Norton Manx R: Variants explained

Norton Manx R variant breakdown

The Norton Manx R is offered in four variants – Standard, Apex, Signature and First Edition. All four share the same 1,200cc, 72-degree V4 engine, electronics package and braking hardware, with the differences between them centred on suspension adjustment, wheel specification and weight. Here's a breakdown of each variant.

Norton Manx R variant breakdown

Standard

The Manx R is powered by a 1,200cc, 72-degree V4 engine producing 206hp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm at 9,000rpm, and this powertrain is common across the entire range. The electronics package – featuring an 8-inch TFT display, a six-axis IMU, traction control, wheelie control, slide control and multiple riding modes – is also shared, as are the Brembo Hypure brake calipers.

The Standard variant gets a manually adjustable Marzocchi USD fork and rear monoshock, and cast aluminium wheels. Norton claims a wet weight (without fuel) of 210kg for this variant. The base Norton Manx R is priced at £20,250 (approximately Rs 26.03 lakh) in the UK.

Apex

The Apex steps up with electronically adjustable, semi-active Marzocchi suspension. The other key differentiator is the fitment of lighter OZ Racing forged aluminium wheels, which help shave 3kg off the kerb weight to 207kg. The Norton Manx R Apex is priced at £24,750 (approximately Rs 31.80 lakh) in the UK.

Signature

The Signature brings the same electronically adjustable semi-active suspension as the Apex but adds a further step up in wheel specification, swapping the OZ Racing forged units for Rotobox Bullet Pro carbon-fibre wheels. This brings the wet weight down further to 203kg. The Norton Manx R Signature is priced at £38,750 (approximately Rs 49.77 lakh) in the UK.

First Edition

The range-topping First Edition is limited to just 150 units worldwide and shares the same semi-active suspension and Rotobox Bullet Pro carbon-fibre wheels as the Signature. It further distinguishes itself with titanium and billet aluminium components, a numbered top yoke and a special start-up sequence. At 201kg, it is the lightest variant in the lineup. Pricing for the First Edition has not yet been disclosed.

Norton has patented the Manx R's design in India, and a launch here is expected in the coming months, though which variants will be offered locally has not yet been confirmed.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
