Brakes
To excel on the road and on unmade surfaces the Norden 901 Expedition needs brakes with both power and control You can rely on the Bosch ABS controlled system to confidently deliver rapid and precise stopping no matter the surface or conditions you encounter The Husqvarna branded J Juan brake system brings MotoGP derived technology to the Norden 901 Expedition The four piston radial front calipers act on two 320 mm floating brake discs to give you exceptional feel and feedback at the lever The rear brake has a 260 mm disc and a two piston floating caliper The pistons in the rear caliper have isolation plates to maintain heat stability so the brake doesn 8217 t get stressed when you tackle long downhill sections on the trail The Bosch ABS system can be deactivated at the rear wheel for advanced riders

Steering Damper
The steering damper aids stability while riding on harsh street surfaces or when sudden bumps are encountered while still allowing for easy handlebar control when riding offroad Additionally the frame has provision to allow the fitment of a high performance adjustable offroad steering damper

Clutch
You will be quick to realise the benefits of the PASC power assist slipper clutch which maximises rear wheel grip under full acceleration and prevents rear wheel instability and hopping when downshifting quickly or braking hard into a turn You will also find it easier to operate because as you open the throttle the hand effort required on the clutch when changing gear is reduced Less fatigue means more riding pleasure for longer

Gearbox
The Norden 901 Expedition features a 6 speed sequential gearbox with a ratio to suit every condition from walking pace to flying highway speeds Quick and precise gear changing is ensured thanks to a short shift lever travel light spring action and when required the assistance of the standard Easy Shift quickshifter The teeth of the 4th 5th and 6th gears have been glass bead blasted to provide exceptional reliability

Ride Modes
To provide the most intuitive riding experience our individual riding modes automatically engage the suitable ABS setting With three selectable ride modes Street Rain Offroad and the advanced Explorer Mode you can instantly choose the best combination of rider aids just as quickly as the weather and terrain change Throttle response traction control level and peak power are all set up differently in each mode 8216 Street 8217 mode has a direct throttle response with traction control settings to match paved surfaces and Road ABS is engaged Smooth enough for less experienced riders or when travelling with a pillion yet dynamic enough to speed along twisting mountain roads and valleys 8216 Rain 8217 mode has a very smooth throttle response reduced peak power and early traction control intervention ABS is activated on road level and is especially sensitive The 8216 Offroad 8217 mode has a smooth throttle response and allows more wheel slip before it activates the traction control The mode is not lean angle sensitive the traction control does not intervene when you use a berm to turn plus the anti wheelie function is not engaged so you can lift the front wheel over obstacles In 8216 Offroad 8217 mode the ABS settings will automatically switch to offroad so you don 8217 t need to browse through the menu anymore The 8216 Explorer 8217 mode comes standard on the Norden 901 Expedition and gives you direct control over all functions to create your individual riding mode

Easy Shift
You can apply your full attention to mastering the terrain in challenging environments with the help of Easy Shift which allows you to make seamless up and down changes of the 6 speed gearbox A sensor detects when you actuate the gear lever and instructs the ECU to match engine parameters for a fuss free gear change at any RPM or engine load The Easy Shift system means shorter shift times and a smoother ride because there is no need to close the throttle and operate the clutch to change gear As well as improving rear wheel traction Easy Shift lets you maintain control by keeping full grip of the handlebars

Offroad ABS
You know that braking on unmade roads requires a different technique to road braking and the 8216 Offroad 8217 mode available in the Bosch ABS system recognises that adventure riding is about exploring the unknown and riding long distances and the need for the motorcycle to back you up in all situations In 8216 Offroad 8217 mode rear wheel ABS is deactivated its activation on the front wheel is reduced and data from the lean angle sensor no longer forms part of the system 8217 s calculations So you can now lock up the rear wheel to help steer into corners Because the front wheel ABS is set to be less intrusive in this mode the front brake can be used at full strength on loose surfaces Designed to boost functionality and confidence in every circumstance 8216 Offroad 8217 mode extends and refines the capabilities of Bosch ABS to match every adventure With the latest software update installed your riding modes will automatically engage the suitable ABS setting Only in the optional Explorer mode you will be able to select your preferred ABS mode seperatly

Cruise Control
When you find yourself on long clear stretches of road you can set the cruise control from the handlebar mounted switches and focus for a moment on the landscape ahead of you This is why you travel for those blissful moments when you feel part of the environment around you Cruise control is also a useful feature when you don 8217 t want to risk creeping over speed limits Also for your riding ease the Norden 901 Expedition features a height adjustable two piece seat with exceptional grip and comfort in cold conditions thanks to its heating function The aluminium tapered handlebar with six mounting positions provides an adjustment range of 30 mm front to rear for customisable ergonomics

MTC
You want rider aids that assist rather than restrict ensuring you always remain in control Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control MTC is lean angle sensitive and offers seamless interventions When the system detects that the rear wheel is turning at the wrong speed for the riding situation throttle input is reduced until the correct level of rear wheel slippage for the selected ride mode and current angle of lean is reached In 8216 Explorer 8217 mode you can control the level of MTC intervention with 9 levels of slip adjust When front wheel lift is detected the system reduces the throttle by small increments for a more constant acceleration As your ambition and experience grow you can if desired switch off the traction control to drift the rear and lift the front wheel at will
