Norton Manx R
The new Manx R is Norton’s flagship bike that will replace the earlier V4SV model. This bike has come with a completely new design and technology. Its 1,200cc liquid-cooled V4 engine gives 206hp power at 11,500rpm and 130Nm torque at 9,000rpm. It has given cylinder deactivation technology, which closes the rear cylinder at the stop, saving fuel.
Design and Features
While the rest of the superbikes feature large aerodynamic wings, Norton has kept it clean and stylish. Its carbon-fibre bodywork, underbelly exhaust and sharp lines give it a premium feel.
The same bike’s suspension setup gives the Ohlins semi-active system, which includes NIX 30 fork and TTX GP monoshock. Brembo Hypure calipers and 330mm discs are provided for braking, while tires belong to the Pirelli Supercorsa V4 SP.
