New Connectivity Unit Offroad and GASGAS+ App

New connectivity unit offroad and GASGAS+ App to change the way you ride and set up your GASGAS dirt bike.

Enjoy bike tuning at your fingertips and take your riding to the next level.

Customize your 2024 GASGAS dirt bike from your smartphone with the groundbreaking Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) and GASGAS+ app! Available now for our 4-stroke motocross and cross country models only, the CUO can be found at all GASGAS dealers worldwide while the app can be downloaded to your smartphone for free! Offering full customization of your bike’s power delivery, the ability to save multiple motor set-ups, and taking the guesswork out of suspension set-up, the CUO and GASGAS+ app are a real game-changer for all riders.
  • New Connectivity Unit Offroad and GASGAS+ app available now
  • Create and save multiple motor and suspension set-ups to suit different tracks
  • Improve your riding and technical abilities using the new, free to download GASGAS+ app

Making sure you get maximum performance from your bike is what the new Connectivity Unit Offroad was designed for. After introducing the CUO on the 2024 MC 250F Factory Edition and MC 450F Factory Edition bikes last year, we now want all GASGAS 4-stroke riders to benefit from the latest dirt bike technology. As you play with settings and learn, your riding and technical knowledge will grow together, helping you to develop as both a rider and bike tuner!

Available now, the CUO is easy to fit and once paired with the new GASGAS+ app you can begin tuning the power to suit your style, or the track conditions, using your phone. Multiple set-ups can be saved for future reference and applied at various circuits, saving you time, and making sure you ride with the best performance from your motor. Owners of our 2024 Factory Edition models love the CUO, so if you own a stock 4-stroke GASGAS motocross or cross country bike, you can now benefit from the same technology.

If you’re just looking to perfect your suspension set-up, then the free GASGAS+ app is just what you need to ride in complete comfort on any type of circuit. After guiding you through setting the sag, you can then start from a number of recommended settings for different racetracks, or start from scratch. The choice is yours and you can save multiple set-ups for various conditions. There’s also a virtual garage within the app where you can add and remove your bike or bikes, view owner’s manuals, and record your maintenance and servicing.

The GASGAS+ app has another awesome feature – RIDER. For this to work you’ll need a special front fender to install a GPS sensor (both are also available now as Technical Accessories) and you’ll then be able to record your lap times, analyze everything about how your bike is running, and so much more…

GASGAS+ App features in a little more detail…

ENGINE – Choose between predefined maps based on the track type, and track conditions, or use the ADVANCED mode to create your map from scratch. The ENGINE feature gives you full control of the Engine Braking, Throttle Response, Traction Control, Launch Control, and Quickshifter sensitivity. You can then save all of your favorite mappings and activate the most suitable one when you arrive at each track, then make changes between sessions or races if you need to.

RIDER – Within this feature of the app, which is powered by LITPro and receives data from the CUO and GPS fitted to the front fender, you can review your session or race by downloading the data into the app for detailed analysis. It offers amazing insights into your riding (lap and section analysis, airtime, corner analysis, and Lap99 analysis) and allows you to visualize your engine data at the same time, with up to 15 values selectable (engine RPM, gear position, throttle position, map switch mode, and many more). Once you download the session you can analyze your performance, compare laps, and compete with others on a virtual leaderboard. The RIDER feature is only available as an annual subscription with a four-week trial period, with pricing then starting at €69,99 in Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Prices are dependent on the ordering country.

SUSPENSION – This feature of the app has two main functions. SAG ASSISTANT helps you find the correct SAG for each individual bike. To achieve this, ‘Bike on Stand’ and ‘Bike with Rider’ are asked by the app when setting the sag. By using the SUSPENSION SETTING section, you can then create multiple, personalized suspension set-ups after inputting your weight in riding gear, and track type and condition. Once you’ve selected your skill level – Basic, Advanced, or Pro – as well as the Track Terrain – Sand, Soft, Medium, or Hard – you’ll be shown recommended settings, which can be fine-tuned and saved for use at other circuits.

