Here's all the information you need to know about the Norden 901's suspension.


Aluminium swingarm
The signature gravity die-cast, open-lattice swingarm is precisely manufactured from lightweight aluminium and has been specifically engineered for stiffness and stability while still offering excellent flex characteristics.

By using a direct link for the rear shock, complexity and parts are reduced to allow for easy maintenance, while the specific length of the swingarm aids in traction, stability and suspension set-up.

  • Lightweight and strong for confident handling and comfort
Front suspension
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.

  • WP APEX 43 mm upside-down forks → precise performance and comfort
  • 220 mm suspension travel → perfect combination of street and offroad capability
  • Easy access clicker dials → effortless damping changes
Rear suspension
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.

  • WP APEX monoshock → adjustable for rebound damping and preload
  • 215 mm rear-wheel travel (78.5 mm suspension travel)

Interesting to see how many steps in rear damper it's will deliver with.and how to set it up with passanger.
I don't know but I hear some rumors about air suspension also.but its feel not true.or some wone here who heard about it.
Four weeks ago I rent a ktm 890 Adventure for a day to test the bike. Aproximately 250 km, I was really happy to feel a very consistent set up for fork and rear dumper, it doesn’t feel like a 21” front wheel bike.

I haven't seen or heard anything about air suspension. If that is their plan I imagine that change won't happen for a while as they launch the current bike.

Looking at the pictures, is the mono shock spring replaceable? I'm a big guy and will no doubt need stiffer front fork springs and a rear shock spring. I am hoping that Slavens will be able to help me out there.

Shock springs are removed for service and thus replaceable. Find a good local suspension shop. Stiffer springs often requires a re-valve to better control rebound.
