This article lists the new TVS-Norton motorcycles, which are scheduled to launch next year in the Indian market
TVS Motor Company will launch its biggest-ever motorcycle next year in the Indian market. The home-grown two-wheeler brand showcased the Apache 450 in concept form at the EICMA 2025. On the other hand, Norton Motorcycles, the TVS-owned British brand, also unveiled four brand spanking new motorcycles at the event in Milan, Italy. The company will launch two bikes out of these four next year in the Indian market. Hence, in this piece, we will talk in detail about the upcoming TVS-Norton bikes in 2026 in India.
1. TVS Apache 450
Previewed by the Tangent RR Concept at the EICMA 2025 in Italy, it is likely to launch during the festive season of Diwali next year in the Indian market. The Tangent RR Concept, based on the BMW F 450 GS platform, will spawn a fully-faired 450cc supersports motorcycle. Boasting of a monocoque subframe, TVS Apache 450 will be the brand’s flagship motorcycle while positioned above the Apache RR 310.
Some of the notable design highlights of the Tangent RR concept model were Side winglets, USD front forks, low-set clip-on handlebars and sculpted fuel tank. We can expect the bike to carry multiple premium features such as Ride modes, Traction control, TFT display and Navigation. At the heart, it will share the 420cc twin-cylinder engine with the F 450 GS with identical power and torque.
2. Norton Manx R
Norton Manx R debuted at the EICMA 2025 as the brand’s flagship motorcycle. It is likely to launch in Q2 2026 as Norton’s first superbike in the Indian market. Adorning the ‘Nortonness’ design language, the Manx R misses out on wings, lines, decals and creases. The notable styling elements onboard include LED lighting with Signature Daytime Running Lights and Welcome Lighting, Under-slung exhaust, Single sided swingarm, Carbon fibre body panels and wheels.
It is packed with premium features such as 8-inch TFT display, Ride modes, Ride-by-wire system, Keyless Entry, Dynamic Brake Lights, Cornering Cruise Control and Switchable Traction Control among others. Underpinned by a cast aluminium monocoque chassis, Norton Manx R is powered by an all-new 1,200 cc liquid-cooled V4 engine which pumps out 203 bhp and 130 Nm, while paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It is a both road-ready and track-ready model.
3. Norton Atlas
The middleweight adventure motorcycle from Atlas will be launched alongside the Manx R in Q2 2026. Unlike the Manx R, it will be locally developed at TVS factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. It has been learnt that the Atlas adventure bike will be initially sold through TVS showrooms until Norton has its own dealership network. Norton Atlas gets typical adventure bike elements in the form of dual-projector LED headlamps with signature DRLs, cornering lights, puddle lamps, rear luggage rack, adjustable hand levers, foot levers and tapered handlebars.
Sitting on the same lightweight steel trellis frame as the BMW F 450 GS, it rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cross-spoke wheels with Eurogrip Trailhound STR tyres. It will share several features with the Manx R, including the 8-inch TFT display, Cornering Cruise Control and Switchable Traction Control. The Atlas is equipped with a 585cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled petrol engine. The power and torque figures are not in public domain yet.
