Husqvarna Motorcycles Unveils 2024 Norden 901

Husqvarna Motorcycles is pleased to introduce the 2024 Norden 901, which offers improved performance and technology thanks to multiple technical enhancements for 2024. An incredibly popular machine since its introduction in 2021, the Norden 901 ensures all adventure enthusiasts can explore the world their way.

The machine of choice for many adventure riders, the 2024 Norden 901 is wrapped in new gray and yellow graphics while underneath, it retains the same proven, torquey, 889cc parallel-twin engine. Together with its light-steel trellis frame, WP APEX suspension and multiple ride modes, the Norden 901 continues to offer outstanding comfort, particularly on longer rides when navigating rugged and challenging landscapes.

Husqvarna Motorcycles’ lean-angle sensitive Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (CMTC) now offers 10 different levels of rear wheel slip, which can be selected when the optional Explorer Mode is engaged. With a setting to suit all riding abilities, those with more experience will enjoy drifting through turns, while riders new to travel machines will benefit from confidence-inspiring traction when negotiating technical corners and unpredictable terrain.

Rounding out the new features found on the 2024 Norden 901 are a new USB port and Hazard Warning lights, which can be quickly switched on in the event of an emergency.

Underlining the premium build quality of the Norden 901, the components used on this versatile machine are all chosen for their performance and durability. The Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, Bosch Cornering ABS, a Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC) and multiple ride modes combine to create the ultimate riding experience.

Beta’s prototype testing has been going on for more than four years, and the manufacturer from Florence, Italy, is ready to release the production model to the masses. The wait is over for the all-new 2024 450 RX Motocross model.

Beta has kept no secrets in its desire to chase the world of motocross, with the early U.S. introduction of the 300 RX two-stroke model in 2021 about the same time as the first shots were taken of the prototype 450 RX four-stroke model racing in the MXGP championship. It is officially the first four-stroke motocross bike built by Beta; the 450 RX model was designed to carry on the Beta tradition of rideability: to offer a ride that is more forgiving while still providing performance that will encourage aggressive riding.
