    New TVS Norton V4 Spied Testing – Flagship Superbike Debut At EICMA

    New TVS Norton V4 Spied TestingUpon launch, Norton V4 will challenge rivals such as Ducati Panigale V4, BMW M 1000 RR and Aprilia RSV4
    As part of its strategy to target the premium motorcycle segment, TVS Motor will be launching multiple new Norton motorcycles. The first of these will be the new Norton flagship V4, which will be showcased at the 2025 EICMA. India launch is expected by the end of this year. Ahead of that, the all-new Norton V4 has been spied testing in the UK. Let’s check out the details.
    New Norton V4 spotted – Design and key features
    TVS MD Sudarshan Venu himself is riding the test vehicle. As compared to the current Norton flagship, the V4SV, the all-new Norton V4 takes a more modern approach to its design and styling. One can notice a more aggressive front fascia, featuring sharp LED headlamps and integrated DRLs. While this test vehicle is missing the side fairing, expect the bike to get sportier panels and graphics. New colour options are also likely, in line with the bike’s contemporary profile.
    New TVS Norton V4 Spied Testing
    Riding stance is fairly committed, similar to other superbikes such as the Panigale V4. In terms of equipment, the new Norton V4 gets an underbelly exhaust. This ensures a clutter-free look and feel, as compared to the V4SV that has a side exhaust setup. The underbelly exhaust could also improve weight balance and help achieve a more centralized mass.
    Another distinctive feature is a new triangular, multi-layered design for the tail lamp. This feature was also revealed in a recent teaser posted by Norton. The test vehicle can be seen using more modern angular shapes for the frame, as compared to that of the V4SV. Also, the new V4 has the frame in matt black finish, as compared to the shiny metallic finish seen with V4SV. This is another key aspect of the bike’s modern makeover.
    New TVS Norton V4 Spied Testing
    Specs, performance
    Norton V4 can be seen with a range of premium equipment such as the latest Hypure monobloc callipers from Brembo. In addition to offering enhanced braking, the quirky, asymmetrical design of the callipers complements the bike’s sporty profile. Norton V4 could also get semi-active forks that can adjust damping characteristics in real-time using electronic controls.
    New TVS Norton V4 Spied Testing
    Users can expect better control during cornering, more comfortable rides and greater stability while braking. At the rear, Norton V4 could continue with Öhlins fully adjustable shock absorber with hydraulic preload adjustment. The bike will be getting a comprehensive range of rider aids such as multiple riding modes, a six-axis IMU, ride-by-wire tech, cornering ABS and traction control.
    New TVS Norton V4 Spied Testing
    Teasers point to some new exciting stuff as well, which is likely to be revealed at EICMA. While the existing 72-degree liquid-cooled V4, 1200cc will be carried forward, it will now be compliant with Euro 5+ emission norms. This will allow the new Norton V4 to enter European markets beyond the UK.
    [embedded content]
    The engine is likely to have undergone major tweaks for emission compliance and enhanced performance. In its current format, the engine delivers 185 bhp and 125 Nm of peak torque. It will be interesting to see how Norton prices the new V4. The current flagship, the V4SV, is priced at £44,000 (Rs 51.18 lakh). A starting price of around £25,000 to £30,000 could make it more competitive against rivals like the Panigale V4.

    Performance – Road & Track
    2025 Apache RTR 310 is more of an experience upgrade than performance upgrade. That’s because this motorcycle still offers the same performance metrics that it used to offer before. It still offers 35.6 PS and 28.7 Nm in Sport, Track and SuperMoto modes and 27.1 PS and 27.3 Nm in Urban and Rain mode. So, the improved performance that we saw with 2024 Apache RR 310 is not a part of 2025 Apache RTR 310.
    2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
    It would have been more thrilling if TVS had infused the higher performance of updated RR 310. As things stand, 2025 Apache RTR 310 offers a similar performance as it did before. TVS had organised a track session at the CoASTT High Performance Centre in Coimbatore and a long road ride in and around Coimbatore.
    2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review

