The Norton Manx, aside from the upright ergonomics and the different bodywork is very closely related to the Manx R supersport. The chassis and electronics package is the same as is the engine, albeit output figures remain under wraps. The headlight of the Manx is also different to its faired sibling, with a single chamber housing two LED projectors and an LED DRL. Expect more details to trickle in the coming months.

For now, while the Manx and Manx R will be assembled in the UK, some engine components will be manufactured in India. There’s also the very real possibility that both these 1,200cc V4 superbikes will be entirely manufactured in India some years down the line.
