GM Noir DXM Signature TTNOW English Willow Cricket Bat 2026 – Short Handle

Some bats are made to follow the light. The Noir was made to cut through it.

The legendary GM Noir DXM Signature TTNOW English Willow Cricket Bat returns for the 2026 season, bringing together the unmistakable Noir styling, a powerful mid-to-low profile and Gunn & Moore's advanced DXM manufacturing technology.

Designed for dynamic stroke-makers who want serious power without sacrificing balance and pickup, the Noir Signature offers an impressive combination of premium English Willow, modern shaping and trusted GM craftsmanship.

With its bold black 2026 graphics and matching Black GM Fuze Grip, the Noir is built to make an impact from the moment you walk to the crease.

Premium English Willow

The GM Noir DXM Signature is manufactured from carefully selected Premium English Willow, providing an excellent combination of performance, responsiveness and value.

The Signature specification is an attractive option for serious club and competitive cricketers who want a high-quality English Willow cricket bat with the profile and manufacturing technology found throughout GM's premium ranges.

Each blade is carefully shaped using GM's precision manufacturing processes to achieve consistent dimensions, excellent balance and dependable performance.

The Noir Profile – Built to Hit Hard

The Noir is designed for players who approach their batting with intent.

Its powerful mid-to-low swell position concentrates plenty of willow through the middle and lower sections of the blade, providing an excellent hitting zone for players who enjoy getting onto the front foot.

The profile is particularly effective for powerful drives, straight hitting and aggressive boundary scoring.

At the same time, careful shaping through the back of the blade helps maintain the balance required for quick hands and controlled all-round stroke play.

Traditional L555 Blade Length

For 2026, the Noir features GM's traditional L555 blade length, combined with a 295mm handle.

This proven configuration provides a substantial hitting area while retaining excellent manoeuvrability.

The L555 blade works perfectly with the Noir's mid-to-low swell, providing plenty of willow through the primary power zone while maintaining the familiar proportions serious adult cricketers expect from a Short Handle bat.

Mid-to-Low Swell – Front-Foot Power

The defining characteristic of the Noir is its mid-to-low swell position.

By placing the primary power zone slightly lower down the blade, the Noir is particularly well suited to players who enjoy dominating from the front foot.

Whether you're punching through the covers, driving straight down the ground or looking to clear the boundary, the lower concentration of willow provides excellent power through the hitting zone.

Despite this, the profile remains versatile enough for the all-round shot-maker, making the Noir suitable for players who score around the entire ground.

F4.5 Face Profile

The F4.5 face profile complements the Noir's powerful overall construction.

The face works together with the substantial edges, mid-to-low swell and carefully shaped back profile to create an impressive hitting area with the modern feel expected from a GM performance cricket bat.

Full Profile & Powerful Edges

The Noir is designed with an imposing profile and pronounced edges, keeping plenty of willow behind the ball.

The substantial construction helps generate excellent power through impact while giving the bat the commanding appearance that has made the Noir such a recognisable GM profile.

For players who like a bat that feels substantial through the hitting zone but remains manageable in the hands, the Noir provides an excellent balance.

Partially Concaved Back Profile

To complement the substantial edges and powerful swell, the Noir uses a partially concaved back profile.

This carefully engineered shaping helps remove unnecessary weight from selected areas of the blade without compromising the important hitting zones.

The result is an impressive combination of power, balance and pickup, allowing players to generate bat speed while retaining plenty of willow where it matters most.

GM DXM Precision Engineering

The Noir Signature benefits from Gunn & Moore's advanced DXM manufacturing technology.

GM combines sophisticated CAD design with precision machining to carefully control the profile, shape and weight distribution of each blade.

This technology allows GM to produce consistent profiles while maintaining the characteristics that make English Willow bats unique.

For the player, this translates into a bat engineered to provide excellent pickup, balance and performance.

TTNOW – Factory Prepared

The GM Noir DXM Signature TTNOW comes with GM factory preparation designed to reduce the amount of additional preparation required before use.

This makes the bat a convenient option for players who want to get their new English Willow bat ready for nets and match play sooner.

Appropriate care and gradual preparation are still recommended with any new English Willow cricket bat before facing full-intensity bowling.

Black GM Fuze Grip

The Noir is completed with a premium Black GM Fuze Grip.

Designed to provide excellent traction, comfort and control, the Fuze Grip creates a secure connection between the player's hands and the bat.

Its black finish also perfectly complements the Noir's distinctive graphics, completing the sleek and aggressive appearance of the 2026 model.

Made in England

The GM Noir DXM Signature 2026 is proudly manufactured by Gunn & Moore in England.

GM combines generations of traditional English bat-making knowledge with modern precision manufacturing to produce cricket bats with exceptional consistency and playing characteristics.

From willow selection and DXM shaping through to handle fitting and finishing, the Noir Signature benefits from GM's extensive bat-making expertise.
