NORTON MOTORCYCLES ENTERS NEW CATEGORY WITH NEW NORTON 450 CC URBAN DEBUT AT EICM
The 450 urban is Norton’s third new model line, following the introduction of the Manx and Atlas lines at EICMA 2025. It brings Norton’s approach to design, dynamics and detail to a new category and a new generation of riders.
Inspired by the 1927 Norton CS1, the new Norton 450 urban features a distinctive line running from the rear wheel through the frame to the shallow fuel tank. Clean surfaces and minimal visible fixings give the motorcycle a contemporary appearance, while a low, narrow seat makes it approachable for a wide range of riders.
The motorcycle combines a liquid-cooled 454 cc single-cylinder engine with an aluminium frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension, delivering accessible performance and agile handling. An 8-inch TFT touchscreen provides connectivity and rider information.
Alongside the new Norton 450 urban, Norton displayed the production Manx R, Manx, Atlas and Atlas GTmodels at EICMA. Deliveries of the Manx R and Atlas have started in European markets, with the Manx and Atlas GT to follow.
Norton has established a network of more than 50 retailers across 10 markets, including the UK, Italy, France, Germany and Spain. Preparations are also progressing for its introduction into India and the United States.
Sales of the new 450 cc urban motorcycle will begin in 2027, with its official model name to be revealed ahead of launch.
