Norton Relaunches With Manx R V4 Superbike as First of New Range

The TVS-backed brand outlines a global comeback built on a clean-sheet V4 alongside India-focused production.

Where the V4SV had a more fluid, curvaceous design, the Manx R is a modern, sharper-looking thing.
It produces 206hp and 130Nm
The chassis and electronics package is the same as is the engine
The Norton Manx is very closely related to the Manx R super sport

Overview

  • The Manx R debuts a new 72‑degree, 1,200cc V4 producing 206 hp and 130 Nm, with a quoted curb weight of about 204 kg.
  • Rider tech includes an 8‑inch touchscreen TFT, five modes with IMU‑based traction and ABS, a bidirectional quickshifter, auto rev‑matching, keyless entry, and GoPro/app connectivity.
  • Norton says sales and service will run through roughly 200 dealers across Europe, Asia, and North America.
  • Alongside the Manx R, Norton showed a Manx supernaked and the Atlas/Atlas GT on a new 585cc parallel‑twin rated near 70 hp, with the Atlas family slated for full production in India.
  • Manx models will be assembled in the UK with some engine components from India, while pricing and exact availability are still unannounced as media guide expectations toward showroom arrivals in the first half of 2026, including an India launch next year.
