2023 Edition KTM Brabus 1300 R

by

We’ll confess we’re not too sure about the Brabus brand. You see the name on fancy Mercedes cars – but also on those little Smart cars. They look trick – but the real Mercedes performance brand is AMG, and it’s those that get the 700bhp twin-turbo engines?

The Brabus relationship with KTM is also a bit weird, though we hear it’s down to senior management at the bike firm being pals with the bosses at Brabus. There was a Brabus edition Super Duke last year, which apparently sold well, so there’s a new one here for 2023. Priced at a stiff £37k, and limited to 290 units, it features posh Brabus Monoblock Z forged wheels and a Brabus exhaust, plus loads of carbon panelsm air ducts, belly pan and tai unit, plus a special seat.  It’s got a lightweight lithium battery, quick-turn throttle Brabus bar-end mirrors and a one-off Brabus startup dash animation.

Fancy it? You can register your interest via the KTM website