The new Connectivity Unit Offroad is available worldwide from February, priced at €149. The GPS sensor is available at €89, with the front fender priced at €39. The GASGAS+ app can be downloaded for free and comes with a 4-week trial of the RIDER feature, afterwards starting at €69.99 annually. Prices dependent on ordering country.

Electronic wizardry changes the game for all riders looking to spice things up on the track.

The 2024 GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition is now equipped with even more cutting-edge technology, elevating the riding experience to a whole new level. A groundbreaking Connectivity Unit and GPS Sensor can pair with a smartphone and the GASGAS+ app, allowing riders to easily personalise engine performance and so much more! But that’s not all. As the Factory Editions evolve with each passing year, the 2024 model features plenty of new parts and improved features to make performance and rideability better than ever!
  • GASGAS unveils new MC 450F Factory Edition
  • New MC 450F features Connectivity Unit and GPS
  • Multiple technical updates improve performance and rideability
  • New bikes land in GASGAS dealerships from February 2024

As always, the GASGAS Factory Editions are equipped with plenty of trick new parts from front to back. Here’s a handy breakdown of what they are and just why they’re so awesome…

New frame and motor mounts – Reduced material improves chassis flex, reduces weight and improves handling – especially on corner entry.

New Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing replica graphics – Wrapping further around the bodywork edges thanks to a new, in-mould application process creates a bolder, brighter look. Topped off with a matching full gripper seat cover, featuring additional ribs to keep you planted firmly in place as you get on the gas!

Smaller fuel tank – Exclusive to the Factory Edition, the reduced capacity and size saves weight and allows air to flow more freely through the radiators, leading to improved cooling.

Redesigned front fender – Blends perfectly into the front number plate and houses the new GPS sensor that enables the RIDER feature on the GASGAS+ App.

New frame protection kit – Made from two materials for improved grip.

WP XACT split air front fork – New settings to suit the updated frame and rear linkage.

Updated rear linkage – New, lower-friction seals and a new linkage bolt.

New Dunlop GEOMAX MX34 tyres – Revised compounds and tread patterns offer superior grip on all surfaces.

New rear brake pedal – Improves braking performance in all track conditions.

For 2024, GASGAS is stoked to put engine tuning into the rider’s hands for the very first time. Simply download the new GASGAS+ app, pair the chosen device with the Connectivity Unit Offroad – installed as standard on every Factory Edition bike – then all of the app’s features are accessible with just a few quick taps!

Within the GASGAS+ app there are three main sections: ENGINE, SUSPENSION and RIDER. The ENGINE feature allows you to customise and control power delivery based on your riding style or the track conditions, while the SUSPENSION feature offers recommended settings for different types of circuits. Multiple set-ups for both the engine and suspension can also be saved for future reference. Last but definitely not least, the RIDER feature is where your lap times are recorded along with the ability to analyze everything about how your bike is running.

GASGAS+ App features in a little more detail!

ENGINE – Choose between predefined maps based on the track type or conditions, or use the ADVANCED mode to create a map from scratch. The ENGINE feature gives full control of the Engine Braking, Throttle Response, Traction Control, Launch Control and Quickshifter sensitivity. Favourite maps can then be saved and activated trackside, while changes can be made between sessions or races if rquired.

RIDER – Within this feature of the app, which is powered by LITPro and receives data from the CUO and GPS fitted to the front fender, sessions can be reviewed by downloading the data into the app for detailed analysis. It offers amazing insights into riding performance (lap and section analysis, airtime, corner analysis and Lap99 analysis) and allows access to engine data at the same time, with up to 15 values selectable – engine RPM, gear position, throttle position, map switch mode and many more. Once the session has been downloaded, performance can be analysed, laps can be compared, and riders can compete with each other on a virtual leaderboard.

The RIDER feature is only available as an annual subscription, which comes with a four-week trial period. Pricing then starts at circa £60 (€69.99) in Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Prices are dependent on the ordering country.

