Back in Black. KTM and Brabus continue their collaboration with the launch of a brand-new luxury naked bike – the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23

The first-ever #brabus 1-Second-Wow effect on two wheels is going dark with the world premiere of the next chapter in the collaboration between leading European motorcycle manufacturer KTM and world-renowned German luxury mobility brand #brabus.

Following the luxury mobility brand's initial entry into the world of exclusive modern motorcycling, this highly limited special edition is the follow-up to the exclusive #brabus 1300 R released in 2022. A direct evolution of its predecessor, characterized by the best of both brands, new signature features and an entirely unique identity of its own. Production will be limited to 290 units, available in selected markets, opening the door to an elite range of #brabus Night Riders. Bold. Luxurious. Badass. The #brabus1300redition23

The #brabus1300redition23 is luxurious design, #brabus typical attention to detail and ultra-limited exclusivity. Conceptualized to make a statement and merge pure, luxury infused energy with undaunted Naked bike precision, the new Edition 23 represents the very best of both brands in its aggressively elegant looks, functionality and power.

Returning and enhanced highlight ingredients of the #brabus design DNA including two legacy paint schemes, forged #brabus Monoblock Z wheels, high-end carbon body elements and a stylish bespoke seat, treated with expert attention to detail by the #brabus interior specialists in Bottrop, Germany, define the motorbike's exceedingly unique and sporty character while ensuring an instant 1-Second-Wow factor.

The platform of the #brabus1300redition23 remains the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO. Built for the best in two-wheel performance, this model offers a cutting-edge riding experience, uncompromising ergonomics and the Edition 23's beating heart: an exceptional LC8 V-Twin engine producing 132 kW / 180 hp at 9,500 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm out of its 1,301 cubic centimeters. The #brabus dual-pipe slip-on exhaust underscores its unmistakable character as well as its massive sound.

The #brabus1300redition23 maintains and expands its 'Black and Bold' identity with a collection of new features. A distinctive headlight mask, complete with exposed-carbon side fairing, power domes as well as #brabus Signature Stripes in the air scoop accentuate the Edition 23's unique face. Redesigned side panels and air-ducts serve as a further homage to decades of experience in processing prepreg carbon fiber.

In keeping with the design's sporty, aggressive flair, the ultra-lightweight carbon fiber one-piece undertray now features an all-new pillion seat cover. Adopting the design cues of the ignition cover and matching the body color, this upgrade gives the #brabus1300redition23 a more compact and powerful silhouette. The seat has been reupholstered to feature the #brabus "Crest" stitching pattern. Finally, all-new handlebar end mirrors were purpose-built to round off the motorbike's one-of-a-kind appearance while allowing for precise adjustments.

Inspired by the design of the brand's fleet of exclusive 1-Second-Wow supercars, the #brabus1300redition23 is also equipped with #brabus Monoblock Z forged wheels. State-of-the-art manufacturing processes and a brand-new finish in "Platinum Black" ensure a hallmark #brabus look as well as maximum strength.

To add an extra touch of unique individuality, the #brabus1300redition23 is offered in two definitive color schemes – "Superblack" and "Stealth Gray". Production will be limited to 145 units for both variants, available in selected markets.

From a technical standpoint, the #brabus1300redition23 utilizes the latest WP APEX semi-active suspension technology. This allows riders to select between six dedicated damping modes - COMFORT, STREET, SPORT, TRACK, ADVANCED – at leisure or in AUTO mode, which automatically adapts to road as well as riding conditions.

Beyond offering an extraordinary riding experience, the #brabus1300redition23 makes an undeniable statement of luxury, exclusivity, and #brabus heritage styling.

The #brabus1300redition23 will be available exclusively through the official KTM.com pre-order web page.
