BRABUS TEAMS UP WITH AWAKE TO CREATE THE ULTIMATE SHADOW JETBOARD
The BRABUS x Awake Shadow Jetboard is a limited-edition electric jetboard born from a collaboration between BRABUS, the German performance tuning brand renowned for pushing Mercedes-Benz vehicles to their engineering limits, and Awake, the Swedish pioneer of high-performance electric water sports equipment. Restricted to just 77 pieces worldwide and priced at approximately 17,000 euros, the Shadow Jetboard delivers BRABUS's signature black-and-red aesthetic onto a machine capable of 55+ kph and 0-50 kph in under 3 seconds.
Performance Specifications: Speed, Power, and the BRABUS Mode
At the core of the Shadow Jetboard is Awake's linear jet propulsion system, paired with carbon fiber fins engineered for maximum control and hydrodynamic precision at high speeds. The platform delivers a claimed top speed of over 55 kph and accelerates from standstill to 50 kph in just 3 seconds, figures that rival many full-size personal watercraft. What sets the BRABUS collaboration apart is the exclusive BRABUS Mode, unlocked via the Awake app, which releases an additional 20% increase in torque output, described by the brand as the highest torque available in any production jetboard. Riding time reaches up to 40 minutes on the standard battery, extendable to 60 minutes with the optional XR battery upgrade.
Design: BRABUS Signature Meets Marine Engineering
The Shadow Jetboard's visual identity is immediately recognizable as BRABUS work. The board's matte black body is accented with red detailing that echoes BRABUS's automotive tuning aesthetic, giving it the same menacing presence on water that the brand's vehicles carry on road. The construction is robust and aerodynamic, shaped to minimize drag at speed while remaining stable enough for riders of varying experience levels. Carbon fiber fins add structural precision and a premium material signature consistent with BRABUS's commitment to weight-optimized performance.
A Collector's Piece for Watersports Enthusiasts
With only 77 units produced globally, the Shadow Jetboard occupies the same collector territory as BRABUS's limited automotive releases. Each board carries BRABUS branding and comes with access to the BRABUS Mode via the Awake companion app, making it both a functional performance machine and a statement collectible.
