Design sketch reveals Norton’s bold new direction

TVS Motor Company, through its UK-based subsidiary Norton Motorcycles, has unveiled the first design sketch of its upcoming motorcycle generation. The sketch is part of Norton’s Resurgence campaign, which aims to redefine the brand’s identity with a modern design language while preserving its classic British roots.

The sketch was released on October 22, 2025, and showcases a sleek, aggressive silhouette that hints at a flagship superbike. Norton has appointed Professor Gerry McGovern OBE as Chief Creative Advisor to guide the brand’s aesthetic evolution. The new design direction is expected to influence all upcoming models, including the V4 superbike and a mid-capacity adventure bike.

Global ambitions and upcoming launches

TVS Motor has confirmed that Norton will launch four new motorcycles globally by the end of 2025. These models will be introduced in the UK, India, and key European markets, with production taking place at Norton’s new facility in Solihull, UK. The company has invested over £200 million in product development, R&D, and manufacturing infrastructure since acquiring Norton in 2020.

Among the upcoming models is a twin-cylinder adventure bike designed to compete with the Yamaha Tenere 700 and Aprilia Tuareg 660. Norton’s revival strategy focuses on combining high-performance engineering with timeless design to appeal to both legacy enthusiasts and new-age riders.
