Just a few months ago we learned about the fruit of the first collaboration project between Brabus and DAB Motors. Based on the French brand’s 1α modular platform, this initiative was presented under three different models. Now both companies, together with Fragment Designofficially present this Brabus Urban E Fragment Edition. Like last time, they have taken advantage of Milan Design Week to make it known to the world.
Brabus Urban E Fragment Edition: 3 different approaches and one final destination
Simon DabadieFounder and Design Director of Dab Motors, puts context to this collaborative project by explaining: “The story began during Milan Design Week, when Hiroshi Fujiwara discovered the Brabus × Dab and was immediately captivated by the motorcycle. This meeting inspired the idea of developing a Fragment-style motorcycle together.”
“We jointly transferred Fragment’s minimalist design language to the Brabus Urban E, with a harmonious combination of black and white, as well as matte and glossy surfaces. Every detail was reinterpreted: from the painted carbon components and the white Brabus seat to the custom-made transparent taillight with the Fragment logo.”
He concludes by stating: “The result brings together the sober aesthetics of Fragment, the unmistakable identity of Brabus and the iconic design of Dab in a unique motorcycle”. In conclusion, the Brabus Urban E Fragment Edition brings together three different approaches to contemporary style and engineering. Its design dominated by black and white also includes a multitude of details that set the tone, among which we can highlight:
- White carbon fiber hubcaps
- white brake calipers
- A custom made white Brabus Masterpiece leather seat
