Norton’s sportswoman wants to be desirable. And it is. Produced in a limited series of 200 copies, for a stifling price, the English hypersport maddens the senses under an equivocal name: the V4 SS.
Norton had hours of glory with the Manx and much later the Commando. After many setbacks, the manufacturer now relies on its elitist and nostalgic side, with production focused on the 961 Commandos. However, the brand has not forgotten the taste for competition. As evidenced by his recent and remarkable participations in the Tourist Trophy. The sportswoman who presents herself here comes back to the tradition of sport. As its nickname suggests, it is powered by a V4 … A large V4, cubing 1200 cm3 and outputting 200 horsepower. Its engine capacity will prevent it from competing; it doesn’t matter to him. The Norton will cultivate its exclusive and prestigious side to satisfy lovers of beautiful machines.
This Norton represents the most technologically advanced British sportswoman. She is benefiting from the experience Norton has accumulated through her entry into the Tourist Trophy. Besides its elegant and expressive design, the Norton 1200 V4 also stands out for its components. Its chassis consists of a tubular aluminum frame, an inverted fork and an Ohlins shock absorber, a single-sided swingarm releasing a superb rim like the Ducati 1299 Panigale and MV-Agusta F4, and calipers. Brembo monobloc brake M50.
Let us come back to these elements a little. Carbon is everywhere, for the trim, the fuel tank and the rims. Aircraft grade aluminum (7020) is making a name for itself. For the frame, therefore, requiring some 26 hours of work downstream for high quality polishing. Surprisingly, it weighs 3 kilograms less than the frame of the racing machine. To maintain light weight without sacrificing efficiency, it uses the engine to keep it stiff. The swing arm is a gem in itself: it is machined from a block of 70 kilos to achieve a result of 3.1 kg once its creation is completed..
For the engine, Norton did not keep the Aprilia engine used for the prototype entered in the TT. The English brand has developed its own V4, in partnership with the company Ricardo. Compact, more open, more torquey because of its more generous displacement, this boiler sends its 200 horsepower at 12,500 rpm and its maximum torque of 13.2 mkg at 10,000 rpm. You can even push the cavalry with a racing kit, which develops 10 more horses and lightens the machine by 8 kilos..
All its watts will be, like any modern sports car, under close surveillance. With the appropriate sensors and the IMU inertial unit, the Norton V4 SS is equipped with traction control, an up & down shifter, anti-wheeling, cruise control, braking management engine, Launch Control and data logging system. A level of electronic assistance worthy of the best sports cars in the segment. All controlled by a 7-inch TFT screen.
Norton wanted more than a motorcycle. A mix of sport, sensations, impressions and expression. The brand wants every owner to experience the kind of emotions they experience when faced with an Aston-Martin, a McLaren or a Jaguar. The references speak for themselves. The exclusivity does not end there. Each model is handcrafted in the new factory at Donington Hall. It is clad in noble materials to justify a substantial price.