SUSPENSION – This option has two main functions; SAG ASSISTANT helps find the correct SAG for each individual bike, while the SUSPENSION SETTING section allows riders to then create multiple personalised suspension set-ups after inputting rider weight (while wearing kit), and track type and condition. Once a skill level has been selected from Basic, Advanced or Pro, and Track Terrain input – Sand, Soft, Medium or Hard – recommended settings will be shown, so they can be fine-tuned and saved for use at other circuits.

GASGAS Spices It Up With 11 All-New Offroad Bikes For 2024

Presenting the biggest and best ever line-up of GASGAS motocross and enduro models.
GASGAS is stoked to reveal an all-new generation of motocross and enduro bikes for 2024! More red, more awesome, and delivering incredible performance, it’s safe to say that things have well and truly been spiced up, with every model equipped with the latest technology. There’s barely a single part on any bike that hasn’t been improved or refined, which just goes to show how new these dirt bikes really are. Oh, and we’ve also expanded our enduro range too!
  • GASGAS turns up the heat with 11-bike-strong offroad line-up for 2024
  • Huge variety of models available means there’s a bike for everyone
  • Discover the motocross models from August 2023
  • Our six-bike enduro range lands in dealers worldwide from September 2023
Motocross | Turning up the heat!

To GASGAS, it doesn’t really matter if you ride motocross for fun or if you race to win. What matters is making sure that all five of our new bikes deliver the very best performance for guaranteed good times in the dirt. For 2024, we’re really turning up the heat in the moto scene. Starting with our little 2-stroke ripper – our beloved MC 125 – through to the MXGP race winning MC 450F 4-stroke, we really do have a bike to suit all types of riders.

GASGAS motocross models are already the best handling dirt bikes out there, but that didn’t stop our engineers from making them perform even better! With each one assembled using new steel frames, new aluminum subframes, and new swingarms, the perfect combination of razor-sharp cornering and straight-line stability is further refined to maximise the fun factor. And to bring our MC 125 and MC 250 2-strokes bang up to date, both bikes fire into life with the simple press of the new electric start button – none of that kickstart nonsense here! Plus, they’re now fuelled by cutting-edge throttle body injection for a crisper response and much-improved on-track performance.

Across the board, all 2024 models are now powered by new, lighter motors, which produce both more torque and high-revving power than ever before. They’re then fitted neatly inside new frames with a slight backwards tilt to lower the front sprocket, centralise the weight, and make the best handling motocross bikes on the planet handle even better!

Technical Highlights Motocross

  • New frame – Engineered to be stable at speed, the new frames retain their best-in-class cornering ability and give improved rider feedback.
  • New aluminum subframe – Strong, reliable, and plays a vital role in the ergonomics and handling of each dirt bike.
  • New die-cast aluminum swingarm – Light, strong, and offering just the right amount of flex.
  • New bodywork – Refined rider triangle gives larger contact areas so riders can better grip the bike for improved control.
  • New hour meter – Helps to make sure all riders stay on top of maintaining their bike.
  • WP XACT front fork with AER technology – Refined, adjustable by hand, and now feature a hydrostop to take the sting out of heavy landings.
  • WP XACT rear shock – Shorter and lighter yet retaining 300mm of travel, the WP XACT shock has a new piston to improve both comfort and performance.
  • New forged triple clamps – Featuring a new steering stem that offers a little more flex for improved comfort.
  • High-performance Braktec hydraulic clutch system – As close as you can get to maintenance-free, ensuring consistency and performance at all times.
  • New Braktec brakes – Brake disks that are unique to GASGAS and new calipers front and rear. It’s never been easier to keep things under control.
  • Neken handlebars – Made from high-strength aluminum and with a bar bend that’s unique to GASGAS, durability and comfort are guaranteed. There’s a bigger bar pad for improved safety too.
  • New footpegs – Bigger is definitely better when it comes to GASGAS footpegs! They help keep your feet where they need to be in all conditions.
  • New TBI injection with premix for 2-strokes – Bringing our 2-strokes bang up to date, Throttle Body Injection makes sure the motors run clean, crisp, and create strong power throughout the rev range.
  • New electronic exhaust control for 2 strokes – Controlling how the exhaust ports open, the new electronic powervalve creates maximum power and offers improved durability.
  • New motors – Centralising mass while also being lighter, not to mention producing more power, the motors deliver even better performance for 2024.
  • New, unified motor position – All 4-stroke models have the motor mounted in the same position to improve the overall handling of each and every bike.
  • Map Select Switch – Our MC 125 is already equipped with one, but by adding a Map Select Switch to any of our four strokes, the riding experience is taken to new levels! With the simple press of the corresponding button, launch control, traction control, a quickshifter, and a choice of two maps can be engaged to customise the performance of each bike for every rider. And by adding it to our MC 250, you’ll also get the choice of two different engine maps.

