There will be 77 each of the Brabus 1300 R in red and black, at a steep price of 39,500 euros. Forged wheels, a twin-pipe exhaust and a number of carbon and milled parts make the difference.
The business with exclusive special series can work, the limited special series are often sold out in no time. Whether this will also be the case with the Brabus 1300 R will be decided by the market, or 154 buyers who scorn a KTM 1290 Super Duke Evo, available from 20,799 euros, and instead invest 39,500 euros in the Brabus 1300 R.
Technically, the Brabus is a KTM 1290 Super Duke Evo. Semi-active chassis, steering damper, five driving modes, both have that. The V2 engine is also identical: 1301 ccm, 180 hp, 140 Nm – that should be enough for a refreshing driving experience.
Brabus installs forged wheels with nine spokes and attaches a double silencer to the original manifold system. Other parts from Barbus are air intakes, launcher mask, passenger seat cover and front spoiler made of carbon. Fork bridge, hand lever and footrests are CNC-milled parts from Brabus. Brabus also contributes a heated seat.
There will be 77 of each of the two color variants red and black – 1977 is the year Brabus was founded. Each Brabus 1300 R comes with a sticker with the serial number.
The Brabus 1300 R can only be ordered online by registered users from February 14 from 3 p.m. on the specific Pre-Order Websitewhere you can also register.
