  • SOLIHULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Norton Motorcycles has marked the one-year anniversary of its Resurgence at EICMA 2026. A record number of over 600,000 visitors attended the 83rd edition of the show, the biggest audience since its inception 112 years ago. Amongst 765 exhibitors spread across 300,000 square metres of halls, Norton gained significant attention for the world premier of the new Norton 450 urban.

    The 450 urban is Norton's third new model line, following the introduction of the Manx and Atlas lines at EICMA 2025. It brings Norton's approach to design, dynamics and detail to a new category and a new generation of riders.

    Inspired by the 1927 Norton CS1, the new Norton 450 urban features a distinctive line running from the rear wheel through the frame to the shallow fuel tank. Clean surfaces and minimal visible fixings give the motorcycle a contemporary appearance, while a low, narrow seat makes it approachable for a wide range of riders.

    The motorcycle combines a liquid-cooled 454 cc single-cylinder engine with an aluminium frame and fully adjustable KYB suspension, delivering accessible performance and agile handling. An 8-inch TFT touchscreen provides connectivity and rider information.

    Alongside the new Norton 450 urban, Norton displayed the production Manx R, Manx, Atlas and Atlas GTmodels at EICMA. Deliveries of the Manx R and Atlas have started in European markets, with the Manx and Atlas GT to follow.

    Norton has established a network of more than 50 retailers across 10 markets, including the UK, Italy, France, Germany and Spain. Preparations are also progressing for its introduction into India and the United States.

    Sales of the new 450 cc urban motorcycle will begin in 2027, with its official model name to be revealed ahead of launch.

MILAN, MUNICH and SHANGHAI, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 3, 2026 EICMA (International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition), one of the most influential annual events in the global two-wheel industry, officially opened in Milan, Italy. neueHCT showcased its HCT Orbis Advanced Rider Assistance System, presenting the latest innovations by a Chinese intelligent driving company in the field of intelligent two-wheel mobility to global audiences.

neueHCT specializes in providing comprehensive ADAS and intelligent driving solutions for global OEMs, covering fields such as passenger vehicles, two-wheeled mobility, and L4 autonomous logistics vehicles. Through technical and functional demonstrations, neueHCT showcased HCT Orbis's strengths in ACC, environmental perception, risk warning, and active safety, attracting numerous two-wheeler OEMs, media representatives, industry experts, and visitors.

On the opening day, Stone Li, CEO of neueHCT, gave an exclusive interview at the booth to HD Motori, a renowned Italian technology and automotive media outlet. He shared in-depth insights into HCT Orbis's technical advantages, local adaptation, and global trends in intelligent two-wheel mobility. "When you ride a bike, you are exposed and far more vulnerable than a driver inside a vehicle," said Stone Li. "That is why the technology we develop is aimed at preventing the kinds of traffic accidents that cause the greatest harm to these road users."

To date, neueHCT has served more than 16 OEM customers worldwide including Chery, Volkswagen and Dongfeng Nissan, and won projects covering over 70 vehicle models, with overseas programs accounting for more than 50% of the total. The company has accumulated millions of kilometers of global real-road and over 10 billion kilometers of simulation testing worldwide.

Europe is a key market for global two-wheel industry and riding culture, and a strategically important region in neueHCT's global strategy. neueHCT's passenger vehicles have completed validation in multiple European cities, including Memmingen, Munich, Frankfurt, and Paris, and the experience can support the development and localization of its two-wheeler solutions. The company is also engaged with European two-wheeler OEMs, and its products meet the requirements of E-NCAP and EU GSR II regulations and certifications. Moreover, neueHCT has already established an R&D center in Germany to support product deployment in global markets.

Looking ahead, neueHCT will continue to deepen collaboration with European and global OEMs and industry partners, efficiently delivering intelligent riding assistance solutions that comply with regional regulatory standards, and driving two-wheel mobility toward a safer and smarter future.
