Description
Some bats are made to follow the light.
The Noir was made to cut through it.
Back for 2026, the legendary GM Noir returns – re-engineered for players who thrive under pressure and strike hardest when the shadows grow long.
Deadly from ball one, nothing about the Noir whispers. Everything about it hits hard.
Featuring a bold new look and a mid-to-low swell profile built for dynamic stroke-makers, the 2026 Noir delivers explosive power through the hitting zone with the balance to go big – all innings long.
Returning with GM’s traditional L555 blade length, a full profile, and pronounced edges, the Noir is crafted in England from Prime Grade English Willow by our most experienced bat makers.
Finished with a black GM Fuze Grip for maximum feel, control, and intent, even in the heat of battle.
