With Brabus series coming to an end and bidding adieu, the German tuner well known for customizing Mercedes-Benz cars has brought alive their latest model, Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition on two wheels from Brabus. The motorcycle, which is based on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo, comes in two colors - Onyx Black and Diamond White - and will only be produced in a total of 50 units worldwide - 25 of each shade. This is the third motorbike built on a KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo that the tuning firm has released.
The motorcycle's appearance is completely different from the styling of the 1290 Super Duke; it has a more slick, edgy look with a muscular-looking tank and a carbon fiber side fairing with wider winglets. Other distinguishing features include other body pieces made of carbon fiber, a heated leather seat, a round LED headlamp, gold-colored rims, a Brabus sport exhaust system, and heated leather seats.
The motorcycle is constructed with trellis-style frames and has WP semi-active suspension on both ends. The motorcycle's suspension settings can be switched between Auto and Manual modes, allowing the user to personally modify the suspension to his or her tastes. Six damping settings are available for the suspension: Rain, Street, Sport, Performance, Track, and Advanced. Brembo Stylema 4-piston discs up front and 2-piston discs at the back are in charge of stopping the vehicle. The motorcycle features a 16-liter petrol tank and a seat height of 845 mm.
The motorcycle's 1301 cc V-twin engine, which produces 140 Nm of peak torque and 178 bhp of peak power, is the same as that found in the 1290 Super Duke R Evo. The motorcycle has a top speed of 270 kmph and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in under 3.2 seconds. Five riding modes are available on the motorcycle: Street, Sport, Rain, Performance, and Track.
The roaring classic bike boasts whatever you can expect from a high-end motorbike. Do give yourself a treat by taking a test drive once, limited numbers might serve best at the end. And do not forget to follow Droom for latest news like these.