Full line-up: MC 125, MC 250, MC 250F, MC 350F, MC 450F

Enduro | It’s time to rock ‘n’ roll!

So easy, and so much fun to ride. That’s what makes our new generation of enduro bikes so competitive! Spicing up the riding experience in the woods, on the trails, and through every extreme section, these new bikes are as good as it gets when it comes to enduro performance. New bodywork not only makes these bikes easy on the eye, but once onboard, riders will soon notice the larger, and smoother, contact areas, allowing for tighter grip as you get on the gas across challenging terrain. It’s 2024. It’s time to rock ‘n’ roll!

We’ve also added two new models – an EC 450F and an EC 500F. Both big-bore bikes are more suited to open, flowy trails and feature all the same top-level components as the rest of the range. We’re talking Braktec brakes, WP suspension, and enduro-specific PANKL transmissions. Knowing just how beneficial a rear suspension linkage is, we’ve fitted to every GASGAS enduro bike, to make sure that each one soaks up small chop and hard hits with ease. Make no mistake, the best enduro bikes out there just got even better for 2024!

The outgoing generation of GASGAS enduro bikes was already super agile through the trees and super stable at higher speeds. However, thanks to the new motors across the range being both lighter and more powerful, the handling characteristics are amplified further! This was achieved by our engineers repositioning the motors inside the new frames to centralise weight and balance things out a little better. Sounds like a small change, but will soon become evident on the trails.

Technical Highlights Enduro

  • New frame – Engineered to be stable at speed while remaining incredibly agile through tight and twisty trails, the new frame amplifies the riding experience for everyone.
  • New aluminum subframe – Strong, reliable, and plays a vital role in the ergonomics and handling of each bike.
  • New die-cast aluminum swingarm – Light, strong, and offering just the right amount of flex!
  • New bodywork – Refined rider triangle gives larger contact areas so riders can better grip the bike for improved control.
  • WP XPLOR front fork with open cartridge – Undergoing plenty of technical changes to further improve performance and overall handling, the WP XPLOR forks are a little longer, assembled with new settings, and remain easily adjustable by hand.
  • WP XACT rear shock with rear linkage – Shorter and lighter yet retaining 300mm of travel, the WP XACT shock features a new piston for improved comfort. And to make sure the shock action is always consistent and progressive, all GASGAS enduro bikes are equipped with a linkage.
  • New forged triple clamps – Featuring a new steering stem that offers a little more flex for improved comfort.
  • New Braktec brakes – With brake disks unique to GASGAS and new calipers front and rear, it’s never been easier to keep things under control in the woods.
  • Neken Handlebars – Made from high-strength aluminum and with a bar bend unique to GASGAS, durability and comfort are guaranteed while a bigger bar pad improves safety.
  • New footpegs – Bigger is definitely better when it comes to footpegs, which means the new GASGAS bikes offer better control in all conditions.
  • New Throttle Body Injection with separate oil tank for 2 strokes – Bringing our 2-stroke enduro dirt bikes bang up to date, Throttle Body Injection makes sure the motors run clean, crisp, and create strong power throughout the rev range.
  • New electronic exhaust control 2 strokes – Controlling how the exhaust ports open, the new electronic powervalve improves durability while boosting torque.
  • New motors – Centralising mass while also being lighter, not to mention that they produce more usable torque, the performance from each motor is even better for 2024.
  • New, unified motor position – All 4-stroke models have the motor mounted in the same position to improve the overall handling of each and every bike.
  • Map Select Switch – Take the riding experience of any of our four strokes to the next level with a Map Select Switch! Readily available as a Technical Accessory, with the simple press of the corresponding button, traction control, a quickshifter, and a choice of two maps can be engaged to customise the performance of each enduro bike. And by adding one to any of our 2-strokes, you’ll also get the choice of two different engine maps.

