1/10First road bike: Aston Martin and Brough Superior have unveiled the AMB 002 Roadster, the first street-legal motorcycle produced through their partnership. It follows the track-only AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro, introduced in 2019 and 2022, respectively. The AMB 002 is designed specifically for public-road use and expands the collaboration beyond motorcycles built only for closed circuits.
2/10Built from scratch: The AMB 002 Roadster is an entirely new motorcycle, with its engine, chassis and running gear developed specifically for the road rather than carried over from the earlier models. Aston Martin’s Design Studio worked on its appearance, while Brough Superior handled the engineering and production. The motorcycle combines carbon-fibre bodywork with a compact shape and a rider-focused layout.
3/10Aston cues: The design incorporates several details associated with Aston Martin’s cars. Its reworked side strake passes through the side fairing and extends towards the headlamp, while the twin oval exhausts feature ribbed heat sinks inspired by the Vanquish, DB12 S and DBX S. At the rear, the light blades draw inspiration from the Aston Martin Vulcan, Valkyrie and Valhalla.
4/10Road-ready details: The motorcycle also gets equipment that reflects Aston Martin’s road-car design approach. These include keyless functionality, a backlit ignition button and hand-crafted leather seat pads. The carbon-fibre fuel tank and side fairings contribute to the motorcycle’s shape and mass distribution, while crescent-shaped openings on the bodywork help with engine cooling and airflow around the motorcycle.
5/10New V-twin: Power comes from an all-new 1,083cc four-stroke, water-cooled V-twin producing 130 bhp and 110 Nm of torque. Brough Superior has tuned the engine for stronger low- and mid-range torque with a smooth top-end, reflecting the motorcycle’s road-focused purpose. Its engine cases are CNC-machined from billet at Brough Superior’s headquarters in Toulouse, France.
6/10Titanium structure: The V-twin is housed within a titanium structural frame that is milled from a solid billet and weighs 5kg. The motorcycle itself weighs 190kg, while carbon-fibre body panels and the fuel tank help keep the centre of gravity low. Aston Martin says the frame and overall layout were developed around a targeted 50:50 weight distribution.
7/10Fior fork: The image shows the AMB 001 Pro’s double-wishbone Fior fork, the basis for the front suspension used on the new AMB 002 Roadster. Unlike conventional telescopic forks, the setup separates steering and braking forces while controlling front-end geometry. Aston Martin and Brough Superior further developed the system for the AMB 002’s road-focused chassis.
8/10Built in Toulouse: Although Aston Martin and Brough Superior have British roots, the AMB 002 is designed, machined and assembled at Brough Superior’s headquarters in Toulouse, France. Brough Superior’s expertise in CNC machining and its use of titanium and carbon fibre form a central part of the motorcycle’s construction. Each AMB 002 will be individually built rather than mass-produced.
9/10Just 300 units: Production will be restricted to 300 motorcycles worldwide, making the AMB 002 the largest production run among the three Aston Martin-Brough Superior motorcycles. The AMB 001 was limited to 100 units, while the AMB 001 Pro was capped at 88. Initial orders for the AMB 002 are now being accepted, although Aston Martin has not announced its price.
10/10Deliveries soon: The AMB 002 Roadster represents the partnership’s move from track-only motorcycles to a model intended for public roads. Aston Martin says it was developed for road riding and aims to offer a different experience from the earlier AMB 001 and AMB 001 Pro. First deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q3 2027, with the 300 motorcycles being hand-built by Brough Superior.
