British marque Norton has unveiled the Atlas and Atlas GT, new models entering the middleweight adventure/sport-touring segment.

The standard Atlas gets long-travel KYB suspension for off-road capability, while the GT is tuned more for paved roads. UK pricing starts at £8,250.

The idea of Norton crashing into the middleweight ADV segment with a 585cc parallel twin gets my heart racing. A 270-degree crank, 69 horsepower, a bidirectional quickshifter as standard, and even separate suspension tuning for off-road versus on-road leanings. It's a bike that brings the old, out-of-reach image of Norton dramatically closer to earth.
