Overview

Introducing the 2020 Brough Superior SS100, a masterpiece of engineering that embodies the spirit of luxury and performance in the world of sport motorcycles. Reviving the iconic legacy of Brough Superior, the SS100 is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement of sophistication and cutting-edge technology. With a striking design that combines classic aesthetics with modern flair, this motorcycle is tailored for discerning riders who appreciate both style and substance. Made to order, each SS100 can be customized to reflect individual tastes, ensuring that every ride is as unique as the rider themselves. At the heart of the SS100 lies a potent 997 cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 102 horsepower at a thrilling 9600 RPM. This powerhouse is engineered for performance, boasting a torque of 130 Nm at 8000 RPM, making it an agile beast on the open road. The finely-tuned liquid-cooled system and advanced ECU ignition ensure optimal power delivery and efficiency, while the 6-speed gearbox and Adler hydraulic clutch provide smooth, responsive shifts.

The Brough Superior SS100 is packed with features that enhance the overall riding experience. Its machined titanium frame is not just lightweight but also incredibly strong, contributing to a weight of just 186 kg (410.1 pounds). The Fior-type cast aluminum front fork and progressive rate rear suspension offer adjustable preload and damping, allowing riders to tailor their setup for both comfort and performance. The double disc brakes with four-piston calipers at the front ensure powerful stopping power, while the stylish finish options—ranging from black to traditional black and silver with gold accents—add a touch of elegance. Customization options, including varied wheels, handlebars, and seats, further elevate the ownership experience. **
