Norton Manx R wins Red Dot Best of the Best design award

The Norton Manx R has been awarded the ‘Best of the Best’ distinction in the Cars and Motorcycles category at the 2026 Red Dot Award: Design Concept. This prestigious international accolade recognizes the motorcycle's distinctive, reductive design philosophy and emotional appeal.

Simon Skinner, Norton’s head of design, accepted the trophy at the Red Dot Design Museum. The win marks a significant milestone for the British motorcycle marque as it undergoes a new chapter under the ownership of TVS Motor Company, which acquired Norton in 2020.

While TVS Motor Company manages its international operations through a hub in Singapore, the Manx R is not currently available for purchase in Singapore. A spokesperson for the brand indicated they are open to appointing a local retailer in the region.
