Noble tuner Brabus has found the motorcycle segment for itself and presented its first motorcycle, the 1300 R Limited Edition. Further models will follow.
Only 2 x 77 units will be offered
The Brabus 1300 R Limited Edition is based on the KTM 1290 Super Duke. Fitted are Brabus forged Monoblock Z wheels, a carbon fiber engine guard and pillion cover, a Brabus twin rear silencer, special carbon air intakes, a headlight mask and a custom seat.
The triple clamp, brake and clutch levers, adjustable footpegs, and the caps for the expansion tank and oil tank were CNC-machined by Brabus.
The two color variants Magma Red and Signature Black are offered. Only 77 of each variant will be produced. This number was deliberately chosen to commemorate Brabus’ founding year.
The engine has apparently remained untouched, at least nothing has changed in the performance data. The Brabus 1300 R is equipped with the semi-active Apex suspension from WP. Five different damping modes are available, plus one mode that independently adapts to the current conditions. The steering damper is also from WP. The dry weight is stated at 194 kg.
