TVS Reveals Full Specifications Of Norton Atlas And Atlas GT, Priced At 9.6 Lakhs In UK
By Salil Kumar
Published June 11, 2026
Norton Motorcycles has revealed the all-new Atlas and Atlas GT. With prices in the UK starting at £8,250 (around Rs 9.6 lakh), the Norton Atlas and Atlas GT are expected to arrive in India later this year.
However, local production at TVS Motor's Hosur facility is likely to help bring prices down significantly compared to the imported models sold overseas.
Industry estimates currently place the India-spec Atlas range in the Rs 5 lakh to Rs 7 lakh bracket in the premium middleweight adventure motorcycle segment.
Once launched, the Atlas range is expected to compete with motorcycles such as the Kawasaki Versys 650, BMW F 450 GS, KTM 490 ADV Adventure and the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 750.
