Norton Manx R Wins Red Dot: Best of the Best Award For Manx R Motorcycle Design
- By MT Bureau
- October 21, 2026
TVS Motor Compay-owned British marquee brand Norton Motorcycles has received the Red Dot: Best of the Best distinction at the 2026 Red Dot Award: Design Concept within the cars and motorcycles category.
The award recognises the Manx R model, reflecting the brand's design direction under its current resurgence strategy. The motorcycle features proportions, surface treatments, integrated components and detailing developed by the in-house design and engineering teams alongside Professor Gerry McGovern OBE, Chief Creative Advisor to Norton Motorcycles and Simon Skinner, Head of Design.
The recognition follows a previous award at the 2026 International Design Excellence Awards and accompanies a global retail concept developed in collaboration with Foster + Partners.
Simon Skinner, Head of Design at Norton Motorcycles, said, "Best of the Best is the strongest recognition Red Dot can give, and it belongs to every member of the team which brought the Manx R to life. What makes this win especially powerful is that the jury did not recognise design in the abstract. It recognised a fully resolved motorcycle that customers can now see, touch and ride. With the Manx R, we set out to create a motorcycle with unmistakable presence, where proportion, reductive design and every detail contribute to its desirability. This recognition celebrates the creativity and commitment of our team, and our ambition to bring a distinctive expression of modernity to motorcycling."

- October 19, 2026
European premium motorcycle manufacturer Ducati India has expanded its ‘Ducati Protect’ Periodic Maintenance Contract programme across its complete range of new motorcycles in the Indian market.
The maintenance package is available exclusively for new models and must be activated on the date of sale alongside the vehicle warranty. The contract covers scheduled maintenance requirements, including replacement parts, labour costs and lubricants, protecting owners against future service price increases.
Servicing under the contract is performed by certified technicians across authorised Ducati dealerships using manufacturer parts. The contract remains transferable to subsequent owners if the vehicle is sold. Consumable items are excluded from package coverage under the program terms.
Bipul Chandra, MD, Ducati India, said, "At Ducati, we are committed to delivering an ownership experience that goes far beyond the ride itself. With Ducati Protect now available across our entire new model range, clients can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing their motorcycle is backed by comprehensive maintenance from Ducati-certified technicians using genuine parts. By helping keep the motorcycle in optimal condition throughout its lifecycle, Ducati Protect not only preserves the performance and value of the bike but also enhances the overall riding experience, allowing owners to focus on what matters most - enjoying every ride with confidence."
The expansion follows an initial trial of the program earlier in the year. Detailed package pricing varies by model and is available through Ducati's dealership network across India.
