It seems that Norton Motorcycles is now prepared to continue its sales activities in the Indian market once again. The iconic brand got a rebirth from the Indian TVS Motor Company in the year 2020, and the cost involved in the acquisition was about £16 million, which equals Rs 153 crore in cash deal terms. Since the revival of the brand, the Indian-based TVS has become the one who decides in all the policy matters of Norton. After its resurrection, Norton introduced four new models at the EICMA 2025 show, and these too are headed to make their way to India.
Norton Manx R
This model will also serve as the debut motorcycle for the brand in India. As the design patent for the superbike has been filed in India, it is expected to hit the markets in the coming couple of months. It goes without saying that the motorcycle will be made available through the CBU method. The technical specifications of Norton Manx R were recently announced in the UK along with its price range.

Some of the key features of the Norton Manx R include traction control, wheelie control, slide control, ride modes, and 8-inch TFT display. There are four variants of Norton Manx R available in the market.
Norton Atlas
Unlike the Manx R, the Atlas model would have been designed indigenously within our nation and manufactured in the TVS plant in Tamil Nadu. The Atlas is estimated to launch close to the Diwali festival season in October 2026. This model is already seen several times riding as a test mule in our nation.
