JAKARTA - KTM recently introduced a large-powered motor for the Malaysian market, namely KTM Brabus 1300 R Edition 23. This motorbike is the result of a collaboration between KTM, a two-wheeled vehicle manufacturer from Austria, and Brabus, a well-known luxury automotive brand in the world.

The 1300 R Edition 23 brabus has a sporty and gahar design, with a touch of Brabus luxury. This motorbike features a very aggressive and suitable design for motorists who want a driving sensation that is different from the designers of the design.

The bike is based on KTM 1290 Super Duke R Evo, and is equipped with a Monoblock Z rim, carbon body, and a comfortable seat for motorists.

Despite coming from the Super Duke R, the 1300 R Brabus has round LED headlights featuring the Brabus logo. The bike also uses other Brabus spare parts, such as water ducts, baki under the chair, and aluminium components of the CNC Brabus.

To maximize the ability of this motorbike, KTM embeds the semi-active suspension of WP Apex with six modes, namely Comfort, Street, Sport, Track, Advanced, and Auto.

This motorbike has an LC8 V-Twin 1,301 cc engine which produces a power of 180 dk and a torque of 140 Nm. This impressive performance of the motorbike is also supported by Brabus' double slip-on exhaust.

With a strong engine, the Brabus 1300 R is capable of reaching a speed of 0-100 km/h in about 3.2 seconds. This performance is also supported by a quickshifter of six accelerations.

This motorbike is only produced as many as 290 units worldwide, with one unit sold on the Malaysian market at a price of 430,000 Malaysian ringgit or around Rp. 1.39 billion.
