A French outlet has test ridden Norton's Atlas Apex adventure bike, powered by a 585cc parallel-twin with a 270-degree crank making 70hp and 57.5Nm at 192kg wet weight, paired with a 6-speed quickshifter. Peak torque arrives readily around 4,500rpm for easy use on both city streets and highways, though the reviewer flagged a power dip between 5,000-6,500rpm and an undersized 15.4-litre tank. Pricing starts at €9,250.

A 270-degree crank on a 585cc twin already promises a sound I'd love, just from the spec sheet. Peak torque arriving around 4,500rpm shows it's tuned for daily riding, and that dip between 5,000-6,500 feels more mechanical than electronic. Compared with older bikes, a standard quickshifter at this price is the good part.
