BRABUS and KTM unveil ultra-exclusive 1400 R Signature Edition hyper-naked

[RiderBOT]

Limited to just 100 units worldwide, the latest collaboration between German luxury automotive specialist BRABUS and Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM pushes the boundaries of two-wheeled performance and design.

BRABUS has announced the BRABUS 1400 R Signature Edition, marking the next evolution in its partnership with KTM and succeeding the previous BRABUS 1300 R model. Based on the current KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO platform, this limited-edition machine represents the most powerful motorcycle in BRABUS’s exclusive lineup to date.

At the heart of the BRABUS 1400 R SIGNATURE EDITION lies a 1350cc LC8 V-Twin engine delivering an impressive 140kW (190hp) and 145Nm of torque. The powerplant is complemented by a bespoke underseat dual-pipe exhaust system that not only enhances the bike’s striking appearance but also produces what BRABUS describes as a “thrilling soundscape.”

The motorcycle features advanced WP APEX Semi-Active Technology (SAT) suspension with electronically controlled magnetic valves, allowing riders to adjust damping from maximum comfort to track-ready settings at the touch of a button. Stopping power comes from Brembo’s latest HYPURE four-piston monoblock brake system, with 320mm wave discs at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear.

True to BRABUS’s “Black and Bold” design philosophy, the 1400 R Signature Edition showcases extensive use of exposed-structure carbon fiber components, finished in the exclusive “Midnight Veil” color scheme. The WIDESTAR bodywork package includes a carbon front fender, LED-equipped mask featuring a daytime running light design inspired by BRABUS signature stripes, side spoilers, fuel tank fairing, and belly pan.

Rolling on 17-inch BRABUS Monoblock II EVO “PLATINUM EDITION” forged wheels, the motorcycle pays homage to one of BRABUS’s most iconic wheel designs. Additional carbon fiber touches include the rear wheel cover, single-sided swingarm cover, and chain guard.

The interior workshop at BRABUS has handcrafted a bespoke seat combining BRABUS Masterpiece leather with Dinamica microfiber, featuring embossed BRABUS logos. The attention to detail extends to form-optimized side winglets that enhance aerodynamics at the rear.

Riders can select from five dedicated rider modes, STREET, SPORT, RAIN, PERFORMANCE, and TRACK, each offering tailored power delivery, traction control, and suspension settings. All information is displayed on a large TFT color screen that greets riders with a special BRABUS animation on startup.

Each of the 100 numbered units comes with an exclusive accessories package, including a premium tailored indoor cover, high-grade BRABUS exhibition carpet, a leather cover, and a carbon fiber key box.

The BRABUS 1400 R Signature Edition is priced at €41,933 ($AUD74,146), positioning it firmly in the ultra-luxury motorcycle segment.
