Back in 2021, Husqvarna teased the incoming Norden 901 with a series of videos featuring five-time Dakar winner Cyril Despres and explorer Mike Horn. These videos showed the pair testing the prototype 901’s mettle in Iceland. While Despres has tons of off-road experience, Horn has a bunch of exploration experience outside of bikes—so Husqvarna thought their skills would be an interesting complement out on its new adventure machine.
Now that it’s 2023 and the Norden 901 Expedition is the newest iteration of the platform, Husky decided to reunite Despres and Horn for the occasion. New bikes, after all, call for new adventures.So, where did the two go this time? To further test what the Norden 901 Expedition is made of, Despres and Horn went to experience the rugged, gorgeous terrain of Mongolia for themselves.
