Brabus: Tuning cure now also for two wheels 🎥
REFINEMENT Following cars in various segments together with Mercedes, tuner Brabus is now also entering into a partnership with motorcycle manufacturer KTM. First up is the Brabus 1300 R, a 1290 Super Duke R Evo.
The 194-kilogram Brabus 1300 R accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.
KTM and Brabus are thus combining their strengths, their design language and their technical development and manufacturing know-how. The first vehicle is a luxurious naked bike, the Brabus 1300 R, a machine for enthusiasts.
It maintains its signature black-and-bold identity with a range of exclusive components and design features also found on Brabus cars.
Custom made heated bench seat
Lightweight 9-spoke forged Brabus Monoblock Z wheels, custom carbon body elements, a distinctive headlight and a custom-built heated seat combine in the new naked bike based on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo.
With 180 hp at 9500 rpm and 140 Nm at 8000 rpm from the 1301 cc V-twin engine, nothing is left to be desired.
Maximum speed of 270 km/h
As the benchmark of V-twin evolution, this engine not only ensures outstanding performance, but is also an integral part of the vehicle's stability. The concentrated power of the Brabus engine is also unleashed by a special twin-tube exhaust system that underscores its unmistakable character as well as its powerful sound.
Weighing 194 kilograms, the motorcycle accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 270 km/h.
Sold out in two minutes!
The 1300 R is limited to 77 units per color variant. It could be pre-ordered via the KTM pre-order portal exactly 77 hours after the embargo, on February 14 from 3 pm.
At 49,500 euros, it does cost more than twice as much as the original machine. But customers don't seem to be impressed by the price: It took exactly one minute and 55 seconds for all 154 ultra-exclusive Brabus motorcycles to be reserved by end customers on KTM's pre-order platform on the Internet.
