Touratech's 414-5861 Extreme Fork Cartridge Conversion Kit, Standard is made specifically for Husqvarna Norden 901 (2022-current).
Does NOT work with Expedition model Norden 901
The suspension on the Husqvarna Norden 901 is incredible soft and plush from the factory for street riding, but anyone who rides it off road knows that the valving and spring rates are much too soft fo absorb big hits, prevent bottoming out, and carry large loads.
Not just a change in spring rate, or a simple re-valve, this cartridge conversion completely transforms the front-end of your Husqvarna Norden 901 with all new damping characteristics that can't be achieved with the stock forks. If you are wanting to make your Norden 901 into the rally machine it was meant to be, look no further.
The Touratech kit is completely tunable with rebound, compression, and preload adjustments made from the top of the fork caps. No matter where your adventure takes you, you can be assured that our cartridge system is designed to go the distance and tackle any terrain you throw at it.
The Norden 901 Cartridge Kit is available in 2 heights: Standard if you want to keep the stock ride height and travel, or a low version that reduces the seat height by 35mm (1.4 inches). If you choose the low option, you will need to also order our low Extreme Shock. Please note that lowering the bike may require modifications to the side stand or center stand.
Includes:
- 2 Touratech fork cartridges, pre-filled
- Damping adjustment tool
- Fork cap tool
- Fork oil
- User guide & install manual
Features:
- Easy Installation with simple "drop in" set-up. No irreversible machining or rework required. This kit includes everything you need to install the cartridge in the right side fork leg, and a decal to put on your left fork cap so they match. The cartridge comes pre-sprung, filled with oil and charged with nitrogen. Simply install and ride.
- Closed Cartridge separates the air and the oil to prevent oil foaming. This direct damping technology ensures that your fork will have smooth and consistent performance even in punishing environments.
- Separation Bladder delivers lightning fast responsiveness due to minimal friction and eliminates foaming by pressurizing the oil.
- Adjustable compression damping allows absolute control of fork tuning to give you the precise handling characteristics you want in any conditions. With 20 clicks of adjustment you can control how fast the fork compresses. If it feels too firm, you can reduce the compression damping. If the bike is going through the travel too quickly, feels too soft, or is bottoming out, you can increase compression damping.
- Adjustable rebound damping allows you to fine-tune the ride characteristics to meet your preferences. With 20 clicks of adjustment you can control how fast the fork moves back out. If it feels bouncy you can increase compression damping. If the fork is progressively using up travel (packing) you can reduce rebound damping.
- Preload Adjustment is easily done by turning the durable steel nut on both legs to achieve proper ride height and use the suspension to its full potential.
- Easy Access with all adjustment screws located on top of the fork leg. Compression damping, rebound damping and preload can all be adjusted while sitting on the bike. This makes it easy to adjust the suspension and have it perform just the way you want it.
- Hydraulic Bottoming Prevention:- Like a pillow to prevent the fork from bottoming out suddenly, the hydraulic end stop offers secondary compression damping to smooth out the ride.
- High-strength 35mm aluminum cartridge body is lightweight and maximizes heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping.
- Large volume cartridge holds more oil resulting in cooler operating temperatures, consistent damping and longer life.
- Chrome-plated steel piston rod prevents wear and offers maximum strength and durability resulting in smooth action.
- Includes custom spring selected for your weight and riding style.
- Damping set up for fully-loaded Norden right out-of-the-box.
Why is a closed cartridge system better?
1.) Damping oil is separated from the nitrogen which prevents foaming. This results in unmatched consistency in damping. An open system loses damping the harder it is ridden as oils gets mixed with gas.
2.) Closed systems allow the selection of different oil specifications for damping versus lubrication. Heavier oil is better for lubricating, while a lighter weight oil is better for damping. A closed system allows the engineers to select the best oil for each job which dramatically improves performance. Open systems have to make a big compromise with oil selection because they must choose an oil type that is resistant to foaming, can provide lubrication and also work for damping. The result is an oil specification that is not the best for any single job.
3.) A closed cartridge is a self contained "drop-in" solution that offers unmatched performance.
