With 188PS of power on tap, the EBR 11990SX becomes the most powerful production streetbike offering in the world

EBR 1190SX

US based Erick Buell Racing (EBR), of which Hero MotoCorp owns 49.2 per cent stake had last month unveiled its new streetbike offering, the EBR 1190SX. At the time of unveil, EBR hadn’t revealed engine specifications of the new bike and this left a room for rumours and speculations. But news has come in that the streetbike offering will feature the same powerplant as its faired sibling, the EBR 1190RX. The new EBR 1190SX a 1190cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin motor pumping out 188PS at 10,600rpm and torque rating of 138Nm at 8,2000rpm. This makes the new EBR 1190SX the most powerful production streetbike eclipsing the KTM 1290 Super Duke that pumps out 179.5PS of power. Other details regarding the bike include that it will not feature a traction control system or ABS, which should make it quite a wild beast to tame.

In terms of styling, the EBR 1190SX has similar styling details as its faired sibling, the only difference being the lack of fairing and revised headlamp cowl with the traditional vertically stacked twin headlamp. Other notable difference is that EBR has chucked the clip-on bars for traditional flat and wide handlebar, this should enable the rider to have a more upright and comfortable riding posture on the EBR 1190SX.

The EBR 1190SX uses the same aluminum frame chassis with integral fuel reservoir as found on its faired sibling. Suspension duties are handled by Showa sourced inverted big piston front forks and mono-shock setup at rear. Braking is done via a 386mm, single perimeter disc brakes at front and a 220mm single disc unit at rear. The EBR 1190SX will hit US dealerships by second week of July and has been priced at Rs 10.2 lakhs (excluding customs and local taxes). The bike will be available in red, white and black colour options.
