Norton teases upcoming bike ahead of November 4 debut at EICMA 2025

In an era where nostalgia sells and retro motorcycles are enjoying a golden resurgence, iconic heritage brands are making a powerful return to the spotlight. From Royal Enfield's ongoing success to BSA's revival under Classic Legends, the appetite for classic styling on motorcycles with modern underpinnings has never been stronger. Riding this wave, Norton Motorcycles, one of Britain's most storied names in motorcycling history, is now set to enter the Indian market—ushering in what it calls 'a new era.'advertisementNow, Norton, the iconic British brand under the stewardship of TVS Motor Company, is poised to join this retro renaissance as it prepares to enter the Indian market, marking a pivotal chapter in its recently dropped a teaser on its social media platforms, offering a glimpse of a sharply designed taillight with vertically stacked LED elements, hinting at a fresh yet evocative design direction. The caption, 'Norton's resurgence. A new era begins. Be the first to know,' signals the start of an ambitious journey, with the motorcycle set for a global unveil at EICMA 2025 in Milan on November 4, 2025. Interestingly, TVS and Norton are also said to be developing a middleweight category model to take on the likes of Royal Enfield and Triumph in India. This model, if realised, would allow Norton to tap into a broader audience while building its brand presence. However, there is no official confirmation on this front yet.

Among the speculated models is the high-performance Norton V4 range, comprising the V4 SV and V4 CR, powered by a 1200cc V4 engine producing 185bhp and 125Nm. These halo models could benefit from the India–UK Free Trade Agreement, which should make their price more attractive compared to other European acquired Norton in 2020 for Rs 153 crore and has since invested over Rs 1,000 crore into revitalising the British brand. This investment has gone into developing a new R&D facility and setting up a modern manufacturing plant in Solihull, UK, with an annual capacity of 8,000 motorcycles. Norton reportedly plans to launch six new models globally by 2027, several of which are expected to make their way to to Auto Today Magazine- Ends
