[4K] Epic RAW Sound of the Husqvarna Norden 901 as it Tackles Stelvio Pass!

[@Mrixus]

Thanks for the ride,waiting for a new season now,can't come quick enough!

[@guywerb]

Man, that sound is seriously addictive!

[@danhirtle7825]

While touring the Dolomites 20 years ago (Aprilia Futura) I learned quickly to look back up every switchback for buses coming down. They take up the entire road and either can't or won't stop.

[@alexk.6022]

A very good and useful hint. 👍

[@zenzen9131]

Brings back memories for me :) I've ridden it 3 times now

[@Yoshisworld91]

Brutal Sound!✌️😎

[@erre3174]

Why do you cut every left curve? What if a Bus or Truck is coming down the road ? Or don´t you need your head anymoore? That will hit first the downcoming vehicles........

[@goavegas4874]

You should go up early in the morning,almost no traffic.

Sounds nice 🤩👍

[@SCQT]

Had a chance to hear any other Nordens with other exhausts? Akra still your favorite? Just picked my bike up and having a hard time deciding which one to get. Mostly between Akra and Wings at the moment...

[@huskydrive]

I heard only the Remus and the Akra. But I prefer the Akra. I might change up for fun in spring as my bike is in wintersleep right now..

[@SCQT]

@@huskydrive Really cant go wrong with an Akra Wings was appealing because it sounds good enough in vids, but could also do mid-pipe for same price as Akra. So hard to tell how it really sounds from videos. Shrug

[@SCQT]

@@huskydrive Got the Wings installed, can definitely recommend. I would say it is a very similar sound to the Akra though. Real pleased

[@geordiegeorge9041]

I rode the Stelvio back in the 70s, and it was not in that condition.😍

[@huskydrive]

What was it like back then?

[@cs-electronic]

Seems that the bike does not like corners. You barely come around the turns without using the full road. On the straight pieces the acceleration is good...

[@BruceHoult]

Yeah, weird. I reckon my 1995 BMW R1100RT would have no problems staying on it's own side of the road. I do have 29 years of experience on it :-)

[@sbabbaro1977]

nice sound! does it have the original exhaust?

[@huskydrive]

This is the akrapovic!

[@Killswitch-ON]

Hi mate, beautiful scenery in the alps. Btw, are you running on Pirelli Scorpion STR? If so, how would you rate the grip on tarmac, on both wet and dry surface? Thnx in advance 🙂

[@huskydrive]

Hi mate! Thanks, this ride is one that should be done again with a 360 cam view😎 I read a lot of things about these tires, personally i think the performance on tarmac is perfectly good. On slow corners you can feel them slide a bit if you push the bike. But this challenge is only fun. The grip is actually good especially on dry tarmac.

[@Killswitch-ON]

@@huskydrive Thanks, good to hear from your own experiences 🙏

Audi definitely pulled away . He stayed on you with no problem . I actually would like to see how I would do against a Norden on my Road Glide . I had to turn volume way down

[@CharlyS68]

EPIC?????? It is precisely because of such types that popular motorcycle routes are already being closed, especially in Austria, and driving bans and/or speed restrictions for motorcycles are being discussed in Italy, especially in South Tyrol. (You can only push a Ducati over the Brenner Pass / Tyrol because it's too loud.) A training video for "you shouldn't do it like that." Kind regards from someone who would also like to drive passes next year.

[@huskydrive]

Yes, I was also still quite learning here 😉 but if you pull the clutch, the engine drops really fast indeed!

[@gv4199]

Hello, doesn't the heat coming from the cat bothers you? I put a heat shield but its just still very hot on the left foot when riding over 25 °c, i check alot videos of the norden and there is not alot of people complaining about that heat...only people worried about the oil of shock getting too hot but i'm really annoyed by that heat on my feet and legs! I was thinking that maybe it could be something abnormal only on my norden? let me know. Thank you and ride safe.

[@huskydrive]

i do notice this very well. but its not super disturbing as long as you keep driving. I only go outside the city and on tours. So for me this is fine, when I go slower, I do notice what you mean. At this point, it doesn’t bother me that much yet.

[@cccb2878]

hey！how far do u think there is between wt we hear in the video and wt u hear on the bike？cuz i just feel its really loud

[@huskydrive]

hi! actually it’s not really loud without the DB killer. with the cat still there, it’s just a very deep sound. but. it’s a proper motorcycle sound in stead of the “moped” sound that i didn’t like on the testdrive.

Er holt vor der Kurve zu weit aus und geht viel zu früh auf die Innenlinie. Kurz, er schneidet die Kurven. Das sollte man auf normalen Straßen gar nicht, auf Pässen schon zweimal nicht machen. Und er sollte mit seinem Oberkörper auf seiner Fahrbahnhälfte bleiben.

a horror road for all those who know how to actually ride turns...not once you got cars but also motorbikes ending up on your lane. ...I hate it. but I love to ride this pass aswell.. did it in 2023 after 5 weeks of ACT Pyrenees, portugal and spain ...on my way home to zurich.

[@SD-fi7uv]

Hi ! your bike is really beautifull , and on these roads the ride must have been awesome !! I ordered one and it's difficult to wait ... ;) i can hear that your bike is loud , is it your micro or did you remove the catalyst ? I wish you good rides on his handlebars !!

[@huskydrive]

thank you! happy to hear you made the right choice. the bike is awesome on these mountain passes. how long is the wait? the cat is stock, the only thing that’s adjusted is the DB killer. I removed it. it’s not really loud with the stock cat. just a deeper sound.

[@SD-fi7uv]

​@@huskydrive I've to wait until December , and i allready sold my bike ... Well, your bike sound great like that ! I think I'll do the same setting i like how it sounf ! When I tried the Norden that's the only negative I found. The sound to euro5 standards sucks :( I'm a little curious to see if without the catalyst and with the db killer installed, the sound will remain correct? the problem with the catalyst is also the heat because it has to be really hot to reduce pollution ... I also read somewhere that the exhaust manifold gets too close to the rear shock. This heats up the oil in the shock and it loses efficiency, they advise installing a heat shield.

[@huskydrive]

@@SD-fi7uv thanks! I did not know this actually. definitely something to keep in mind for the future:)

The Audi was not racing at all. If it is a driver with good driving skills, and the car has enough bhp, no way you can keep up on a mountain road. On the straights you can pull away, but in the corners he has the advantage, and then with enough bhp, i am very sure the car is on top first. But with that amount of traffic it is not safe to race.
