The Husqvarna Norden 901 has been a hot item ever since its concept was shown off at EICMA 2018, and lauded internationally by the press and adventure motorcycle enthusiasts alike. However, the two years of lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic forced the delay of its debut in Malaysia.

But wait no more, because it is now here. The heady interest in Norden 901 is easy to see, given its retro styling and modern functionality.

By the way, "Norden" is a Scandinavian word which means the Nordic countries that include Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, the autonomous territories of Greenland and Faroe Islands, as well as the autonomous region of Aland.

Highlights:

• 899 cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, engine producing 105 hp and 100 Nm.
• The engine is from the same platform as the KTM 890 Adventure, hence with 20% rotating mass to increase flywheel effect and smoother throttle response.
• The engine has a long service interval of 15,000 km.

• PASC (Power Assist Slipper Clutch) equipped as standard.
• Easy Shift quickshifter equipped as standard for up and down gearshifts.
• Steel trellis frame for maximum strength, and passenger plus luggage carrying capacity.

• 19-liter fuel tank with part of the fuel carried on side tanks mounted down low for a lower centre of gravity.
• Slim line ergonomics for better handling of the motorcycle in off-road conditions as well as long distance comfort.

• WP steering damper included.
• Husqvarna branded brakes specifically Nmade by specialists J Juan (owned by Brembo) with Bosch dual-channel ABS featuring Cornering ABS and Off-Road ABS modes.
