Brabus

KTM Brabus 1400 R yang baharu dilaporkan sedang dibangunkan dan akan menggunakan enjin KTM yang 1350cc baharu.

Sebelum ini, KTM mengumumkan pengeluaran KTM Brabus 1300 R akan ditamatkan selepas dua tahun. Tetapi ternyata ia kerana KTM telah memperkenalkan enjin baharu melalui KTM 1390 Super Duke 2024. Enjin baharu itu menggantikan enjin LC8 1301cc lama, yang terdapat dalam KTM 1290 Super Duke Evo.

Jadi, sudah tentu Brabus baharu ini akan berdasarkan 1390 Super Duke Evo. LC8 V-Twin baharu itu mempunyai 188 hp dan tork 145 Nm. Ia juga merupakan enjin kepada 1390 Super Adventure dan 1390 Super Duke GT yang akan datang.

Walaupun KTM dan Brabus tidak mendedahkan projek itu, sebuah motosikal Jerman terjumpa permohonan Brabus kepada Pejabat Harta Intelek Kesatuan Eropah (EUIPO) untuk mendaftarkan beberapa nama. Lebih khusus lagi, Brabus telah mendaftarkan tanda dagangan “Brabus 1400 R Tailor Made”, “Brabus 1400 R Rocket”, dan “Brabus 1400 R Signature”.

Jadi, daripada hanya satu varian dengan dua skema warna berbeza, motosikal baharu itu akan mempunyai tiga varian berbeza. Mungkin “Tailor Made” merujuk kepada varian yang dibuat mengikut kemahuan pembeli, manakala “Rocket” menandakan versi prestasi, dan “Signature” bermaksud kemewahan.

Sekiranya berita ini benar, kita boleh menjangkakan untuk melihat KTM Brabus 1400 R baharu menjelang akhir tahun ini.

Renowned automotive tuner Brabus and KTM made waves in the motorcycle world by jointly announcing the launch of their highly anticipated and incredibly exclusive creation: the Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition.

  • The release marks the grand finale of their trilogy of collaborative endeavors, following the successful launches of the Brabus 1300 R and Brabus 1300 R Edition 23.
  • The Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition is truly a collector’s dream, as only 50 of these exceptional motorcycles will ever be produced and made available to enthusiasts worldwide.

The production split includes 25 units in the striking Onyx Black colorway and an additional 25 units in the elegant Diamond White. These limited-edition motorcycles boast captivating accents finished in what Brabus aptly dubs “Frozen Gold” and feature an even more extensive array of special Brabus carbon fiber bodywork.

All three collaborations between Brabus and KTM have been centered around the formidable KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo as their base. The initial release, the Brabus 1300 R, was launched in February 2022 and comprised a total of 154 bikes, offered in two distinct colors.

Astonishingly, this initial release sold out within mere minutes. Following that success, the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 came into existence, featuring 290 bikes, and, like its predecessor, it sold out almost instantly.

The heart of the Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition beats to the rhythm of the KTM LC8 V-twin engine, which generates an impressive 180hp @ 9,500 rpm and 140Nm @ 8,000 rpm.

While Brabus exercised its creative freedom in many aspects of this masterpiece, the suspension duties are performed by a WP Apex semi-active suspension system, offering both automatic and manually adjustable modes. \

The braking system consists of a pair of Brembo Stylema 4-piston calipers up front paired with a 320mm floating disc, complemented by a Brembo 2-piston caliper and a single 240mm disc in the rear.

Standard features include multiple ride modes, a quick-shifter, cornering, and supermoto ABS, and an adaptive brake light.

The design of the Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition is a testament to its exclusivity, featuring a distinctive Brabus LED headlight, side fairings adorned with MotoGP-inspired winglets, a front spoiler, and a solo seat with an integrated license plate bracket.

The wheels are the unique Brabus Monoblock Z “Gold Platinum” forged alloy units, crafted exclusively for this motorcycle. Additional Brabus-crafted details encompass a CNC triple clamp, adjustable CNC brake and clutch levers, CNC aluminum brake and clutch reservoir caps, adjustable CNC foot pegs, bar end mirrors, and a slip-on dual exhaust system adorned with Frozen Gold accent rings.

