Overview

Introducing the 2012 CR&S DUU Solo, a striking naked bike that seamlessly combines Italian craftsmanship with modern engineering. Designed for riders who crave a raw, unfiltered experience, the DUU Solo stands out in the crowded motorcycle market with its unique aesthetic and robust performance. Born from the lineage of CR and S—an acronym for Café Racers and Superbikes—this machine is a testament to the brand's commitment to building motorcycles that are not just about getting from point A to B, but about the exhilarating journey in between. At the heart of the DUU Solo lies a powerful 1916 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 95.21 horsepower at 5100 RPM and a torque of 148 Nm at 4300 RPM. This powerhouse propels the bike to a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), providing a thrilling ride that’s both exhilarating and accessible. The combination of a 5-speed gearbox and a wet multidisc clutch ensures smooth gear transitions, while the unique bore and stroke dimensions (104.8 x 111.1 mm) contribute to the bike’s remarkable torque delivery. Riders will appreciate the air-cooled design, which adds simplicity and reliability to the overall performance, making each ride a true pleasure. The chassis and suspension of the CR&S DUU Solo are engineered for both comfort and control. Its stainless steel main structure not only provides durability but also enhances the bike's aesthetic appeal. The front features a sophisticated upside-down telescopic fork with 48 mm diameter, offering adjustable hydraulic damping and spring preload for a customizable ride. The braking system is equally impressive, with double wave floating discs and radial 4-piston calipers up front, delivering confidence-inspiring stopping power. With a seat height of 800 mm, the bike accommodates a wide range of riders, and its sleek profile combined with a weight of 244 kg (537.9 lbs) ensures agility without compromising stability. **

Pros

  • Impressive Performance: The powerful V2 engine delivers exhilarating acceleration and a strong torque curve, perfect for spirited riding.
  • Unique Design: The Italian craftsmanship and unique naked bike styling make the DUU Solo a true head-turner on the road.
  • Adjustable Suspension: Both front and rear suspension settings are adjustable, allowing riders to customize their ride according to personal preferences and road conditions.

Cons

  • Weight: At 244 kg (537.9 lbs), it may feel heavy for less experienced riders, particularly at low speeds or when maneuvering.
  • Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of just 15.5 liters (4.1 gallons), longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Limited Dealer Network: As a niche manufacturer, parts and service availability may be limited, making maintenance potentially more challenging for some owners.
