designed with a specific rigidity to ensure high levels of strength and tracking stability while also delivering precise chassis feedback and comfort to the rider. Additionally, the steering stem is made of high-strength aluminium instead of steel for excellent reliability with minimal weight.

Aluminium tapered handlebars allow maximum control while offering a comfortable riding position and the six handlebar mounting positions provide an adjustment range of 30 mm (front to rear) for customisable ergonomics.

FUEL TANK

The fuel tank is a central element of the design and engineering concept of the Norden 901. The target was to provide slim ergonomics similar to those of a Dakar Rally bike. Based on extensive experience from motorsports development, the rotation-moulded fuel tank places its main volume ahead of the rider’s knees, wrapped around the centrally mounted engine.

This lowers the centre of gravity and helps provide spirited handling, both on the street and offroad. Additionally, the tank does not disturb freedom of movement as it allows for a straighter seat, giving the rider more freedom to move between riding positions. It also allows the seat to be lower which aids in the overall accessibility of the motorcycle without compromising ground clearance.

Fuel capacity is approximately 19 litres which combined with exceptional fuel economy gives a range of about 400 km, providing a significant advantage on extended journeys. A premium filler cap featuring a machined Husqvarna Motorcycles logo adds to the functional design of the fuel tank.

The lower part of the tank also protects the rider’s legs from cold air, dirt or water spray when travelling in demanding conditions.

BRAKES

The Norden 901 features a state-of-the-art Husqvarna branded J.Juan braking system. With its MotoGP-derived technology, the leading Spanish brake supplier delivers exceptional performance and reliability. Black anodised brake calipers and a lasered Husqvarna Motorcycles logo highlight the progressive design and premium finish.

Up front, four-piston, radially mounted brake calipers and two Ø 320 mm brake discs allow for a perfect mix of control and stopping power on tarmac and loose surfaces. The strength of the piston spring in the master cylinder has been specifically calculated for exceptional feel and feedback at the brake lever, while ‘Slim-Seal’ technology allows for greater precision in the pressure applied by the caliper pistons.

The rear brake features a Ø 260 mm brake disc actuated by a two-piston floating caliper. The isolated pistons in the caliper in conjunction with isolation plates between the pads and pistons provide exceptional heat stability when the brake gets stressed in long downhill sections. Additionally, the rear caliper brake hose fittings are made of stainless steel in order to help dissipate heat.

The Bosch ABS system fitted as standard prevents wheel lock-up under hard braking and can be deactivated on the rear wheel for more advanced riders.