The seat itself is a work of art, featuring an exclusive Brabus leather quilted “Diamond Rising” pattern. A special Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece badge on the seat pad adds an extra layer of exclusivity.

Buyers of the Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition will also receive a tailor-made Brabus indoor motorcycle cover, floor mat, and a carbon key box, emphasizing the bespoke nature of this motorcycle.

The Brabus 1300 R Masterpiece Edition is priced at EUR41,930 (RM207k).

BRABUS is usually synonymous with high end luxury and performance cars. But since last year, BRABUS has been modifying high performance KTM motorcycles and sprinkling the bikes with their own version of luxury and high performance.

Working exclusively with KTM Motorcycles, BRABUS has created what it describes as “an undeniably statement of style and individuality”. Officially called the BRABUS 1300R Edition 23, the exclusive ultra limited-edition motorcycle has officially been launched in Malaysia with a price of RM430,000.

Completing the changes are new BRABUS Monoblock Z forged wheels with platinum black finish. 

Powering the beast is the same 1,301cc LC8 V-Twin engine that makes 180hp @ 9,500rpm and 140Nm @ 8,000rpm. Meanwhile, WP supplies the semi-active APEX suspension and steering damper. 

Priced at EUR42,500 (RM198k), all 290 units will be sold only via an online pre-order site which opens on February 16,2023.

Beberapa portal dilihat rancak menyiarkan khabar berita mengenai kerjasama antara Brabus dan KTM yang mungkin menggunakan Super Duke sebagai asas kepada model gandingan baharu mereka.

Spekulasi turut berlegar di ruang internet baru-baru ini setelah dikatakan terdapat beberapa ujian yang berlangsung antara kedua-dua pihak.

Namun, misteri akhirnya terungkai apabila laman web rasmi KTM sendiri yang mendedahkan bahawa model itu sebenarnya adalah Brabus 1300 R.

Model gabungan Brabus dan KTM itu sepatutnya dilancarkan pada 11 Februari lalu, KTM tanpa sengaja mendedahkannya semalam sebelum posting tersebut ditarik semula.

Carian Google masih lagi menemukan gambar tersebut walaupun model Brabus 1300 R itu tidak lagi dipaparkan di laman web rasmi KTM.

Berdasarkan gambar yang didedahkan, karakter agresif 1290 Super Duke masih menerima sentuhan rekabentuk unik Brabus.

Dari sudut spefisikasi pula, tidak ada sebarang perkongsian yang dibuat dan harga jualan Brabus 1300 R itu juga masih dirahsiakan.

Apa yang diketahui, motosikal pertama daripada Brabus itu adalah berdasarkan platform 1290 Super Duke Evo.

Umum berpendapat, Brabus 1300 R akan dilengkapi fork WP Apex dan ‘electronic adjustable monoshock’, dijana bersama enjin V-Twin Super Duke 1,301cc berkuasa 180hp.

Model itu dijangka berkongsi banyak komponen KTM. Perbezaan paling ketara adalah pada lampu utama dan ventilator angin di bahagian hadapan.

Brabus 1300 R juga sarat dengan kemasan carbon fiber dan material ringan untuk tangki minyak, kaliper brek, ventilator, ‘footpegs’ dan ‘adjustable lever’.

Laporan awal mendedahkan hanya 77 unit Brabus 1300 R dibina sempena menyambut ulang tahun firma itu ditubuhkan iaitu pada 1977.

Warna yang dipamerkan adalah Magma Red (merah) dan Signature Black (hitam).

German tuning house, Brabus, is set to unleash the company first motorcycle based on the KTM 1290 Super Duke EVO.

Brabus dropped a teaser on the company website, announcing that the 2022 1300 R is due for an official launch on February 11.

However, before the official unveiling, the bike made a brief appearance on KTM’s official website before they were taken down.

Despite the swift action, a Canadian publication, Motorcycle.com, managed to get their hands on the official photos.

According to reports, the Brabus gave the 1300 R a number of bespoke components, including nine-spoke forged wheels and new carbon fibre air intakes.

Significant changes have also been made to the front headlamp, which now features a circular headlight compared to the KTM.

