Husqvarna Motorcycles has unveiled its new Norden 901 Expedition with its latest adventure machine receiving a boost in off-road and all-roads touring capability with the addition of new long-travel WP XPLOR suspension and a raft of other goodies.

The biggest news for off-road adventurers is Expedition’s new offroad-specific and fully adjustable WP XPLOR suspension, which offers 240mm of travel on the front and rear of the motorcycle versus 220mm/215mm front/rear travel on the standard Norden 901