Full line-up: EC 250, EC 300, EC 250F, EC 350F, EC 450F, EC 500F

GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 to hit the hill at Goodwood Festival of Speed

MotoGP™ will rip around one of the largest and most prestigious annual motorsport ‘meets’ from July 13th to 16th with a hefty presence at the ‘Festival of Speed’ near the southern coast of England, and GASGAS have never turned down the chance to get lively with a throttle. For star rider Pol Espargaro the event will mean a ‘reunion’ with the #44 GASGAS RC16.

GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 will join some of their paddock peers to parade up the famous Goodwood hill and meet fans of what is expected to be an attendance well over 200,000 from Thursday to Sunday. Tickets have flown as quickly as the wide 2023 display of cars, bikes and other legendary motorsport icons once did around racetracks across the world.

The 30th running of the Festival of Speed comes only a couple of weeks before MotoGP emerges from a summer break and with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone – another track as historic as they come – during the first weekend of August. To mark the occasion and for the special celebration of Grand Prix, GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 will run the GASGAS RC16s along the Goodwood climb and with Pol Espargaro making his long-awaited return to the saddle on Thursday and Friday and then star rookie, Augusto Fernandez, donning the leathers on Saturday and Sunday.

Bring Your Heat With The All-New GASGAS MOTO Urban Cruiser

One-size-fits-all cruiser for maxing out the fun, unveiled at EUROBIKE 2023.

High energy, vibrant, and pure fun! The GASGAS MOTO is a play bike that will inject excitement and thrills into your daily ride.

  • GASGAS announces MOTO urban cruiser at Eurobike 2023
  • A one-size-fits-all cruiser for maximum fun on daily rides
  • Legend Troy Lee to perform live GASGAS MOTO paint session at the GASGAS booth

Inspired by the iconic California beach cruiser-styled bicycles, GASGAS has taken the much-loved concept and raised the bar. By adding our own touches, the MOTO is bold, daring, beautiful and unique.

With an open mind and guided by decades of two-wheeled manufacturing history, the GASGAS MOTO is the first bike in the urban cruiser segment to develop a contemporary styling with supermoto aesthetics.

Where traditionally urban bikes follow function over form, the GASGAS MOTO proves you can have both.

Ensuring simplicity in design, the durable, and very red, steel frame creates a relaxed riding position that’s ‘one-size fits-all’ thanks to its extra-long seat bench. Supermoto inspired 20” wheels compliment the look and feel of this two-wheeled party bike!

Pedal-assisted, with a powerful rear hub motor and up to 672Wh battery option, it meets all-day riding needs. A special US version featuring a throttle grip will also become available for the North American market with a maximum motor output of 750W.

To get the GASGAS MOTO party started, we’re lifting the covers on this urban cruising game changer at Europe’s largest bicycle show, Eurobike in Frankfurt, Germany. And the legend himself Troy Lee will be on hand to help us do it. During Eurobike, Troy will do a live paint session with the GASGAS MOTO creating a unique, one-of-a-kind cruiser. We’ll also have some MOTO demo bikes to test ride too.

