If you needed proof that the Norton V4 Superbike is more than just hype, here it is – TVS MD Sudarshan Venu himself was spotted testing the upcoming bike in the UK, just months before the official reveal. The camouflaged prototype is loaded with aggressive styling and top-notch hardware and signals a serious comeback for Norton under TVS’s leadership.
This new V4 isn’t just another facelift. It’s the first all-new motorcycle built from scratch by Norton since TVS took over in 2020 and all eyes are on its global debut, set for November 4 at EICMA 2025.
Design and First Impressions
Even under the wrap, the design screams performance. Expect a fully committed riding stance, LED headlights with DRLs and a sharp, angular body that mirrors the best in the superbike segment. It’s clear Norton is going all out – and not just in looks.
Engine and Hardware
While the numbers are still under wraps, insiders suggest a refined version of the 1200cc 72-degree V4 motor will power the bike. The outgoing version made around 185 bhp and 125 Nm so you can expect this to go even further. What makes it even more exciting is TVS’s engineering input – expect smoother delivery, less heat and better overall performance.
On the hardware front, we’re looking at:
- Fully adjustable USD forks
- Rear monoshock
- Dual disc brakes
- 17-inch alloy wheels
It’s everything you’d want from a high-end sport bike.
Tech and Electronics
This isn’t a barebones retro racer. The Norton V4 Superbike is expected to get:
- Lean-sensitive ABS and traction control
- Multiple riding modes
- Quick-shifter and auto-blipper
- Possibly a full TFT dash with Bluetooth
In short, modern electronics for serious riders.
TVS’s Plan for Norton’s Revival
This test ride is more than just a spin – it shows TVS’s deep involvement and commitment to Norton’s rebirth. With over ₹1,000 crore invested, a new UK facility and a global roadmap, TVS is betting big on making Norton a world-class premium brand again. What’s next? 350-450cc and 650cc platforms and even a Norton electric bike codenamed Electra. But for now, all eyes are on Milan this November.
