Husqvarna Malaysia

Husqvarna Motorcycles has updated the Norden 901 with what the company calls improved performance and safety thanks to multiple technical enhancements for 2024. 

The updated Norden 901 retains the same 889 cc parallel twin engine for 2024. 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 as we recently found out when we explored the Korean island of Jeju on the Norden 901.

Husqvarna Motorcycles’ lean-angle sensitive Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control (MTC) now offers ten 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 Norden 901 2024 are new USB port, the Hazard Warning lights, which can be quickly switched on in the event of an emergency, and the new exhaust system that meets EURO 5+ regulations.

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 tyres, Bosch Cornering ABS, a Power Assist Slipper Clutch (PASC), and multiple ride modes combine to create the ultimate riding experience.

Technical highlights:

  • New grey and yellow graphics create a distinctive appearance
  • Revised Cornering sensitive Traction Control allows for 10 levels of adjustable rear wheel slip with optional Explorer Mode engaged
  • New exhaust system for EURO 5+ compliance
  • New USB port on the side of the dashboard

There’s a rumble in the Malaysian urban jungle saying that the distributorship of the Husqvarna motorcycle brand will be changing hands and the new custodians are planning something special for all of us in 2021. To be honest, it has been a while since we heard anything about the Swedish brand where the latest one was way back in January 2018. (more…)

Rumours about the 2018 Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen has been circulating following the news on the possible launch of the new 401 series.

The new 701 Vitpilen is already available in Europe and it’s quickly gaining traction amongst motorcycle enthusiasts.

With a beautiful design and top of the range specs, the UK market has priced it at £8,999 (RM49,807).

Husqvarna is well on its way to penetrate into the world of road bikes. With the introduction of the 2018 Husqvarna 401 Vitpilen and Svartpilen, we’re left with a couple of questions in mind. These questions are on when will the 401 arrive here in Malaysia and will they bring in the Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen as well? (more…)