GASGAS MOTO – Highlights

  • One-size-fits-all urban cruiser
  • Supermoto aesthetics
  • Fitting for 160 – 190 cm riders
  • Extra-long and comfy seat
  • Sturdy, robust steel frame
  • Strong hub motor
  • 20” fat tires for massive comfort
  • Display with Bluetooth connection allowing smartphone connectivity

Naturally, the GASGAS booth will be busy with lots to check out. We have the first ever public showing of our ECC prototype eMTB, the bike that helped GASGAS riders Alexandre Fayolle and Alex Marin secure fifth and sixth respectively at the most recent round of the UCI E-Enduro World Cup in Leogang, Austria. With three rounds still to be contested in 2023, the ECC prototype will continue to be put through its paces at the highest level of eMTB competition. Models current and new, including some yet to be released non-e MTBs, will also be on display at the GASGAS Eurobike booth.

So, come and find us at Hall 12.0/A14 and we’ll tell you more. Bring Your Heat!

Additionally, at the GASGAS booth visitors will get a first view of these models:

GASGAS ECA
Fresh full-suspension enduro offering ft. 160mm travel.

GASGAS MXA
Agile fully E-MTB with 140mm travel.

GASGAS TRA
Full-suspension 130mm travel E-MTB with weight-optimized alu frame.

GASGAS TRA

Introducing the playful and vibrant GASGAS character to the street, these high-performance siblings deliver a distinct, upright, and inviting approach to riding. With powerful single-cylinder motors, razor-sharp handling, and the latest rider aids, enjoying city streets and offroad adventures has never been so much fun!

  • GASGAS hits the streets with SM 700 and ES 700!
  • Confident and inviting offroad-inspired centered riding position
  • GET ON THE GAS with playful, big-bore, single-cylinder bikes

MEET THE RED-HOT STREET-LEGAL SUPER SINGLES

Just like with our offroad bikes, the introduction of the GASGAS SM 700 and the GASGAS ES 700 is all about bringing something a little different to the party, bringing bikes that put a smile on people’s faces. With distinct, reliable, high-performance bikes that reflect our Spanish heritage and fun-loving personality, we welcome every kind of rider and encourage them to GET ON THE GAS!

Re-establishing ourselves as a leading force in offroad racing and riding during the last two years, in successfully introducing a complete offroad line-up we quickly went from being the new kids to picking up race wins and championship trophies. But it’s not just the offroad world we’re interested in. Just like we did in the dirt, we’re again looking to re-establish ourselves, and have some serious fun on the street!

GASGAS street bikes benefit from an agile, high-performance technical base. Designed to deliver the very best handling, and constructed at the lowest possible weight, the chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame ensures razor-sharp cornering and straight-line stability. Further enhancing the riding experience of these super singles, a die-cast aluminum swingarm offers just the right amount of flex to transfer the unrestricted power to the ground, while a 13.5 liter fuel tank integrated into the polyamide subframe keeps the center of gravity as low as possible. For total control and stability when drifting into the corners, the latest Bosch ABS systems and a PASC slipper clutch balances the bike perfectly for precise turning.

The beating heart of these bikes is undoubtedly the motors! Producing a peak 74 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and pumping out serious torque numbers, you can ride these versatile bikes your own way. Beneath the fresh red livery, which aligns these street models perfectly with our EC and MC line-up, there’s plenty of hidden magic going on. State-of-the-art electronics always ensure precise throttle response with power on tap, while smooth shifting up and down the six-speed gearbox is assured thanks to the integrated quickshifter.

Complete with the latest EURO 5 compliant exhaust systems, advanced Ride Modes, and assembled with quality components throughout, the GASGAS SM 700 and ES 700 deliver pure riding pleasure, both on and off the road.

SM 700
Bringing single-cylinder fun to any daily commute, no matter where you’re headed the GASGAS SM 700 is a big-bore Supermoto that guarantees riders will always arrive with a smile on their face!

