More info on the Norden 901 and Norden 901 Expedition is expected to be released on Feb 01.
2023 Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition Certified By EPA
Upgraded Norden variant expected Feb. 1

When the Husqvarna Norden 901 entered the market for 2022, one of the first things we asked was when we would see a more adventure-focused version. That is, after all, the modus operandi for Husqvarna’s sister brand, KTM, which gave the 890 Adventure an upscaled R version.

We don’t have much longer to wait, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has certified the 2023 Norden 901 alongside a new Norden 901 Expedition model.

While we haven’t heard any official word yet, the Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition has been anything but a secret, with photos and even video of the bike popping up around the internet since Husqvarna’s dealer summit last July. We’ve embedded one video below, and members NordenForums.com have shared photos from the dealer meeting.

Based on the photos and other details shared on NordenForums.com, the Expedition will come standard with soft luggage, a touring windscreen, a heftier skid plate, heated seat and grips, center stand, GPS mount with a connectivity unit, and special graphics. The Norden 901’s WP APEX 43 fork will be replaced with longer-travel 48 mm XPLOR forks, though there was no mention of changes to the rear suspension. The Expedition will also come standard with the customizable Explorer ride mode which was offered as an optional accessory for the regular Norden 901.

Several members of the forum claim to have already put down deposits for a Norden 901 Expedition, with an expected U.S. MSRP of $15,799, or $1,300 more than a regular Norden 901. Members also report being told that official information will be released on Feb. 1. If that holds true, then we should have more details in a little more than a week.

that is a ton of extra's for a measily $1300. smackers (in my mind, anyway)

The luggage alone would be 1/2 of that or more.

Yes, an amazing deal for the suspension, heated grips/seat, etc., but I think the luggage is (apparently) kind of crap....
There is a long thread elsewhere on here detailing some individuals struggles with reinforcing it, adding extra mounting points, etc., but still maybe nice to have for shorter day and overnight trips.

Has anyone heard of a release date, the Expedition may not arrive in time for riding season in Canada.

Hi from germany.
I spoke to a dealership today and they confirmed all the things mentioned here. Though they could not confirm the center stand. The suspension are be the WP Xplor forks and shock, which will be less harsh then the 890 adventure R's and more road biased. What ever that means shrug.

First bikes will arrive at the end of march here in germany for ~16,500€ which is about 1,500€ extra then the base norden.
