Norton Motorcycles unveils the Manx and Atlas models for EICMA 2025

Norton Motorcycles has officially revealed the Manx R, a superbike, Manx, a naked motorcycle based on the Manx R, and the two ADVs, Atlas and Atlas GT models, ahead of their India launch, reviving two legendary names with a strong blend of vintage appeal and contemporary engineering excellence.

Norton Manx R and Manx

The Norton Manx range consists of the high-performance Manx R and the road-focused Manx, both powered by a potent 1200cc V4 engine delivering 203bhp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm torque at 9,000rpm. These superbikes feature advanced technology, including a fully adjustable semi-active suspension by Marzocchi, Brembo Hypure brakes with dual 330mm front discs for superior stopping power, and lightweight 17-inch carbon-fibre BST wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V4 SP tyres (120/70 front and 200/55 rear).

The Manx models also boast a single-sided swingarm and carbon-fibre bodywork that enhances the blend of performance and aesthetics. A modern 8-inch color TFT touchscreen serves as the instrument cluster, integrating IMU-based electronic aids such as cornering cruise control, multiple ride modes, traction control, ABS, wheelie and slide control, bi-directional quickshifter, launch control, and hill start support. Made in the UK but with plans for full localization in India in the coming years, the Manx lineup is designed to blend raw power with rider-friendly refinement.

Norton Atlas and Atlas GT

On the other hand, the Norton Atlas and Atlas GT represent the brand’s entry into the adventure segment with a new 585cc parallel-twin engine producing an estimated 65-70bhp. Norton highlights the Atlas’s segment-leading spread of power and torque, aimed at versatile usability. The bikes feature 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cross-spoked wheels, with the GT variant getting alloy wheels to favour touring capability. Atlas comes with an estimated ground clearance of 180mm and weighs between 200-210kg. If Norton manages these figures, the bikes should be practical for both on and off-road riding conditions. Both Atlas bikes feature keyless ignition, an 8-inch TFT touchscreen cluster with connected features, and essential electronic rider aids, including traction control and cruise control. The Atlas models are expected to be fully made in India, supporting local production and cost-efficiency.

Together, these new Norton models signal a strong return to the Indian market, combining classic British motorcycle heritage with cutting-edge technology and localization efforts backed by TVS. We can expect all four motorcycles to launch in India along with Europe and America in 2026 and apart from that Norton has also announced that it will unveil two new scramblers with the Nomad moniker in early 2026.

Norton’s India launch of these models is set to stir excitement among classic motorcycle lovers and premium bike buyers alike. With India’s growing market for heritage and high-performance motorcycles, the Manx and Atlas fill a niche that blends nostalgia with daily usability.
