Richard Mille Unveils the Ultimate Superbike: RMB01 – Limited to Just 150 Units

The RMB01 was recently unveiled at the Le Mans Classic 2025 event in France, with a limited production run of just 150 units globally.

This superbike, named RMB01, measures 2,114 mm in length, 725.5 mm in width, has a wheelbase of 1,493 mm, and a seat height of 808 mm. It features a low handlebar and a forward-leaning riding position, reminiscent of high-end sportbikes.

The design of the RMB01 takes inspiration from early 20th-century American racing bikes, infused with a minimalist philosophy and aerodynamic efficiency. It boasts an elongated fuel tank, a streamlined seat, and an exposed engine, creating a powerful “mechanized” aesthetic while maintaining modern appeal through exquisite rounded details.

The front end of the bike is a seamless unit, integrating a windshield and aerodynamic wing, which increases downforce at high speeds. Additionally, the RMB01 now features LED headlights, an upgrade from the AMB 001.

The entire frame is crafted from carbon fiber casting, paired with a lightweight alloy exoskeleton to optimize weight and torsional rigidity. A standout design feature, true to the Richard Mille spirit, are the 17-inch wheels with mechanical gear-inspired styling, reminiscent of the tourbillon mechanism in fine watches. Details such as the axles and brake discs are also crafted in harmony with the layered mechanical structure.

The RMB01 features a mechanical-style instrument cluster with a dial resembling Richard Mille watches, complete with the vehicle’s badge and serial number.

Powering the Brough Superior RMB01 is a 997 cc, 2-cylinder engine crafted from aluminum-magnesium alloy, delivering an impressive 130 horsepower. The engine is paired with a 6-speed cassette gearbox with a hydraulic multi-plate clutch and a traction control system.

The front suspension is a Fior-designed independent system with a double triangle linkage, CNC-machined from aluminum, offering adjustable compression and rebound with an 85 mm travel. Meanwhile, the rear suspension utilizes a direct-mounted aluminum CNC swingarm, reducing weight and increasing rigidity. The monoshock rear suspension is fully adjustable, with an 113 mm travel.

Every mechanical detail is handcrafted in France by Brough Superior artisans, adhering to the same standards as Richard Mille watchmaking.

The RMB01 is offered in three distinct versions: Pearl of Speed, featuring a matte white finish with red accents; Selene, a matte grey and orange combination; and Noctural Sapphire, a blend of sapphire blue and grey.

Although the official price has not been disclosed, experts predict the RMB01 will carry a price tag of at least 150,000 USD (3.92 billion VND), based on the pricing of previous superlative models such as the AMB 001.

The collaboration between Richard Mille and Brough Superior on the RMB01 goes beyond mere speed; it is a fusion of mechanical engineering, artistic design, and exquisite craftsmanship. Much like a Richard Mille timepiece showcases time through its intricate moving gears, the RMB01 superbike showcases its performance through its exposed, vibrant machinery.