    On the track, we only used launch control feature once at the start of our lap. It allowed us to launch this motorcycle like a missile without losing traction or the front wheel lifting off. It was a well tuned and implemented feature. Linear and cornering drag torque control worked well too and we didn’t once face any wheel slippage under aggressive downshifts on the race track.
    2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
    The Michelin Road 5 dual compound tyres offered excellent feel and feedback along with optimum traction, making track work breeze. This is also down to the combination of bike’s chassis agility, steering geometry, performance, extensive rider aids, impeccable braking, TVS’ extensive racing expertise and more. All these aspects give a boost in confidence to riders to tackle corners carrying higher speeds, lean more, brake late and throttle early.
    2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
    On the road, 2025 Apache RTR 310 offered excellent low-speed driveability and did not heat up as much in slow-moving traffic. Suspension tuning even at TVS’ prescribed settings, did a great job absorbing bumps and undulations of public roads. Suspension can be dialled up or down as per rider preference as they are fully adjustable for pre-load, rebound and compression with BTO variants.
    2025 Apache RTR 310 First Ride Review
    Conclusion

    New TVS Apache RTX 300 Rendered Based On Spy Shots Before Launch

    New TVS Apache RTX 300 RenderTVS has been cooking a lovely dish behind closed doors. The Indian audience got a good peek at it as it was showcased briefly at the 2025 Auto Expo in Delhi NCR. However, it was taken back to the shadows after that brief showcase. Nevertheless, there are enough spy shots and snags of the Apache RTX 300 to compile renders.

    TVS Apache RTX 300 Rendered
    Rendering artist Pratyush Rout has penned down a realistic render of the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 300 (name not confirmed) based on these spy shots and snagged images. While the final production version to officially launch might look different, these renders provide a fair idea as to what we can expect from TVS’ first ever adventure tourer.
    New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
    Apache RTX 300 is one of the most anticipated motorcycle launches in India. It is the company’s first ADV offering as it settles into India’s adventure tourer genre. Based on spy shots and a brief appearance at the 2025 Auto Show, we have come up with renders to depict what this upcoming motorcycle could look like.
    These renders are executed in a bunch of single-tone and dual-tone colourways, with Khaki Green and Silver being my personal favourite. In the side silhouette, we can see a fairly handsome adventure tourer with a lot of attitude and promising exceptional functionality. Scooped out seat allows for a lower seat height and pillion gets a stepped seat.

    High-set handlebar allows for an up-right riding posture and allows for decent leverage while standing and riding. Large sculpted fuel tank with Apache RTX branding gives dominating presence and the semi fairing protects rider from wind blasts on long rides. Also protecting from wind blasts is a rather tall windscreen.

    Features & Equipment
    Where utility is concerned, TVS Apache RTX 300 render gets a sturdy rear luggage rack and a short tail tidy. Exhaust is slightly up-swept which should provide decent water-wading capability too. These renders ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels wrapped with dual-purpose tyres for on and off road capability.

    Bike is suspended on USD telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock unit mounted on a trellis frame. Braking duty is handled by single petal rotors at both ends with premium callipers. The company will provide dual-channel ABS, that could be switchable for some off-road fun. The suspension is adjustable on this render, which might be the case with production model too.
    New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
    TVS is likely to offer a host of electronic rider aids along with cruise control, cornering ABS, cornering cruise control, traction control, riding modes, wheelie control and many more. The company will offer a fully digital colour instrument cluster with a host of connected features including trip telemetry, music control and navigation data.
    New RT-XD4 Engine!
    TVS Motor, one of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, sells a host of motorcycle genres including budget commuters, premium commuters, street fighters and even supersport offerings. However, the company currently lacks off-roaders and tourers in its portfolio. That’s where the upcoming Apache RTX 300 Adventure tourer comes into action.
    New TVS Apache RTX 300 Render
    This motorcycle will be powered by the company’s new RT-XD4 engine. This new powertrain developed in-house by TVS displaces 299cc and is rated to deliver 35.45 PS of peak power and 28.5 Nm of peak torque. This engine is a single-cylinder unit with a 4V/cyl head and liquid-cooling, which will be mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Even a bi-directional quick-shifter is likely to make it to production. More
