VS-Owned Norton V4 Spotted Ahead of Global Launch
TVS Norton V4
The British motorcycle brand Norton, now owned by TVS Motor Company, has given a sneak peek into its latest sportsbike—the Norton V4. This marks a bold return for Norton into the high-performance motorcycle scene.
New Design With Modern Appeal
Photos shared online show a sharp and aggressive look. The front fascia has a brand-new design, complete with sleeker fairing and all-new lighting. The bike still wears an unpainted, raw appearance, but it looks almost production-ready.
This will be Norton’s first all-new bike after the TVS acquisition, and it represents a new direction in terms of design and innovation.
TVS Leadership Involvement
-
Hands-on testing: TVS’s Sudarshan Venu personally test rode the prototype and worked closely with Norton CTO to refine the package.
-
This signals the V4 is more than a halo model—it’s a pivotal piece in TVS’s plan to rebuild Norton’s reputation globally.
