With only 290 units available in selected markets, the motorcycle boasts a black and bold identity and is designed to make a statement with its aggressive elegance and power.
The motorcycle is a follow-up to the BRABUS 1300 R released in 2022, built on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo platform. The bike has a unique face with a distinctive headlight mask, exposed-carbon side fairing, power domes, and BRABUS Signature Stripes.
The Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 has a new pillion seat cover, and its seat now displays the BRABUS "Crest" stitching pattern after being reupholstered. The bike is equipped with BRABUS Monoblock Z forged wheels in "Platinum Black" and two colour schemes - "Superblack" and "Stealth Gray".
With a 1,301 cc capacity, the LC8 V-Twin engine of the bike generates 180hp at 9,500 rpm and 140Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm, which is exceptional. Moreover, riders of the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 can choose from six distinct damping modes, including COMFORT, STREET, SPORT, TRACK, and ADVANCED, with the WP APEX semi-active suspension technology. Alternatively, they can use AUTO mode, which automatically adjusts to the road and riding conditions.

Additionally, the bike boasts redesigned side panels and air ducts, paying homage to decades of experience in processing prepreg carbon fibre.
BRABUS's interior specialists in Bottrop, Germany, treated the bike's stylish bespoke seat with expert attention to detail. As a result, the motorcycle boasts unique features, such as the BRABUS "Crest" stitching pattern, custom-made heated seat, and start-up animation.
