EICMA 2018 | Brough Superior makes 100 (thousand) with the Anniversary

Upper Brough – Among the many special motorbikes present at EICMA, Upper Brough deserves a special mention, not only for the record price of its products but also for the technical characteristics of these motorcycles created completely by hand in Toulouse.

Brough Superior Anniversary: ​​the technical characteristics

Brough Superior is a brand founded by George Brough in 1919 and since its origins has been nicknamed the "Rolls Royce of motorcycles". Her name is linked to Lawrence of Arabia for appearing with different models in the 1000s film. Today the property is French and to celebrate the centenary, the Brough Superior Anniversary was launched. The 125 cc engine, handcrafted, is capable of delivering a power of 190 hp on a total vehicle weight of XNUMX kg. The fork has an innovative construction and intersection system with the handlebar, the headlights are full LED and many mechanical parts were made from solid material.

The four-disc braking system is an innovative patent that takes inspiration from the world of aeronautics like many other solutions (Toulouse is the reference city in France for this sector). The titanium frame guarantees a unique set-up and great rideability. Many original solutions, however, come at a high price: 59.000 euros (including VAT) for the standard models, and 100.000 euros for the Anniversary version.
