This neo-retro adventure tourer is based on the 890 Duke’s parallel twin motor


  • The Husqvarna Adventure is part of the upcoming 901 series. 
  • It features a retro-style design with a tall windshield, round LED headlamp and more!
  • It’s expected to feature a Euro 5-compliant motor.

Swedish brand Husqvarna is known to produce some of the best off-road bikes in the market, and to exploit this segment further it has now introduced the all-new Norden 901 Adventure concept bike. While it’s based on the  KTM’s parallel-twin platform, it looks nothing like the 790 Adventure and gets its own unique design to set it apart.

Following the brand’s neo-retro design language, the ADV looks like it’s inspired from the early-90s Dakar rally machines featuring a tall windscreen, round LED headlamp and fog lights integrated into the fairing. The bike also features flared lower belly panels, which act as a deterrent against harmful objects and debris.

As mentioned earlier, the Norden 901 Adventure is based on the new 890 Duke’s parallel-twin motor which is rated to make 121PS of power and 99Nm of peak torque. The motor comes mated to a 6-speed transmission.

In terms of kit, the Husqvarna 901 comes equipped with long travel USD forks and a monoshock from WP, both of which are fully adjustable. Putting the anchor down are twin disc brakes up front and a single disc at the rear from.  Its tyre setup comprises 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tyres from.

Though Husqvarna has big plans for the Indian market, it’s highly unlikely for the 901 Adventure to make it to India. Not anytime soon at least.
