Norton Manx R Review – Bringing sexy back | Sagar Sheldekar Official



Sarge heads to sunny Spain to ride the much awaited Norton Manx R developed under the new parent company – TVS. Infact the 72 degree V4 engine that pumps out 206hp and class leading 130nm of torque is assembled in India for the world! The Manx R stands out with its gorgeous design that blends futuristic with retro, with all nuts and bolts beautifully hidden behind the carbon fibre bodywork and wheels that adorn this Signature variant. And the design also makes it clear that Norton designed the Manx R as a road bike unlike its high strung track focussed competition. But can it deliver on its promise of providing a distinct and characterful riding experience worthy of its premium price tag? Sarge gives it the beans to find out!

  1. This bike is pure us Indians – cramming maximum value and poshness into one ridiculous package. Let’s build a proper world-class superbike! Wait… who says a superbike can’t be posh? And boom – out comes the Manx R.

    It’s an absolutely awesome piece of machinery. But I hope it doesn’t get labelled too posh. Otherwise it’ll end up as just another weekend showpiece instead of a proper weapon for pure performance riding. And that would be a damn shame.

    Because the truth is, the other superbikes have already built proper loyalty – they’ve become the default ‘my choice’ for serious riders. The performance pie isn’t that big, and the players aren’t exactly spread out. If this thing gets stuck in the image game, it might never get the slice it deserves.

  2. Bike looks like a body builder who cares about the gains, and not cuts, beautiful from the headlights to the end of the tail light. Work of an art. Just beautiful.

  3. I love this bike especially the engine. But my question to Norton is that do people need a V4 for the street 😁? A V2 or an inline 2 are far more suited for the dual purpose.

    The Atlas GT will be a far better street and do everything bike perhaps?

  4. The tvs takeover doesn't make it a TVS, just like the 1390 super Duke is not a bajaj.. the parent company has changed not the build and the standard of the motorcycle, it's proud moment for indians cheering in the comments section but this doesn't mean you're getting a 1000CC apache, just saying

  5. From the looks, this is a clear winner. No wings. More bikes should take this design and move away from those wings and winglets.
    This will cost a bomb – likely will be positioned as a boutique offering.
    Good thing for India – most of the big bikes never come in the 1st batch with bugs and issues. India typically gets the 2nd to 3rd batch by the time most teething issues have been sorted.
    Somewhere, this bike should be parked next to its ancestor – the o.g Nemesis V8

  6. Sounds very growly it just wants to go def needs a straight pipe it'll sound amazing, the color graded shots are amazing love the production quality in all these video, the bike seems very appealing and promising except the 50L ex showroom price tag
