And as the bike heads out west from our exotic testing location in the Atlantic, this will continue to show as speeds increase and obstacles hit faster and harder. The Norden doesn’t have the off-road jumping, jamming and oh-sh*t-I-didn’t-see-that-coming performance of its cousin. We were warned by the Norden that we were pushing the limit, but we didn’t stop until the third or fourth solid fork-bottoming “clank!” Then, we got the message that this bike has limits, and they are very responsible ones at that.īut this is still a compromise.

We got plenty rowdy on the volcano rims and jungle roads and water crossings that make up Azores Island riding. The fact that I’m comparing it to an Adventure R is a compliment, as this bike is way ahead of the “standard” Adventure model and other midrange offerings, in my opinion. It is setup for smoothness, not aggression. Capable and comfortable, the Norden 901 seems to scream that mantra as you ride it. It makes washboard/rutted roads a buttery affair. It simply bites in the hands and wrists over the miles as its aggressive (race!) nature shows its teeth. We do have comfort issues with the Adventure R’s 48mm Xplor fork and rough paved roads or even those that seem not-so-rough. And while we’re clearly going to (and did!) max out the components of the Norden off-road, the comfort on the other end of the spectrum is a welcome touring companion. Second, it enters a new range of unique suspension travel, down from the “R” and up from the standard Adventure offering from the family. First, it shuns the Xplor family’s 48mm tubes up front that we constantly rave about off-road on the Adventure R. Spec’d with the WP Apex-series fork and shock group, the Norden moves through a new midrange of ADV travel movement of 8.66 inches (220mm) front and 8.46 inches (215mm) rear. The first outlying Norden-specific feature, other than styling, is its standard suspension componentry.

What’s truly fun about the Norden is its differences from the Austrian ADV norm. All of it you’ve heard before and all of it rings true here. Juan-built brakes are damn good and don’t seem to have the rear-brake cooking gremlins anymore.

We love the slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, and the J. We like the selectable ride modes, cornering traction control and cornering ABS, and we like turning them off, too. We like the power delivery of this parallel twin, a lot. The list of things we love about this bike are obvious. Nobody will mistake your Norden for another Austrian ADV bike, or any other ADV bike, for that matter. Is it right for you? Is it unique at all other than looks? Let’s find out. Norden is DNA-dominated by the potent KTM 890 Adventure R in engine, chassis and significant componentry, but is spec’d out in suspension and ergonomics to be more approachable and comfortable down the road. This is not a big Svartpilen or Vitpilen. The Norden 901 is the first real test of this positioning to a mass market to lead the brand into the future. They intentionally define motorcycling more as a journey to the unknown or unexpected, a push into yourself as much as it is down a new road or trail. Even if their business relies on the success of global competitive efforts to propel the brand into mainstream consideration, their ascension into the large street segment of motorcycling won’t be dominated by aggressive claims of hyper-dominance in all consumer components. Even if their product will never see a gate drop or finish line, they r-a-c-e, race! race! race! Until they’re orange-er in the face. In Husqvarna’s case, the alpha family member is orange, big, loud and all too proud, putting every fiber of their being on the starting line with competitive claims. Maybe it’s because I’m writing this at my in-laws over a holiday, but good or bad, relation can set pre-determined expectations for anyone. That’s a perfect use for it.įamily can be, well, difficult. It can take you places you wouldn’t normally see without motorcycles. Husqvarna built a world-tour-worthy adventure machine in the Norden 901. Can it live up to the hype-and family expectations. Husqvarna has bolted out of the niche and created an adventure touring machine with claims of world-travel comfort and convenience.
