TVS Norton V4 Spotted Testing Ahead Of It Global Unveil, Know More
Last Updated: The front design, or fascia, looks sharper and more aggressive, paired with all-new lighting and a sleeker fairing. British motorcycle brand Norton has just teased the world with a fresh new take on its V4 superbike—set to be officially unveiled at the EICMA show on 4th November. As per Bikewale, real-world images show TVS Motor Company's top executive riding the prototype, giving enthusiasts a clear glimpse of what's to come. Design The upcoming V4 is the first all-new motorcycle from Norton since TVS acquired the brand. From what we've seen, the bike is practically production-ready, though it still wears a raw, unpainted look. What's catching everyone's attention is the radical change in design—from the sharp front fascia to the new lighting setup and sleek fairing, everything screams aggressive and modern. Performance While official performance specs remain under wraps, it's likely that Norton is packing this machine with top-notch tech and features. The V4 seems to mark the beginning of Norton's renewed focus on high-performance sportsbikes—an area where the brand has historically made its name. Furthermore, TVS and Norton are working on an entire lineup of new bikes. However, the first goal is to strengthen Norton's premium image globally before turning attention to the Indian market. While Indian enthusiasts may be eager to see the new Norton models hit the streets, the company is focusing on global growth first. The Indian launch could take a few more years, as TVS wants to build Norton's international image before entering its home market. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Royal Enfield teases new Himalayan 750 and electric variant: What to expect
Royal Enfield has officially teased two new adventure motorcycles—an upsized version of the Himalayan and its electric counterpart—marking the first formal reveal of the larger-capacity Himalayan, reported HT Auto. Both motorcycles were recently taken to Khardung La in Ladakh, one of the highest motorable passes in the world at 18,380 feet, for high-altitude testing. While the electric version has made previous appearances at EICMA in 2023 and 2024, this marks the debut of the new, larger-capacity Himalayan in a semi-camouflaged prototype form. Despite the bodywork being largely concealed, key design cues and mechanical elements are visible. Reportedly, the motorcycle could retain a familiar Royal Enfield silhouette, complete with a conventional front mudguard and an LED headlamp similar to those on other recent models. A windscreen has been added, presumably for improved rider comfort on long-distance rides. Crash guards around the fuel tank—suitable for mounting luggage—remain part of the design. Mechanically, the test mule features upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. Whether these offer adjustability is currently unknown. The bike could run on spoked wheels, with a 19-inch unit at the front, suggesting a road-biased adventure tourer rather than a hardcore off-roader. Tubeless spoke rims were not seen on the prototype, though such options may be included at launch. Alloy wheels may also be offered as part of the line-up. Royal Enfield appears to have increased the engine displacement from 650 cc to an estimated 750 cc. Output figures have not been confirmed, but the power is expected to be in the region of 55 bhp. Visual differences include a redesigned engine casing, an updated radiator, and an all-new upswept exhaust system—different from the one used on the Interceptor 650. The Himalayan Electric, first introduced as a concept at EICMA, also made its way to Khardung La for testing. The original concept focused heavily on sustainable materials, featuring flax fibre bodywork and a bespoke battery pack. The production-intent version, however, shows several key differences. As per the report, the prototype sports a new aluminium frame configuration—including the main frame, subframe, and swingarm—departing from the brand's typical steel cradle frame. These structural changes are more in line with volume manufacturing while maintaining some of the conceptual design language. The battery housing has also been revised and may now use magnesium alloy materials, possibly inspired by the lightweight construction of the wartime Royal Enfield Flying Flea. Notably, the new version has done away with the beak-style front fender, opting instead for a taller windscreen. The seat is a single-piece unit that flows into a mock fuel tank—likely housing electrical components. A full LED lighting system has been installed, including a projector headlamp and a taillight unit similar to the Himalayan 450's. The frame around the fuel tank area might come with more refined, and the footpeg support structure has also been redesigned. The navigation tower, housing the instrumentation, has undergone changes in this iteration as well. Braking is handled by dual petal discs up front and a single disc at the rear.
