Overview
- The Manx R’s Indian patent surfaced online in recent days, and outlets say it points to a near-term market introduction.
- The flagship uses a 72-degree, 1,200cc liquid-cooled V4 that makes 206 hp at 11,500 rpm and 130 Nm at 9,000 rpm with cylinder deactivation at idle.
- The chassis features a cast aluminium monocoque, a single-sided swingarm, Brembo Hypure calipers with twin 330 mm front discs and a 245 mm rear disc, and semi-active suspension with Ohlins hardware managed by a Marzocchi system.
- Equipment includes a single-seat layout, extensive carbon-fibre bodywork, an 8-inch TFT touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, cornering ABS, rear-wheel lift mitigation, and wheelie control.
- Reports tie the filing to TVS’s 2020 takeover and heavy funding of Norton and note plans to build the bike at TVS’s Hosur plant, while the model itself first appeared as Norton’s flagship at EICMA 2025.
