Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2023 Brough Superior AMB 001, a striking fusion of art and engineering that redefines the boundaries of sport motorcycles. With its roots steeped in luxury and performance, Brough Superior has crafted a machine that appeals not only to the discerning enthusiast but also to those with a taste for exclusivity. Collaborating with the design finesse of Aston Martin, the AMB 001 stands as a testament to the brand’s commitment to performance and aesthetics, making it a rare gem in the ultra-premium motorcycle segment. At the heart of the AMB 001 lies a formidable 997cc 88° V-twin engine, generating an astonishing 180 horsepower (131.4 kW). This powerhouse ensures that the ride is not only exhilarating but also remarkably responsive, thanks to its turbo fuel system and a sophisticated six-speed gearbox. The combination of oil and air cooling keeps the engine operating at peak performance, while the multiplate oil-bath clutch with hydraulic operation and APTC slipper clutch enhances rider control during aggressive maneuvers. With a power-to-weight ratio of 1.0 HP/kg, the AMB 001 promises blistering acceleration and nimble handling, inviting riders to push the limits on both the track and winding roads. The AMB 001 is adorned with cutting-edge technology and features that elevate the riding experience. Its CNC aluminium frame, integrated with a structural engine and a carbon fibre body, not only contributes to the bike's lightweight agility but also enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. The Fior-type CNC machined aluminium front suspension and adjustable rear mono-shock provide excellent handling and comfort, absorbing the roughness of the road while ensuring precise steering. Stopping power is equally impressive, with double disc brakes at the front paired with high-performance radial calipers, ensuring that this beast can halt as swiftly as it accelerates. Available in a striking palette of Grey, Yellow, and Red, the AMB 001 is designed to turn heads while delivering an unparalleled riding experience. **
