Expressions of interest are being taken for the 2021 Norton Atlas Nomad 650 and Atlas Ranger 650 on Norton Motorcycles website. Based on a Norton developed 650 cc engine, the Norton Atlas is a middleweight scrambler design, designed to perform both on- and off-road.
The 650 cc parallel twin is liquid-cooled
with a 270-degree firing order and power is rated at 84 hp with 64 Nm of
torque. Reports are claiming the small Norton twin has an 11,000 rpm redline
and a 180 kg dry weight.
Both middleweights are differently styled
with the Atlas Nomad having amore road-oriented fit out and the Atlas Ranger
showing off-road sensibilities with taller suspension. Both Nomad models
feature the same frame and engine and spoked wheels are used for that retro
look.
