Norton Manx R transformed into a one-off special edition

Norton has revealed a one-off version of the Manx R as part of a new collaboration with lifestyle and motorsport company Peaceful Research. The custom Norton Manx R was showcased at the British MotoGP at Silverstone over the last weekend.

The special edition Norton Manx R gets a striking metallic pink and deep purple paint scheme, which is different from the standard colour options available on the motorcycle. The collaboration aims to showcase Norton’s racing heritage through Peaceful Research’s contemporary design approach.

Mechanically, the one-off motorcycle remains unchanged. The Manx R is powered by a 1,200cc V4 engine producing 206bhp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. It also gets an all-new chassis, electronics and bodywork.

Alongside the motorcycle, Norton and Peaceful Research have also introduced a limited-edition clothing collection comprising a hoodie, T-shirt and cap.

Norton has not confirmed whether the one-off Manx R will be offered for sale. The standard Manx R is priced from £20,250 in the UK, while the range-topping Signature Edition costs £38,750.

The Norton Manx R is expected to go in sale in India along with the Norton Atlas around September. You can read our review of the Atlas here.
