Brough Superior Lawrence Dagger S

Brough Superior has just unveiled the new Dagger S, a sportier evolution of their sharp modern roadster that first arrived in 2022. While the mechanical package remains identical, the S sharpens the riding experience with targeted ergonomic and styling tweaks aimed at delivering a more aggressive, focused feel on the road.

The standout change is the handlebar setup. The bars now sit noticeably lower and further forward compared to the standard Dagger. This shifts more of the rider’s weight over the front wheel, creating a naturally racier riding position that encourages committed cornering and heightens the sense of connection with the front end. Brough describes it as enhancing the bike’s already dynamic character and low center of gravity.

Visually, the front fairing and nose cone have been refined with sharper cutaways and more aggressive lines, giving the S a meaner, more aerodynamic stance. The fuel tank and select fairing panels feature a striking full carbon-fiber livery that alternates between gloss and matte finishes, highlighted by a distinctive honeycomb pattern on top of the tank. You’ll also spot fresh “S - Sport” badging and updated carbon elements around the radiator sides. These details make the Dagger S instantly recognizable while keeping its overall compact, muscular silhouette.

Dimensionally, the Dagger S measures slightly narrower at 752.8 millimeters wide versus 782.5 millimeters on the standard model. Everything else — wheelbase, seat height, and weight — stays the same at 1491 millimeters, 810 millimeters, and 200 kilograms with a perfect 50/50 distribution.

Under the skin, the S is unchanged. Power comes from Brough’s own 997cc liquid-cooled 88-degree V-twin, producing 102 horsepower at 9600 rpm and 87 Newton-meters of torque at 7300 rpm. It meets Euro 5 standards and breathes through electronic fuel injection with dual 50-millimeter throttle bodies. The chassis retains the signature Fior-type front suspension with CNC-machined aluminum wishbones and titanium links, paired with an aluminum swingarm, titanium main frame, and high-end Donerre shocks. Braking is handled by Beringer or similar premium calipers on substantial discs, with Continental ABS.

In short, the Dagger S is a refinement rather than a revolution — same exceptional engineering, same handcrafted quality from the Toulouse factory, but with a clear emphasis on sportier ergonomics and bolder aesthetics. It’s the perfect choice for riders who loved the original Dagger but wanted it dialed up for more aggressive riding.
