Upcoming Norton V4 Superbike Spotted In Full Glory

If you’ve been waiting for Norton to return to the global superbike stage, the D-Day is closing in. New spy shots of their all-new V4 superbike have surfaced online, giving us our clearest look yet at a bike that’s shedding the V4SV’s retro charm for something far sharper, meaner, and very 2025.

Duc…Norton Pani….V4

Compared to last time around, the Norton V4 now gets its full fairing, and even the sub-frame is now covered. This is probably going to be the final design of the bike as it looks almost production ready. The bodywork sweeps clean from tank to tail, with a stubby single seat and the single-sided swingarm showing off red wheels. Classic Norton touches like the circular chromed engine covers remain. That split LED headlight setup gives it an aggressive stare that’s more Ducati Panigale than puppy-eyed V4SV. The brake lights are minimalistic LED strips, and the rear indicators are on the tyre hugger with an uncanny resemblance to the ones on the previous-gen TVS Apache RTR 310.

Will It Be Part Of The 200 Club?

Exact details are still under wraps, but clues abound. Ram-air ducts under the headlights, top-spec Brembo Hypure brakes, and adjustable suspension suggest this V4 isn’t messing around. For comparison, the old V4SV made 187.5PS from 1199cc – respectable, but behind other V4 engined rivals like the Ducati Panigale V4 and Aprilia RSV4. With the updates seen in the spy shots, we wouldn’t be surprised if the new V4 breaks 200PS, putting it firmly in the elite V4 club. Yet, the lack of winglets and the relatively relaxed clip-on positioning hint this might be a road-friendly beast, rather than a track-only missile. Of course, expect it to come with a whole host of electronic aids - much better than the old V4SV. 

TVS In The Rider’s Seat

Interestingly, the last time it was spotted, TVS MD Sudarshan Venu was seen testing the bike himself. It’s clear Norton’s working closely with TVS to ensure this isn’t just a British badge on an old bike – it’s the beginning of TVS’ journey of communicating and learning from Norton, so that it can apply the lessons learnt on Norton’s other bikes. Beyond the V4, expect retro-roadsters and even smaller-displacement machines in India, though the V4 is the star of the show for now.

ZigSays

With the new-gen V4, Norton intends to prove that it  can play with the big leagues again, blending classic touches with modern tech. Whether you’re in Milan for EICMA on November 4, 2025 for its unveiling, or just drooling over photos online, the Norton V4 will surely be a bike to watch out for. As for its India launch, expect it to happen some time later in 2026. It won’t come cheap, though. It’ll mostly be reserved for enthusiasts with deep pockets and a taste for all things niche, possibly commanding around Rs 50 lakh (ex-showroom).
