Husqvarna Norden 901: At a glance
The Husqvarna Norden 901 will be based on the KTM 890 Duke R, and have an off-road-friendly design, sporting a sloping fuel tank, a slightly stepped-up seat, an upward-bent exhaust pipe, and a raised transparent windshield.
The adventure tourer will pack a digital instrument console, an all-LED lighting setup, a rounded headlamp, handguards, and spoked wheels wrapped in tires suitable for off-roading.

To ensure the safety of the rider, the Husqvarna Norden 901 is expected to come equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels along with dual-channel ABS for improved handling on roads.
Meanwhile, suspension duties on the premium adventure tourer should be managed by fully-adjustable, split-function Apex forks from WP.
