While the company has not confirmed an India launch timeline yet, the website listing suggests the Manx R could make its way to Indian showrooms in the coming months.

Norton Manx R: Design

The Norton Manx R takes inspiration from Norton’s Isle of Man TT race motorcycles from the 1950s and 1960s, but the overall package is completely modern. The motorcycle uses a lightweight aluminium frame along with a single-sided swingarm, giving it a clean and sporty appearance.

Norton has equipped the Manx R with a single-seat layout and an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system in a 4-2-1 setup. It also gets Rotobox carbon-fibre wheels wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP-V4 tyres. The design feels sharp without looking overly aggressive, and there is still enough classic Norton character in the styling to make it stand out from other superbikes.

Norton Manx R: Features

The Manx R comes with premium cycle parts and electronics. Suspension duties are handled by fully adjustable semi-active Marzocchi units, including upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. Braking performance comes from twin 320mm front discs paired with Brembo Hypure radial callipers, while Bosch Cornering ABS EVO manages rider safety.

The motorcycle also features a large 8-inch TFT display that shows riding data, performance information, and system settings. Norton says the First Edition variant will include extra equipment, although full details have not yet been shared.

Norton Manx R: Engine

Powering the Norton Manx R is a 72-degree, 1,200cc liquid-cooled V4 engine producing 203bhp and 130Nm of torque. That translates to around 203bhp, placing it firmly in the litre-class superbike category. All four variants share the same engine tune and performance figures.

Once launched in India, the Manx R is expected to rival motorcycles like the Ducati Panigale V4 S and the BMW M 1000 RR. Expected prices could range between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 50 lakh ex-showroom, depending on the variant.
