Norton Atlas


Norton Atlas revealed with two new models,  the most important bike in the firm’s modern history, and the first mass-market affordable Norton for generations



The new Atlas Nomad, which uses a V4-derived 650cc parallel-twin in a steel trellis frame, 250 of each model to be released for the UK market this Saturday Motorcycle Live The Atlas 'nomad' priced at £9,995 and the Atlas 'ranger' priced at £11,995. UK deliveries set to commence in May 2019 with European bikes set to release later in 2019, followed by USA, Australia late 2019.



“I think we’ll sell slightly more of the Ranger version, despite it being more expensive, just because it really does offer genuine off-road ability, as well as being a great everyday road bike,” says Garner.
“The Atlas is designed to be completely fit for purpose,” adds head of design, Simon Skinner. “You really can take both versions down some greenlanes and get them messy, and it’s designed to be robust enough to keep going if you fall off. You can get to all the fuses and relays easily, and if you bend the subframe, you can take it off and get it straightened it because its steel, not aluminium.”
“While the engine is effectively half a V4, we have actually only retained the cylinder head,” says Skinner. “That’s where all the really hard work was for the V4, and the processes and technology that we put in place for that bike all transfers across to the Atlas. It’s a really solid, robust engine.  That means it feels simple to build by comparison, and the engine is making excellent power straight out of the box. We’ve gone for rideability, torque and creamy drive, and 84bhp is plenty for this sort of bike. The power to weight ratio is really good, and it will have switchable ABS – as you need it for this kind of bike – and traction control with two modes: on-road, off-road, and you’ll be able to switch it off, too.”
