After launching the Erik Buell Racing 1190RX superbike and 2015 EBR 1190SX streetfighter offering it seems the American bikemaker is all set to expand its 1,200cc family. According to reports, EBR is working on a new adventure-touring offering based on its siblings. The new offering will be christened EBR 1190AX and is expected to make its debut by end of 2015. Indian two-wheeler giant Hero MotoCorp has 49.2 per cent stake in EBR which it brought in 2013.
This announcement doesn’t come much of a surprise as demand for sport-adventure motorcycles has climbed dramatically in the European market. For this purpose KTM and BMW unveiled two new adventure motorcycle offerings at the 2014 EICMA motorcycle show earlier this month. According to EBR officials the EBR 1190AX will not be a hardcore adventure motorcycle and has been designed to spend more time on tarmac while touring and negotiate minor off-road sections. To keep the cost low, the EBR 1190AX will be based on the same platform as the EBR 1190RX and 1190SX. But EBR boffins will modify the 1190AX to better suit its adventure-touring characteristics.
It is speculated that the EBR 1190AX will feature the same powerplant as its siblings. Powering the EBR 1190AX will be a 1,190cc, V-twin motor pumping out 186PS at 10,600rpm and peak torque of 138Nm at 8,200rpm. If EBR persists with these numbers then the EBR 1190AX will most likely become the most powerful production adventure-touring motorcycle. It will be interesting to see whether EBR loads its adventure-touring offering with electronics similar to its rivals but a traction control system will be standard. In terms of pricing, the EBR 1190AX is expected to be priced around Rs 11 lakh in the US market.
