The BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 is a luxurious design, BRABUS typical attention to detail and ultra-limited exclusivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conceptualized to make a statement and merge pure, luxury-infused energy with undaunted Naked bike precision. The new Edition 23 represents the best of both brands in its aggressively elegant looks, functionality and power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Returning enhanced highlight ingredients of the BRABUS design DNA \u2013 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 \u2013 define the motorbike’s an exceedingly unique and sporty character while ensuring an instant 1-Second-Wow factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform of the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 remains the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO. As KTM’s evolution in performance-built motorbikes, this model offers the best in cutting-edge riding experiences, uncompromising ergonomics and the bike’s beating heart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23<\/span><\/h2>\n

The BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 maintains and expands its Black and Bold identity with new features. A distinctive headlight mask with exposed-carbon side fairing, power domes, and BRABUS Signature Stripes in the air scoop accentuates the Edition 23’s unique face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Redesigned side panels and air ducts are a further homage to decades of experience in processing prepreg carbon fibre processing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In keeping with the design’s sporty, aggressive flair, the ultra-lightweight carbon fibre one-piece undertray now features an all-new pillion seat cover. Adopting the design cues of the ignition cover and matching the body colour, this upgrade gives the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 a more compact and powerful silhouette.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
