Quick look: 2024 Husqvarna Norden 901

Husqvarna Motorcycles have announced updates to the Norden 901 adventure bike for 2024 with new, 10-level traction control plus a USB port for your plug-in accessories.

Dressed in new grey and yellow graphics for 2024, Husqvarna’s big adventure model the Norden 901 gets a fresh look for its new model year.

Fundamentally it is the same package with the proven 889cc parallel-twin engine in a steel trellis frame with WP APEX suspension and a heap of components aimed at making this an all-round, all-road traveller of hte highest order.

Husqvarna have focused attention on the lean-angle sensitive, Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (CMTC) system for the ’24 bike. It now features 10 different levels of rear wheel slip control which can be selected when the optional extra Explorer Mode is engaged.

They claim that’ll give riders a setting to suit all abilities from complete electronic control to power-slides all day at the other end of the scale.

Other new features include a USB port in the cockpit for plugging in your gadgets and new hazard warning lights, which they say can be quickly switched on in the event of an emergency (although, surely, that’s the case with all hazard warning lights and didn’t it have hazards anyway?).
