KATHMANDU: Norton Motorcycles has unveiled a new 450cc single-cylinder motorcycle ahead of its public debut at the EICMA show on November 3, 2026. The new model marks the British brand’s entry into a smaller-capacity motorcycle segment under TVS Motor Company ownership.
The motorcycle was revealed globally on November 2. It features futuristic styling and a modern design. However, Norton has yet to announce its official model name, which will be revealed ahead of its market launch.
The motorcycle features a sharp headlamp, sculpted fuel tank and angular bodywork. It also gets a slim seat, raised rear section, upswept exhaust and alloy wheels. The design is a departure from the traditional styling associated with Norton’s earlier roadsters.
Powering the motorcycle is a liquid-cooled, 454cc single-cylinder engine that produces 45 Nm of torque. Norton has not yet disclosed its maximum power output or gearbox specifications.
The motorcycle is built around an aluminum frame designed to offer agile handling. It also features upside-down front forks and disc brakes at both ends.
One of its key highlights is an 8-inch TFT touchscreen with advanced connectivity features. However, Norton has yet to reveal the complete technical specifications, including weight and performance figures.
The new 450cc motorcycle is part of Norton’s expansion under TVS ownership. The company had previously unveiled the Manx, Manx R, Atlas and Atlas GT at EICMA 2025.
Norton has expanded its retail presence to more than 50 locations across 10 markets. It is also preparing to enter the Indian and US markets.
The new motorcycle is expected to offer a more accessible entry point into the Norton brand. Sales are scheduled to begin in 2027, with further details expected following its EICMA debut.
