901 sees us move into another market segment – travel . The motorcycle was unveiled to a highly enthusiastic reception at EICMA 2019 and there has been mounting anticipation ahead of its launch . Now it is finally here , and we believe that the Norden 901 will become a class-leading favourite of riders with the ambition to explore further .” Since we first saw the bike as a concept it has evolved into a more conventional production version . Gone is the tank mounted luggage rack that looked ready to rip your testicles off if you went over the bars , while the dash TFT has also gone conventional on us with a traditional single 5-inch TFT screen instead of the stacked twin TFTs as seen on the concept . The Norden will offer an Optional Connectivity Unit though which will help provide turnby-turn navigation , telephone call reception and music selection functionality from the rider ’ s smartphone directly to the TFT screen . The Ride Husqvarna Motorcycles App is also required for phone connectivity . Being a premium European adventure product , the Norden 901 is dripping in high-end electronics . The braking system is backed up by switchable Bosch Cornering ABS with Street and Offroad modes . Husqvarna Motorcycles ’ lean-angle sensitive Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control ( MTC ) is also there to assist ,
