01. DESIGN & BODYWORK. BOLD. LUXURIOUS. BADASS.

Black is the New Black BRABUS Superblack

The night has many shades, but none as striking as all-black. Not only the night - but also the BRABUS DNA has always been Black and Bold - defined and expanded over the decades!

Elegance Meets Stealth BRABUS Stealth Gray

Another shade of the night is gray. This one is pure elegance, unwavering power and next-level stealth. This is BRABUS Stealth Gray - inspired by a legacy of Rocket performance.

Luxury Evolved

In keeping with the design's sporty, aggressive flair, the ultra lightweight one-piece carbon fiber 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 BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 a more compact and powerful silhouette.

Light up the Night

Around the striking bodywork, brand new highlight features such as the distinctive headlight mask, complete with exposed-carbon fiber side fairing, power domes as well as BRABUS Signature Stripes in the air scoop accentuate the bike's unique face.

Masterpiece Detail

In typical BRABUS fashion, the bespoke heated seat has been reupholstered to feature the exceedingly elegant BRABUS "Crest" stitching pattern.

Black and Bold

Further defining the Edition 23’s modern, sporty 1-Second- Wow factor – redesigned side panels and air-ducts reflect decades of experience in processing BRABUS prepreg carbon fiber as well as a dedication to stylish weight reduction. In addition, the naked bike’s lower fairing is made entirely of highgrade carbon.

Pushing Boundaries

Sharing the same technology platform as its predecessor, the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 is equipped with the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R EVO's 1,301 cc V-Twin engine producing 180 hp at 9,500 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 8000 rpm. As the benchmark of V-Twin evolution, this high-end configuration offers excellent power delivery - designed for enthusiasts.

V-Twin Symphony

To underscore the Edition 23's one of a kind character, BRABUS developed a special dual-pipe slip-on exhaust, defined by striking looks as well as the unmistakable sound of its sporty V-Twin symphony.

WHEELS & SUSPENSION. FORGED PERFORMANCE.

03. WHEELS & SUSPENSION. FORGED PERFORMANCE.

Unmistakably BRABUS

Inspired by the design of the BRABUS fleet of exclusive 1-Second-Wow supercars, the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 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.

The Ride of Your Life

WP Semi-active suspension technology transforms this exclusive motorbike into an agile corner chaser at the push of a button, featuring electronically controlled solenoid valves for variable damping. This offers a wide range of adjustment options - from maximum street comfort to an extremely stiff set-up for the racetrack. In addition, this intelligent suspension system features an AUTO mode, which automatically adjusts to conditions and rider input, keeping the focus on the road at all times.

Designed for Enthusiasts

For maximum control, the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 features innovative traction control, anti-wheelie functionality and selectable riding modes that can be adjusted to any environment and mood. These developments have been fine-tuned to provide more precise feedback from the engine and optimal intervention from the safety systems.

Quickshifter+

The Quickshifter+ reacts even quicker, operated by the fully adjustable CNC-machined custom foot pegs, complete with carbon fiber heel guards and a signature BRABUS black paint finish.

TFT-DISPLAY

All settings are easily accessible via the handlebar switches, and all information is shown on a large, full-color TFT display featured with its own BRABUS "Signature Red" color scheme and start up animation.

Ride Modes

Rain mode
"Rain mode" is the no-brainer setting for slippery conditions, resulting in maximum traction control, ultra-smooth throttle response, and less power, keeping the front wheel on the tarmac when you really need it.

Street mode
Just like it sounds, "Street mode" is made for the daily grind on everyday roads. Full power, default throttle response, and limited slip traction control keeps things controlled on the road.

Sport mode
Dialed in for a more spirited ride, "Sport mode" tightens up the throttle control, winds down the traction control slightly, and allows the front end to lift under hard acceleration. And of course, unleashes all the horse power.

Track mode
Allows riders to customize wheel slip levels and throttle response to suit their own individual tastes or track conditions. Traction control can be tweaked over 9 levels of slip. Anti-wheelie can also be disabled completely for those who like to hoist the front wheel across the start/finish line.

Performance mode
Takes the basic concept of "Track mode" but adapts it for the street. Riders are still able to adjust throttle response, wheel slip, and anti-wheelie functions, but retain typical street functions such as Cruise Control and KTMconnect.

MTC

Motorcycle traction control - or MTC for short - uses two different controllers to keep things in check. The most obvious of which is a wheel slip controller which regulates the amount of spin or break in traction at the rear wheel. A pitch angle controller identifies and regulates abrupt changes in front wheel lift. Each of these controllers work with individual strategies to ensure a seamless "behind-the- scenes" safety net is always in play. While the safety benefits are obvious, this also results in improved straight-line acceleration.

MTC also works when lean angles get tested, reacting immediately if the rotational speed of the rear wheel is disproportionate to the riding situation. MTC reduces the engine output with an extremely smooth, barely noticeable intervention at the throttle valves, reducing slippage to optimum levels for the selected ride mode and lean angle. Depending on the selected riding mode, MTC allows different levels of traction slip at the rear wheel. And of course, MTC can be switched off completely for the full hooligan experience.

MSR

Unlike MTC, which works when the power gets rolled on, MSR works when the power is wound off. Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) is fitted as standard fitment on the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23. MSR works with the slipper clutch to balance the throttle valve, ensuring super-smooth deceleration in the harshest conditions without any unwanted rear wheel lockup. This is deactivated in "TRACK" and "Supermoto ABS" modes, to allow riders to back the bike into corners – as you would expect.

Supermoto ABS

Three things happen when riders select "Supermoto ABS". Firstly, all ABS functionality is disabled on the rear wheel, allowing the riders to lock up the brakes and slide into corners. Secondly, the ABS system does not interfere in the event of the rear wheel lifting off the tarmac, allowing for stoppies. And thirdly, cornering ABS is disabled, allowing riders full control when barreling into fast corners with maximum brake pressure. All in all, the deactivation of these functions in "Supermoto ABS" gives the rider more control in extreme track scenarios and allows advanced riders to brake much harder for maximum apex-hunting sessions.

Cruise Control

Long motorway journeys are easily dispatched with the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 cruise control system. Easily activated and controlled by a switch on the left side of the handlebar, riders can set cruise control in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th gear, between 40 km/h and 200 km/h. That's one way to save energy for the twisty bits.

TPMS

As its name implies, the TPMS monitors tire pressure and warns riders on the TFT display of potential tire damage in the event of pressure loss. An added convenience when you want to spend more time on the road and less time checking air pressures.

ATIR

Auto-cancelling turn signals (ATIR) are a big improvement in terms of safety, as it is now impossible to forget that they are activated and flashing into infinitum. Indicators stop flashing after 10 seconds and in 150 meters.

Race On

Forget about ignition keys and mechanically locked fuel tank caps, the BRABUS 1300 R Edition 23 features keyless technology. All you need is the transponder key in your pocket and you can unlock the fuel tank, and start the machine beneath.
