Customized Semi-active Suspension
The Manx R marks Norton’s return to the high-end supersport motorcycle space. This partnership showcases the excellence Marzocchi suspension brings to the track and the street.
This beautiful steed is equipped with a complete suite of semi-active suspension, including the control electronics. Marzocchi developed an exclusive electronic system designed to shape the vehicle’s dynamic behavior in harmony with the distinctive character of each riding mode. This results in a bike that responds to the rider and the road with impeccable performance.
Multiple tests were performed on closed tracks and on public roads to find optimal settings for every conceivable condition. The electronic controller allows the possibility for peak performance on track and a pivotal level of comfort on public roads. No compromise. No half measures.
“Our advanced suspension set-up reads the road and riding style in real time. It’s been developed to feel incredibly natural and intuitive on the road, as if the Manx R is built around the rider. This semi-active technology doesn’t just enhance performance - it transforms the entire riding experience, making every journey smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.”Brian Gillen, Chief Technical Officer, Norton Motorcycles
