The Manx R is a bold reimagining of performance, luxury, and emotion on two wheels. Built for the road and engineered to deliver thrilling real-world dynamics with uncompromising precision. With explosive class-leading torque, adaptive intelligence, and handcrafted British design, the Manx R offers a connected, responsive, and exhilarating ride. It’s not just a motorcycle—it’s a modern vision of what riding should feel like.
Design
The Manx R delivers modernity through reductive design, elegant proportions and technical sculpture with every detail considered—creating a machine that is emotionally engaging, visually effortless and unmistakably Norton.
This is a machine that celebrates the harmony of integrating both design and engineering. It’s not about excess — it’s about experience. The Manx R is designed to be admired… and more importantly, it’s designed to be ridden.
Dynamics
The Manx R’s 1200cc V4 engine is engineered for real-world performance — delivering smooth acceleration, sharp throttle response, and refined power delivery that’s equally rewarding from wind-on through to full throttle.
Built on a frame inspired by Norton’s road-racing heritage, the Manx R offers road-tuned precision with geometry optimized for stability, agility, and predictability. Cast construction ensures tight tolerances and clean integration, balancing stiffness with controlled flex for responsive handling. Road feel is engineered without excess rigidity – delivering a connected ride that inspires confidence.
Paired with semi-active suspension that adapts in real time to speed, terrain, and riding style, the result is intelligent performance that stays composed during both hard cornering on track or gliding through curves on the road.
Detail
The Manx R seamlessly blends engineering and design. Every exposed element from the frame to the fairing is crafted as a technical sculpture, with clean lines and no visible fasteners for a pure, uninterrupted form.
Carbon fibre components enhance both performance and tactile appeal, while intuitive touchpoints like bars and switches deepen the rider’s connection to the machine.
Technology is embedded with purpose — the signature 8” touchscreen TFT and Advanced Rider Electronics work in harmony to deliver a ride that’s focused, refined, and emotionally engaging.
The Ride That Adapts To You
Co-developed with Marzocchi, the Manx R’s semi-active system takes comfort and control to new levels. With real-time intelligence, sensors measure suspension travel and velocity as you ride, instantly adjusting damping to deliver maximum performance. The system responds dynamically to changing conditions, ensuring optimal control and comfort. The experience is also tailored to you, with a selection of pre-defined riding modes that offer distinct suspension characteristics—from smooth comfort on long journeys to razor-sharp precision in the twisties.
Smart Safety, Total Control
Safety on the Manx R is engineered to be intuitive and confidence-inspiring. Advanced rider aids like cornering ABS, engine braking control, slip control, rear wheel lift and wheelie mitigation work seamlessly to protect without interfering with the ride. At the heart of the braking system is the Brembo Hypure caliper, delivering unmatched stopping performance with precision and control.
Norton's V4 Engine
Unleash a ride that’s as characterful as it is rewarding. Norton’s unique 1200cc 72º V4 engine with a phased-pulse firing order ensures a visceral connection between rider and machine. With unrivalled torque and exceptional drive, the Manx R delivers its power to dominate the competition where it matters most. Producing 206bhp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm at 9000rpm, the Manx R doesn’t just perform on paper—it excels under real-world usage.
Performance You Can Hear
The Manx R features a sleek under-slung exhaust enhancing the modern reductive Design philosophy. A variable valve adjusts tone based on engine speed and pressure, shaping a sound that evolves with your riding style.
One Side Says It All
The Manx R is a statement of intent—the single-sided swingarm not only showcases the rear wheel in stunning clarity but also reflects our commitment to precision engineering and reductive design. It’s a design choice that speaks to connoisseurs of form and function. It’s a fusion of beauty and utility—where engineering meets artistry.
Luxury In Motion
Crafted for riders who demand both performance and precision aesthetics, the Manx R’s carbon fibre body panels embody uncompromising excellence—showcasing a sculptural, luxurious finish that reflects refined lightweight engineering and design fluency. Carbon fibre wheels are engineered for optimal weight reduction without compromising strength, they reduce unsprung mass, allowing for sharper cornering, quicker acceleration, and more responsive braking.