Husqvarna Motorcycles lifts the covers off the highly anticipated Norden 901

Dynamic and versatile travel machine to offer outstanding street and offroad capability for uncompromised exploration.

The Husqvarna Motorcycles Norden 901 finally hits dealer floors. First shown to great acclaim as a concept model at the EICMA Show in 2019, Husqvarna Motorcycles has built true offroad ability into an exceptional adventure travel motorcycle that keeps going when the tarmac roads end.

Inspired by Husqvarna Motorcycles multi-terrain Rally machines, the Norden 901 is built to cover long distances across challenging, diverse landscapes. Fast, fun, nimble and above all capable, this is a motorcycle to make even the longest riding days rewarding, no matter how far the rider chooses to go, on road or off.

The Norden 901 brings a tough yet lightweight approach to the midclass adventure sector. A smooth and torquey 899 cc, 105 hp parallel twin engine powers the Norden 901 while balancer shafts minimise vibration. The engine is housed in a light steel trellis frame, prepared to carry rider, luggage, and passenger to the furthest points of the compass across any terrain, assisted by WP APEX suspension with long travel. Large diameter 21’’ front and 18’’ rear wheels roll easily over obstacles on the trail. For all its exemplary offroad ability, the Norden 901 also offers unrivalled comfort and agility on tarmac.

A rider headed deep into unknown territory needs to know they can rely on their machine in extreme situations. Therefore, the Norden 901 braking system is backed up by switchable Bosch Cornering ABS with Street and Offroad modes. Husqvarna Motorcycles’ lean-angle sensitive Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) is also there to assist, with particular attention having been paid to its levels of offroad assistance.

Making every journey an adventure beyond the horizon, the Norden 901 offers three selectable ride modes as standard (Street, Rain, Offroad) and an optional Explorer mode to deal with every circumstance the rider might meet. An Easy Shift function allows for clutchless changes up and down the six-speed gearbox while a Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC) maintains rear wheel composure.

Technical highlights:

  • Chromium-molybdenum steel trellis frame with engine as stressed member
  • 889 cc parallel-twin engine with 105 hp peak power and 100 Nm of torque
  • Adjustable WP APEX suspension provides exceptional comfort both on the street and offroad
  • Three selectable ride modes (Street, Rain, Offroad) and optional Explorer mode
  • Cutting-edge, switchable cornering ABS with Offroad mode
  • Ride-by-wire throttle
  • Easy Shift function
  • Cornering-sensitive traction control allows for nine levels of adjustable rear wheel slip (in Explorer mode)
  • Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC)
  • Tubeless spoked wheels and Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres for peak performance on the street and offroad
  • Large capacity, 19-litre fuel tank provides an extended range of up to 400 km
  • Optional Connectivity Unit provides turn-by-turn navigation, telephone call reception and music selection functionality from the rider’s smartphone

The Husqvarna Motorcycles Functional Apparel Collection features riding gear produced for the Norden 901 rider, perfectly complementing the outstanding design of the motorcycle, and developed to keep you warm, dry and safe all year round. The Norden 901 has been designed to evolve with your riding requirements, and for added usability the Husqvarna Motorcycles Technical Accessories range offers luggage systems, performance and chassis enhancements and ergonomic solutions to let you customise the Norden 901 to suit your riding.

Husqvarna Motorcycles’ highly awaited 2022 Norden 901 will be available from November 2021 onwards at authorised Husqvarna Motorcycles dealers. Availability may differ from country to country. For all details on pricing and availability, please refer to your national Husqvarna Motorcycles subsidiary or importer.

Federico Valentini – Head of Husqvarna Motorcycles Marketing: “Since 2014, the Husqvarna Motorcycles brand has been constantly evolving. The launch of the Norden 901 sees us move into another market segment – travel. The motorcycle was unveiled to a highly enthusiastic reception at EICMA 2019 and there has been mounting anticipation ahead of its launch. Now it is finally here, and we believe that the Norden 901 will become a class-leading favourite of riders with the ambition to explore further.”
