Fragment, DAB Motors and BRABUS have joined forces on the BRABUS URBAN E FRAGMENT EDITION, transforming the German tuner’s first electric motorcycle through Hiroshi Fujiwara’s distinctly restrained visual language.
Based on the BRABUS URBAN E unveiled earlier this year, the new edition leaves its underlying mechanical package intact and instead treats the motorcycle as a study in contrast. The original’s more overt BRABUS treatment gives way to a stark black-and-white palette: black bodywork is offset by white-painted carbon-fiber wheel covers, white Brembo brake calipers, white BRABUS lettering and a white BRABUS Masterpiece leather seat. fragment branding appears selectively across the side panels and front fender, while a bespoke crystal-clear rear light incorporates the label’s logo directly into its lens.
The URBAN E retains the sculptural mix of carbon fiber and precision-machined hardware that distinguished the earlier BRABUS iteration. Carbon components extend across the front fender, side ducts, engine covers, belly pan, wheel arches, rear winglets and brake-cooling ducts, contrasted with glossy and matte black aero elements.
Up front, an illuminated BRABUS badge sits alongside a bespoke headlight unit with vertical daytime-running lights, while the supermotard-style handlebar incorporates CNC-machined controls, bar-end mirrors and brake levers. Mechanically, the FRAGMENT EDITION remains unchanged from the BRABUS URBAN E, producing 27.6 kW (37 hp) and 475 Nm of torque at the wheel, with a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) and up to 150 km (93 miles) of urban range from its 7.1-kWh battery. Five selectable riding modes – Eco, Street, Sport, Nitrous and Reverse – further preserve the performance-focused character beneath its more understated exterior.
Each BRABUS URBAN E FRAGMENT EDITION is hand-built by DAB Motors in France, with production restricted to just 10 individually numbered units worldwide. The collaboration reflects DAB’s broader philosophy of approaching the motorcycle as a designed object as much as a mode of transport, while fragment’s intervention demonstrates how a largely color-driven redesign can significantly alter the personality of an existing machine without changing its engineering. Priced at $50,000 USD, the motorcycle is being offered by allocation, with reservations available through DAB Motors. A US-specification version is also planned with adaptations for local regulations.
