Norton V4 India Launch 2025
The Norton V4 refers to a line of high-performance motorcycles from the British manufacturer Norton Motorcycles, which is now owned by TVS Motor Company. These bikes are known for their powerful V4 engines and aggressive styling.
Here’s a breakdown of the key aspects of the Norton V4:
Models
- Norton V4SV: The re-engineered V4SV is the most luxurious British superbike ever created, the only British-built and designed superbike currently in production. It is powered by a 1200cc, liquid-cooled, 72-degree V4 engine, producing 185bhp at 12,500rpm and 125Nm of peak torque at 9,000rpm. It features premium components such as Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, and a host of electronic rider aids including lean-angle sensitive traction control, multiple riding modes, and a quickshifter.
- Norton V4RR: An upcoming racing motorcycle that is expected to offer surefooted handling and pinpoint power delivery. It is anticipated to be priced between Rs. 80-90 Lakhs in India and feature a 1200 cc engine delivering 200 bhp.
- New Norton V4: A new Norton V4 motorcycle was recently spotted testing and is expected to be unveiled later this year, possibly at EICMA. It features aggressive styling and is expected to come with a six-speed gearbox with a bidirectional quick shifter, along with a long list of electronic aids.
