The Commando will be offered in two variants - street and cafe racer, whereas the Dominator will be available as a cafe racer as standard. The Dominator also features a lot of carbon fibre design elements and slightly different styling as compared to the Commando.

Both the Norton Commando and Dominator sports a right mix of retro styling and modern technology. The Norton twins will rival the likes of Triumph Street Twin range and Moto Guzzis. Being a CBU unit the Noroton bikes will be expensive than the Triumphs but affordable than the Moto Guzzis.
