Norton has revealed a one-off Manx R created in collaboration with Peaceful Research, a British design practice working across motorsport and contemporary culture. The motorcycle made its public debut at the 2026 British MotoGP at Silverstone.

The one-off Manx R gets an asymmetrical finish combining metallic pink, deep purple and light grey. Peaceful Research's graphics have been incorporated into the bodywork, while a ‘26’ graphic on the tail marks the year of the project.

The collaboration is limited to the design, with no changes made to the Manx R's mechanical specification. Norton says the motorcycle took 10 days to strip, paint, wrap, lacquer and rebuild.

The Manx R uses a 1,200cc, 72-degree V4 engine producing 206hp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm at 9,000rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and a wet, multi-plate slipper clutch.

The Manx R has already been patented in India, and Norton is expected to launch the motorcycle here in India soon. The V4-powered Manx R and Manx will be assembled at Norton's Solihull facility, with significant component supply from India.
