Seems like there is an update on this news.

The "Norton Combat" trademark was registered recently.

Rumour: TVS working on a Royal Enfield 650 rival-nortoncombattrademark.jpg

The engine is expected to be 500cc, air/oil cooled pumping out 47bhp as per this news article: https://gaadiwaadi.com/norton-combat...ival-in-india/

It will come with fat rubber, cruiser styling (A British cruiser is more of a roadster like the RE350)

It will be a RE650 competitor alright then, hope it ruffles some feathers in the Triumph camp as well with competitive pricing.

#InOtherNews Norton (owned by TVS) also launched a 185bhp motorcycle with a V4 engine in UK just about 2 months back. Not even a murmur on this thread?
