First Made In India Norton Atlas Rolls Out Of TVS Factory

Norton Motorcycles has officially commenced production of its highly anticipated Atlas range of ADV bikes. The first motorcycle rolled off the assembly line at TVS Motor Company's manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The milestone marks Norton’s return to the middleweight adventure motorcycle segment and signals a new chapter in the British marque’s global expansion strategy. The rollout ceremony was attended by Dr. Sutapa Choudhury, British Deputy High Commissioner for Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala.

Designed and engineered at Norton’s headquarters in Solihull, UK, the Atlas and Atlas GT have been developed for riders across global markets. At the heart of the Norton Atlas is a newly developed 585 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine featuring a 270-degree crankshaft configuration. The new Norton engine delivers 69 bhp at 9,300 rpm and 57.5 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and a bi-directional quickshifter.

The Norton ADV bike features a comprehensive electronics package including a Bosch six-axis IMU, cornering rider aids, configurable ride modes, fully adjustable KYB suspension, cruise control, smartphone connectivity and an 8-inch TFT display. While the Norton Atlas is more rugged and tailored for adventure riding with a 19-inch front wheel, the Atlas GT adopts a road-focused setup with 17-inch alloy wheels on either ends.
