The A2 class has been modernized and now delivers MUCH more driving pleasure than people think

Be curious, challenge established thoughts, think outside the box, have fun and save a lot of money.

The A2 class is perhaps the biggest hotbed of the motorcycle industry’s technological development these days. This class may not be the most technologically advanced, but a lot has happened in recent years on the power side and an A2 is by no means what it used to be and 35 kW and 47.6 HP by no means define equal power outputs. The handling of the new and eventually completely revised class has become much better, comfort has improved, the bikes have become significantly lighter, damping and brakes have improved, throttle response and power output have also improved significantly. Due to the Norwegian tax policy, bikes built for this class are also very reasonably priced. Bikes that have a larger volume and are included in the power output do not come out so well in terms of price, so if the acquisition cost is important, it is probably most affordable to go for bikes that are built for the A2 segment. .

The A2 class is a very important class for young drivers who will gather knowledge, experience and wisdom through mass training.
For many reasons, it is a super important class that currently delivers so much more and better than it did in the beginning.
35 kW and 47.6 HP can actually be so many different things and be experienced in so many different ways, depending on weight, design, mass balance and technological maturity.
And yes, A2 bikes are very different and there are big differences, so big in fact that if you’re considering a bike in this segment, you should take the time to find out what you actually need, like and not least need and not least want.
You’ll find A2 bikes in the adventure segment, the naked segment, the classic segment and the cruiser segment, cross and enduro, so it should definitely be possible to find something you like.

The Straand event focuses on A2

This year, we’re focusing on the A2 segmenet for several reasons.
These models cover many needs today, whether it’s related to pending, utility, therapy and play, technical training or touring.
The modernized class delivers very well for all of this and unless you are dependent on taking a moving truck with you on a trip, there are a lot of advantages to riding A2 bikes that today are very lively and very gas-rich.
In terms of handling, the fun comes earlier and at lower speeds compared to the larger and heavier machines of 1000 cubic meters or more.
So you may have to drive faster with the big machines to have as much fun as you can have with a lighter A2 model.
Yes, you may have to sacrifice acceleration and seconds when overtaking, but you get so much more in return with lower weight and a significantly extended range of applications.
We don’t have all the A2 models at Straand this weekend, but we have many and we have a lot of knowledge available, represented by the dealers who know these products very well.

Some of the attendees are pictured below, so take the trip to pique your own curiosity and learning.
