The Husqvarna Norden 901 concept debuted to great fanfare at EICMA 2019. Though the prototype generated immense interest in the brand, Husky—hamstrung by the COVID-19 pandemic—couldn't release the production model until two years later, in November, 2021. When the Norden finally broke cover, however, many customers were surprised to see that the adventure-tourer couldn’t quite match up with its KTM cousin, the 890 Adventure R.
All signs point to that changing in 2023, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently certified the Norden 901 and Norden 901 Expedition variants for the new model year. While the approval certainly bodes well for the upcoming release, Husqvarna hasn’t exactly kept the secret under wraps.
