Milan, Italy, November 7, 2025 — Norton Motorcycles has officially unveiled the Manx R, the first of six all-new models representing a bold resurgence for the legendary British marque. The launch marks Norton’s confident step into a new era of modern superbikes, blending heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship.
At the heart of the Manx R lies an all-new 1,200cc 72-degree V4 engine, delivering 206 hp and 130 Nm of torque for accessible yet exhilarating performance. Engineered for real-world usability, it prioritizes mid-range torque, ensuring instant response between 5,000 and 10,000 rpm — exactly where riders live their daily rides.
The Manx R’s semi-active Marzocchi suspension, Brembo Hypure brakes, and carbon-fibre frame and wheels represent the pinnacle of modern performance engineering. Designed to deliver precision handling and intuitive rider feedback, the bike ensures total connection between man and machine.
Visually, the Manx R embodies Norton’s new design philosophy — modern, integrated, dramatic, and connected. Inspired by minimalism and precision craftsmanship, its sculpted form and exposed components reflect a “less-is-more” ethos, transforming engineering into art.
Inside, technology meets intuition with an 8-inch TFT touchscreen, GoPro integration, Bluetooth connectivity, launch control, and cornering cruise control — setting new standards for connected superbikes.
Speaking on the launch, Richard Arnold, Executive Director of Norton Motorcycles, said:
“The Manx R has a visceral ‘must-ride’ appeal to those who crave adrenaline with refinement — riders who are connoisseurs of craftsmanship and exclusivity.”
Professor Gerry McGovern, Chief Creative Advisor, added:
“The Manx R embodies emotion, proportion, and drama — a perfect blend of design and engineering that elevates the rider experience.”
Under TVS Motor Company’s leadership, Norton continues to build its motorcycles in Solihull, West Midlands, combining British heritage with global innovation. The Manx R not only redefines the superbike but also reaffirms Norton’s legacy of excellence that began in 1898.
