2025 Husqvarna Norden 901 Expedition Receives Small Updates

Husqvarna announced minor updates to the Norden 901 Expedition for 2025, along with making the adventure-tourer compliant with Euro5+ requirements. Not that major changes were needed, as the Expedition already offered an excellent package at a reasonable price point (U.S. pricing for 2025 hasn't been released yet, so we hope it will continue to offer good value).

This is probably going to be a prevailing theme for a lot of model updates coming in the next few months, as regulatory updates aren’t exactly a sexy sell. If they’re going to have to make changes to meet Euro5+, the OEMs might as well see what else they can improve. That’s probably a driving factor in Kawasaki updating the Ninja and Versys to a larger engine while keeping most of the bikes unchanged from the 1000s.

All that aside, let’s take a bit more of a look at the Expedition’s changes.

Husqvarna updated the lean-sensitive traction control system, adding a tenth level of rear wheel slip in the Explorer ride mode. The new USB-C port is located on the left side of the 5-inch TFT display, helping to keep the battery on electronics devices topped up. The new hazard warning system adds a new integrated handlebar switch, while the mirror stalks have a sharper bend, moving them a bit lower and further out to either side.

Beyond that, the Norden 901 Expedition is largely similar to last year’s model. Peak performance figures remain the same claimed 105 hp and 74 lb-ft. The engine is a stressed member of the chassis, connecting to a chromium-molybdenum steel frame. A Power Assist Slipper Clutch and bidirectional quickshifter come standard.

WP provides the fully-adjustable XPLOR suspension system, with 9.4 inches of travel on either wheel. The front wheel is equipped with dual radial-mount four-piston calipers and 320mm discs, while a single floating two-piston caliper and 260mm disc is equipped at the rear. A Bosch 9.1MP system includes cornering ABS that offers an off-road mode and is disengageable. Husqvarna claims a wet weight of 473 pounds, not including fuel in the 5.0-gallon tank.
