We all know Brabus as a leading tuner offering bespoke modifications for Mercedes-Benz — and occasionally other marques — but the German company has also branched into other industries, including marine and fashion. Last year, Brabus collaborated with Awake to launch the Shadow electric surfboard, and recently, the two have joined forces again to introduce the Brabus x Awake Limited Edition Shadow Explore Jetboard “One of 77,” which raises the bar even further.

Limited to just 77 examples, the exclusive jetboard is based on Awake’s Rävik Explore platform, featuring a full carbon-fibre body, an updated drivetrain system, and upgrades in both Brabus Mode and aesthetics. The striking black-and-red design and crossover branding make a strong first impression, but details such as the redesigned deckpad with high-grip performance foam in Brabus’ signature triangle pattern, plus an integrated rear LED light, truly elevate its appearance. Carbon-fibre fins not only add a sporty, aggressive edge but also enhance stability at high speeds, ensuring both novice and experienced riders can enjoy the experience.

Awake claims that activating Brabus Mode delivers a 40% boost in acceleration, with powerful torque and sharp agility, allowing the jetboard to reach a top speed of 55 km/h. Thanks to the new XR 4 battery and Awake’s SmartPair technology, ride time is now extended to up to 60 minutes, while the quick, intuitive set-up makes it even easier to get straight out on the water.