The Brabus 1300 R is also clad with carbon fibre components, including the headlight shroud, tail and fuel tank.

Nevertheless, the Brabus 1300 R continue to get power to the rear wheel via the same 1,301cc V-Twin engine that makes 180hp and 140Nm.

Other features brought forward from the KTM include the PASC slipper clutch and PANKL transmission.

Other significant changes include a black paint job, a thicker saddle with heated seat function, and fully-adjustable hand levers.

Sebahagian besar kawasan di Malaysia telah ditimpa hujan lebat tanpa henti lebih 24 jam sekaligus menyebabkan berlakunya banjir besar.

Ini menyebabkan akses ke kawasan yang terkesan dengan banjir sukar dimasuki kenderaan lain kecuali beberapa trak pikap yang tinggi.

Bagaimanapun, pengguna Twitter, Nedim Nazri Aziz mendedahkan sahabatnya telah menggunakan kenderaan jenis Brabus G700 6X6 untuk meredah banjir bagi tujuan menyelamatkan mangsa dan menghulur bekalan dan bantuan kepada mereka yang terkesan.

Dalam gambar yang dimuat naik, jelas Brabus G700 6X6 itu membawa bekalan dan beberapa barangan lain meredah banjir.

Dengan jarak kelegaan tanah berada pada 460mm dan mampu melalui kedalaman sehingga 1,000mm menjadikan G700 6X6 ini kenderaan yang cukup sesuai untuk menempuh permukaan sukar.

Menurut laporan Paultan.org, Brabus G700 6X6 ini dibina berdasarkan Mercedes-AMG G 63 6X6 namun hanya untuk pemanduan tangan kiri namun NAza World telah meminta Brabus untuk menghasilkan 15 unit pemanduan tangan kanan untuk pasaran Malaysia.

Ketika diperkenalkan pada 2015, Brabus G700 6X6 ini dipasarkan pada harga RM3.2 juta (sebelum cukai).

Brabus G700 6X6 ini dikuasakan enjin bi-turbo 5.5L V8 yang menjana 690hp dan 960Nm dan dipadankan bersama AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatik. – Paultan.org

Brabus sememangnya nama besar dalam dunia kenderaan empat roda terutamanya dalam menghasilkan kereta Mercedes berprestasi tinggi.

Bagaimanapun, selepas 45 tahun, syarikat Jerman itu julung kalinya bakal membangunkan jentera dua roda yang dinamakan Brabus 1300 R.

Perkara itu disahkan menerusi dokumen yang telah difailkan di Eropah yang memaparkan nama KTM Brabus 1300 R sekaligus merujuk kepada sebuah motosikal.

Nama model tersebut turut mendedahkan model itu dibangunkan dengan kerjasama pengeluar motosikal Austria, KTM.

Kertas kerja itu juga memaklumkan bahawa jentera yang akan mendapat talaan istimewa dari Brabus adalah sebuah KTM 1290 Super Duke R.

Namun, apa yang mencuri perhatian adalah dokumen tersebut menjelaskan Brabus 1300 R itu menawarkan 177hp dan 139Nm sama seperti 1290 Duke R. Ini bermakna, Brabus hanya akan menyentuh aspek rekaan di samping menawarkan spesifikasi yang lebih tinggi berbanding meningkatkan prestasi enjin.

Bagaimanapun, dimensi jentera tersebut jauh lebih langsing berbanding versi KTM.

Apa pun nantikan pendedahan rasmi oleh Brabus yang dijangkakan akan berlaku tidak lama lagi dan bakal ditawarkan sebagai model 2022.

Four-wheel tuning giant, Brabus, is set to make the jump to the world of two-wheels as latest reports suggest the company is working on lightweight KTM 1290 Super Duke RR.

According to the German website Motorrad, the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR will get the Brabus treatment and will be named Brabus 1300 R as confirmed by European Patent Office.

Nevertheless, Motorrad claimed that the Brabus 1300 R will remain close to the original 1290 Super Duke RR however it will weigh 5kg less than the stock machine.

Despite no further details other than the trademark that is attached to the filing, the Brabus 1300 R clearly refers to a motorcycle.

However, it remains unknown when will we get the chance to see the actual product. Until then, stay tuned!
