Story

Norton plans a 450 cc urban motorcycle, its entry into the mid-capacity segment, with sales starting in 2027
The 454 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine makes 45 Nm of peak torque; power figures are not yet disclosed
The official model name, pricing and full chassis specifications will be revealed before the market launch

Norton has announced a new 450 cc urban motorcycle, its first model in the mid-capacity segment. The British brand, owned by Indian two-wheeler maker TVS Motor, said retail sales will begin in 2027. The company has not yet named the bike or given its price.

The motorcycle uses a 454 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivers 45 Nm of peak torque. Norton has not disclosed the engine's power output. The bike will feature a frame made from aluminium and a large connected display, an 8-inch TFT touchscreen with connected functions. The display is large for a motorcycle in this class.

TVS Motor's chairman, Sudarshan Venu, said Norton is known for its character, design and engineering. He said the new model takes that approach into a new category, with TVS supporting the brand's expansion.

Model details still pending

Norton has not shared the bike's kerb weight, suspension travel, brakes or fuel tank capacity. The company said these details will come closer to launch. Equipment may also vary between markets once sales start.

The new bike extends a range first shown at EICMA 2025, which included the Manx, Manx R, Atlas and Atlas GT. Deliveries of the Manx R and Atlas in Europe have already started, and the Manx and Atlas GT are due later.

The details in this announcement come from Norton's own statement, so independent testing has not yet been done. Buyers in India will need to wait for pricing and the Indian launch plans, which Norton has not yet confirmed.
