Our verdict

Norton’s first middleweight adventure bike under TVS ownership: a 69 hp 270° twin, six-axis IMU electronics and an 8-inch TFT, genuinely promising on paper and keenly priced, with independent road tests still to come.

Pros

  • Modern 69 hp 270° twin with up/down quickshifter
  • Six-axis IMU, cornering ABS and an 8-inch TFT
  • Sharp pricing for the spec on offer

Cons

  • Unproven, no independent road tests yet
  • Tall 845 mm seat on the base Atlas
