The Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition, a more feature-rich and off-road-ready version of the Norden 901, receives minor updates for 2025. While the bike remains the same mechanically, it benefits from changes to traction control, the exhaust system, and a few smaller features.
The Expedition’s lean-sensitive traction control has been revised for 2025. The system includes an updated slip adjuster and offers 10 levels of intervention to allow riders to select their preferences based on ability and the terrain. The adventure-tourer also gets a revised exhaust system to allow the parallel-Twin to breathe more freely while meeting emissions standards.

Convenience-based updates for 2025 include a new USB-C charging port on the left side of the dashboard and new hazard warning lights with an integrated handlebar switch. The bike also receives new mirrors.
Everything else remains the same, including the liquid-cooled 889cc parallel-Twin with DOHC. The bike has a chromoly-steel frame that uses the engine as a stressed member. Suspension includes a 48mm WP XPLOR fork and monoshock, both offering 9.4 inches of travel and adjustable for compression, rebound, and preload.
Braking is provided by J.Juan and includes two 320mm front discs paired with 4-piston radial-mounted calipers and a 260mm rear disc with a 2-piston floating caliper. It rides on tubeless spoked 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels shod in Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires. Wheelbase is 60.1 inches, ground clearance is 10.6 inches, seat height is 34.4-35.2 inches, fuel capacity is 5.0 gallons, and wet weight is 472.8 lb.
The bike also includes a touring windshield, heated grips and rider seat, side bags with 36 liters of storage, a centerstand, and a skid plate as standard.
Technology and rider aids on the 2025 Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition includes cornering ABS with Off-road mode, four ride modes (Street, Rain, Offroad, Explorer), traction control, the Easy Shift up/down quickshifter, and a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, music, and phone calls.
