Valkyrie-inspired Aston Martin AMB 001 Professional is a 225-hp superbike

Aston Martin is digging its boots somewhat deeper into the motorbike phase. The corporate teamed with Brough Superior to develop the AMB 001 Professional, a limited-edition, 225-horsepower follow-up to the AMB 001 launched in 2019 that was developed solely for monitor use.

Each corporations clarify that the Aston Martin Valkyrie offered inspiration from the AMB 001 Professional. Energy comes from a water-cooled, 1.0-liter V-twin engine that develops 225 horsepower, which represents a 25% enhance in comparison with the AMB 001. If that does not sound terribly spectacular, take a look at it this manner: With a dry weight of 385 kilos, the Professional affords a power-to-weight ratio that is almost on par with a Formulation One automotive.

Huge energy requires huge brakes, and the AMB 001 Professional fortunately ticks that field as properly. Up entrance, there are two stainless-steel discs gripped by a pair of four-piston calipers. Out again, there is a comparable setup with smaller discs and two-piston calipers. The 17-inch 10-spoke entrance wheel and disc-style rear wheel are each made with carbon fiber to scale back unsprung weight, and the suspension system is adjustable.

Past the spectacular specs, the AMB 001 Professional stands out with a number of cool options. One is a crankcase machined from strong billet aluminum. The physique package (which features a entrance spoiler, a tunnel-effect air blade that directs air over the rider, facet wings, and a rear stabilizer fin) will increase downforce, and the livery is a tribute to Aston Martin’s race vehicles. We hope you want inexperienced: it is the one coloration obtainable.
