Designed and built to reach the most remote destinations, this highly reliable and technically enhanced touring machine is characterised by the distinctive colour scheme applied to its ergonomic bodywork. Built for pioneers, your next journey starts with the Norden 901 Expedition.
Wherever you venture, the chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame is designed for distance and able to deliver day-long comfort. By using the engine as a stressed member, the frame design is also light, compact, and engineered to deliver precise feedback. It also provides a light feeling through tight corners in addition to assured stability and comfort when riding off-road on less-travelled tracks. The geometry of the Norden 901 Expedition is formulated to create a world-class travel motorcycle and features perfect ergonomics for a comfortable riding experience throughout every voyage of discovery.
The Norden 901 Expedition encourages you to explore further, whether on the daily commute or a month-long excursion. Form follows function throughout the bodywork that combines style with simplicity and from every angle, the Norden 901 Expedition oozes class and a purposeful look. Equipped with a fuel tank capable of taking you upwards of 400 km and positioning the fuel low on the machine for un-compromised handling, the shape also protects your feet from trail dirt and spray.
You are well prepared for all circumstances with the Norden 901 Expedition's 21 in front and 18 in rear wheels, which will take you from tarmac to rough trails. You can have every confidence in the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres - grippy on the road and able to find traction on the trail. The wire-spoked, tubeless design of the wheels makes them light for easy handling, flexible for comfort and there is less risk of a flat tyre holding you up and losing you precious riding time. The large diameter of the wheels makes rolling over rougher surfaces easy..
Ride further, for longer, and benefit from considerably reduced fatigue with the touring windshield. Protecting the rider by deflecting wind around them, the windshield makes long days aboard the Norden 901 Expedition remarkably comfortable, especially on extended rides at higher speeds. A clever air pass in the centre results in less turbulence on the helmet reducing wind noises and relieving neck musculature.
Housed inside the front cowl, the LED lights and fog lights clearly illuminate whatever path you choose to follow. A distinctive round headlight makes you and your Norden 901 Expedition visible in all conditions and to complete the modern look, the indicators also use LED technology for clear and safe signalling.
To provide the most intuitive riding experience our individual riding modes automatically engage the suitable ABS setting. With four selectable ride modes (Street, Rain, Off-road) 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. 'Street' 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. 'Rain' 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 'Off-road' 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 'Offroad' mode the ABS settings will automatically switch to off-road, so you don't need to browse through the menu.
Every twist of the ride-by-wire throttle delivers just the right amount of power you require to reach new horizons. A pair of balancer shafts in the 889 cc, double overhead cam, liquid cooled, parallel twin engine increase comfort and reduce vibration, adding to your riding pleasure. The engine has plentiful power, with a maximum output of 77 kW (105 hp) at 8,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. This, combined with finesse and manageability, make the engine capable of delivering everything you demand of it, wherever you want to go. Long service intervals of 15,000 km and low fuel consumption make the Norden 901 Expedition's engine even better suited to the tasks you set for it.
For confidence-inspiring braking, the Norden 901 Expedition features quality braking components for reliable performance. J.Juan brake systems front and rear, together with a Bosch ABS system, provide controlled stopping power on every surface and in all conditions. On the front wheel, two 320 mm floating discs are paired with four-piston radial callipers, while a single 260 mm disc and a two-piston calliper on the rear combine to offer exceptional braking. The cornering sensitive system automatically adjusts the braking force, allowing riders to brake safely and efficiently even when at high lean angles.
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.
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.
