Norton Manx R Overview
The upcoming Norton Manx R is a litre-class sport bike aimed at buyers seeking an extreme performance machine rather than an everyday commuter. Its 1,200cc four-cylinder engine makes 206 bhp and 130 Nm; its torque figure is higher than those listed for the BMW S1000RR, Honda Fireblade and Kawasaki rivals. Power is close to the BMW’s 206.51 bhp, while the Fireblade leads at 214.56. Three preset riding modes and two customisable track modes offer scope to tailor the bike.
Its dual-channel ABS can help prevent either wheel locking under braking, with cornering ABS adding support when braking while leaned over. At 207 kg, it matches the Ninja ZX-10R but is heavier than the BMW and Honda. The absent pillion seat and under-seat storage are clear compromises for shared or practical use. The Manx R is expected in December 2026; its price has not been announced, so its value against rivals is unknown.
