The German tuner Brabus is one of the best in the world, and when it joins forces with KTM, perfection is created. It is a motorcycle based on the KTM 1290 Super Duke R EVO model, an amazing two-wheeler, the Brabus 1300 R Edition 23.

The motorcycle is powered by a 1,301 cc V-twin engine with 177 hp (130 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Brabus has confirmed that only 290 examples of this motorcycle will be produced. This is not the first time that these two companies have collaborated together. Last year they worked on the same motorcycle, and for this year the tuner improved its appearance.

Brabus 1300 R Edition 23 is offered in two special colors, Superblack black and Stealth gray. It is equipped with carbon fiber parts, a twin-pipe exhaust system, and Platinum Black Monoblock Z forged wheels that perfectly match the dark design of the bike. The seat is upholstered and stitched in the Brabus “Crest” style, and has the option of heating.

The latest WP APEX semi-active suspension technology takes care of driving comfort, but also aggressiveness when desired. There are five settings available: Comfort, Street, Sport, Track and Advanced. It is also possible to select Auto mode, in which the motorcycle chooses the best setting.

Only 290 examples of this motorcycle will be produced, 145 each in black and gray. It will cost 42,500 euros, and will not be available in all markets.

For several years now, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CF MOTO has been trying to conquer the domestic and global market with its affordable street bikes. Thanks to good positioning but also connections with some of the leading brands in the industry such as KTM, CF MOTO is always one step ahead of other domestic manufacturers, not only in terms of build quality and performance, but also in terms of style. Such is the case with the latest model 700 CL-X Sport.

Following the recent introduction of the mid-weight adventure motorcycle, the 800MT, which uses KTM’s 800cc engine, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer has prepared the most sporty 700 CL-X Sport model for the European market.

The 700 CL-X Sport is powered by a 693 cc twin engine with electronic fuel injection and four valves per cylinder. The engine power is 70 hp, which adequately classifies it in the class of medium-weight motorcycles currently led by Yamaha models MT-07 and XSR700. However, what sets the 700 CL-X apart from the competition are the premium components, such as equipped Brembo brakes and fully adjustable suspension, cruise control, self-deactivating turn signals and driving mode selection, traction control and ABS.

With an affordable price (around € 7,000), the 700 CL-X Sport will certainly be a good alternative for those willing to spend less money, as its competition like the KTM 890 Duke and Triumph Street Triple 765 costs much more.
