integrates with the Norton app
for functions including ride sta-

of the package, with the system
extending to and accessing the
seat and fuel tank.
On the road, the Atlas feels
light and manageable for its size.
The electronics also incorpo

rate drag-torque control, which
is essentially engine
braking and
can be switched on or off via the
dash. There's also hill-hold as-
sist to give you a helping hand
if you're
not confident taking off
on a hill. Got all that?
The Atlas also features full
LED lighting, with cornering
illumination on the Apex. The
higher-spec Apex adds dynamic
and cornering cruise control that
debuted on the Manx R a few
months ago. There are five rid

ing modes—Rain, Urban, Sport,
Tour
and Enduro—with the vari-
ous parameters adjusted to suit
each environment.
One thing to
be aware of is that the Enduro
mode disengages the traction
control and the ABS from the
rear so you can have a bit of fun
in the dirt if you so wish.
