Aston Martin and Brough Superior announce the AMB 002 Roadster: the first road bike from the ongoing collaboration between the two iconic, historic British performance brands, following the sensational track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro superbikes introduced in 2019 and 2022.

The AMB 002 Roadster is an all-new machine. It continues Aston Martin and Brough Superior's radical exploration of motorcycle design and engineering in the form of a lightweight, razor-sharp machine built for maximum enjoyment on the road.

Mean machine

An expression of the pure, pared-back essence of a rider-focused sports bike, the AMB 002 uses fluid lines, compact proportions and precisely sculpted carbon fiber body elements to create a form packed with drama and dynamic tension. Emphasizing its unique forward-biased kinetic style while giving glimpses of the motorcycle's mechanical beauty, the AMB 002 is an unmistakable product of the Aston Martin and Brough Superior collaboration.

The Aston Martin Design Studio's work is evident in every curve and detail of the AMB 002. The relationship between form and function is perfectly expressed in the pebble-smooth shape of the carbon fiber fuel tank and side fairings, which rise to meet the rider when tucked out of the slipstream. Crescent-shaped gills slice into the flanks to aid engine cooling and streamline the airflow, while wire-design stalks for the low-slung mirrors embody the AMB 002's lightweight construction.

Corbon Fiber everywhere

Details with a more direct four-wheeled influence are also found in abundance. The iconic side-strake has been reimagined, piercing through the side fairing and extending forwards to encapsulate the headlamp. Twin oval exhausts feature ribbed heat sinks which echo the exhaust finisher design of Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S. A dramatic array of rear light blades are the same type as those seen on the tails of the Aston Martin Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla hypercars, while keyless function, a backlit ignition button and hand-crafted saddle leather seat pads bring touches of luxury and craftsmanship found in Aston Martin's series production road cars.

Exceptional design, materials, manufacturing, and craftsmanship are what define all Aston Martin and Brough Superior motorcycles. Achieving such high standards is incompatible with mass production, which is why, like its track-only predecessors, the AMB 002 production will be limited to just 300 individually built motorcycles.

Befitting its historic significance as the first motorcycle from the partnership designed for the road, the AMB 002 Roadster showcases truly original, state-of-the-art engineering. The result of a bespoke development process, it has been designed and engineered from scratch, without compromise or carry-over componentry.

At its heart sits an all-new 1083cc four-stroke water-cooled V-Twin developing 130bhp and 110 Nm of torque. Tuned for strong low- and mid-range torque with a smooth, thrilling top end, it gives the AMB 002 a responsive, engaging character with accessible, exhilarating performance. Precisely tailored for maximum enjoyment in a road environment, its mission is to make every ride - and every rider - feel special.

Designed, machined, and assembled in-house at Brough Superior's headquarters in Toulouse, France, the AMB 002's engine features exquisite CNC-machined billet engine cases optimized for weight reduction and structural efficiency. This is one of many areas where Brough Superior demonstrates mastery of meticulous, aerospace-grade processes and materials.

The new V-Twin sits within an extraordinary titanium frame. Milled from a solid billet, it forms a structural spine; a striking feature of Brough Superior's unique backbone architecture. Weighing just 5kg - a fraction of the weight of a conventional design - the AMB 002's frame is key to achieving a perfect 50:50 weight distribution.

With an exceptionally low center of gravity - achieved with the help of carbon fiber body panels and a fuel tank - the AMB 002's centralized mass creates an immediate sense of balance and agility. Combined with its lightweight build - just 190kg - and abundance of low and mid-range torque, the AMB 002 combines muscle performance with nimble athleticism.

Another unique Brough Superior solution refined and applied to the AMB 002 is the distinctive double-wishbone "Fior fork" front suspension. Avoiding the compromises of conventional telescopic forks, the Fior design separates steering and braking forces while maintaining precise control of the front-end geometry.

An evolution of the system developed for the AMB 001 Pro, the AMB 002 delivers outstanding steering precision and agility while also giving the rider confidence-inspiring stability through high-speed corners. Thanks to the Fior system's anti-dive characteristics, it also delivers exceptional stability under braking, especially when braking while leaned over into a corner.

Strictly limited to 300 motorcycles, with first deliveries scheduled to begin in Q3 2027.
