KTM Brabus 1300 R 23 Limited Edition 2023: Luxury Power Only 290 Units in the World
Показать описание
Last year German car-tuning legend Brabus officially revealed the first motorcycle wearing its badge in the form of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo derived Brabus 1300 R. It was a strictly limited-edition machine with only 154 examples made (77 in red, 77 in black) and a price tag that would secure two of the Super Dukes it was based on.
This time around, the 1300 R “Edition 23″ will be limited to 290 examples, with 145 in Superblack and 145 in Stealth Gray, bringing the total number of 1300 Rs on the planet up from 154 to 444.
Like its predecessor, the 1300 R Edition 23 is based on the bones of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo, sharing the Austrian bike’s 180-hp 1,301cc V-twin engine, its single-sided swingarm, its steel tube frame, and its electronically adjustable WP Apex suspension. If you only want the riding experience and aren’t concerned with appearance or exclusivity, the 1290 Super Duke R Evo will give virtually everything that the Brabus offers but for half the price.
But the same could be said for many limited-edition models, and last year’s 154 Brabus 1300 Rs were snapped up in under two minutes once the online order book opened. No wonder, then, that a second production run and a substantially larger one has been greenlighted for 2023.
Carryover parts on the Edition 23 version of the Brabus 1300 R include the Monoblock Z wheels, styled to match the design used on many Brabus cars, the carbon fiber bodywork, and the Brabus exhaust, but there are tweaks to separate the new model from its predecessor. The cowl above the Husqvarna-derived headlight is new, for instance, gaining a couple of longitudinal ribs that weren’t present on last year’s bike, while there’s more visible carbon on the headlight bracket below. The air intakes on either side are revised to show more carbon fiber, and the pillion seat cowl is taller than before.
Look more closely and you might spot the redesigned mirrors dangling from the bar ends, and the new quilted pattern on the seat. The wheels are finished in pure black, missing the bright highlights of last year’s version.
The equipment includes a tiltable TFT dash, heated grips, CNC-machined, adjustable-position Gilles foot pegs and keyless start, and the CNC-machined triple clamp is unique to the Brabus model while retaining the KTM Super Duke R’s steering geometry. There’s more CNC work on the brake and clutch levers, which are both adjustable, and on the brake and clutch reservoirs and caps.
Like the Super Duke R Evo, the suspension is WP Apex with KTM’s Suspension Pro electronic adjustment, allowing six different damping modes including Comfort, Street, Sport, Track, Advanced, and Auto, and 10 steps of rear preload adjustment to be selected from the dash. The modes are largely self-explanatory, with Comfort the softest and Track the firmest, while Advanced allows you to choose your own level of damping front and rear from eight steps, and auto does the work for you by detecting your riding style and adjusting the suspension to match.
Performance is identical to the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo and the Brabus actually weighs a fraction more than the Super Duke at 428 pounds despite all that carbon fiber. The more visible changes are the colors, though, with Superblack replacing Signature Black and Stealth Gray instead of Magma Red as the two available options. European pricing is set at 42,500 British pounds (equivalent to $45,700) in most countries. The original Brabus 1300 R wasn’t offered in the US, and at the moment it appears the same will apply to the Edition 23 version.
