Britain’s iconic bike manufacturer Norton Motorcycles has again spotted its new V4SV superbike during testing, and this time many major changes have been seen in its design and features.
A fresh video of Norton V4SV has surfaced, in which its front looks completely new and advanced. Sharp twin LED headlamps and new ducts on the sides are giving it an aggressive look. The mirrors have been set closer to the visor for improved aero.

The rear section is now more sleek and smooth, in which the brand’s new triangle shape multi-layered taillamp has been used. The test bike did not have side panels this time, which suggests that there may be more changes in the design. Instead of a dedicated silencer, the company can provide an underbelly exhaust, so that the look of the bike looks minimal and clean.
Engine and Specifications
Talking about the engine, it will get the same 1200cc, 72-degree liquid-cooled V4 engine that drives the current model, but expect major updates in it – like the latest emission norms and better performance. The current engine gives 185 bhp power (12,500 rpm) and 125 Nm torque (9,000 rpm).
The chassis of the new Norton V4SV has been completely redesigned. It will get Ohlins’ fully adjustable suspension setup (upside-down front forks, rear monoshock) and Brembo’s top-grade Hypure monoblock braking system. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V4 tires have been installed on 17-inch alloy wheels, which will give tremendous riding grip.
Launch Timeline and Company Updates in India
Norton Motorcycles is all set to enter India in the year 2025. The company is focused on entering with the V4SV model, as recently confirmed by TVS Motor Company MD, Sudharshan Venu. It is worth noting that TVS bought the Norton brand in April 2020 for around ₹ 153 crore.
