— A desert-born adventurer, reborn in the name of Lawrence.
A journey tracing the footsteps carved into the sands of the Nefud.
Flowing lines sculpted like wind-shaped dunes, a color palette evoking the shifting desert light, and a harmonious union of classical elegance with cutting-edge engineering — this is the *Lawrence Nefud*.
Inspired by the trails once carved across the Arabian wilderness by the legendary officer T.E. Lawrence, this model summons both the spirit of exploration and the landscapes that defined his odyssey.
While it inherits the refined and timeless character of the base model — the Brough Superior *Lawrence*, a true classical roadster — the Nefud advances that lineage into a more assertive and adventurous dimension.
It stands equipped with block-pattern off-road tires, a skid plate built for unforgiving terrain, a headlight guard, and a striking twin high-mount exhaust system.
Its silhouette conveys both elegance and strength — a luxurious scrambler created for those who challenge the unknown horizon.
With every revolution of its wheels, the machine radiates a commanding presence, echoing the bold spirit of those who dare to cross the desert winds.
A mesmerizing gradient of ochre, as though it were a fragment of the Nefud Desert itself — this commanding palette defines the *Lawrence Nefud*, a true homage to the spirit of exploration.
While inheriting the refined elegance of its base model, the Lawrence, the Nefud embraces a more untamed horizon with an array of equipment crafted for the wild.
Twin high-mounted exhausts that defy the rising dust.
A matte-finished skid plate and headlight guard, built to confront the elements without hesitation.
Every detail speaks with the presence of a machine born for traversal, its design language resonating with strength and purpose.
No compromises are made in structural materials: lightweight yet immensely rigid carbon composites, meticulously CNC-machined aluminum components, and titanium alloys drawn from aerospace engineering — all converge to form a chassis worthy of its name.
The distinctive Fior-type suspension remains at the core of its handling philosophy, delivering exceptional contact feel and lightning-quick response.
In every aspect, the Nefud stands as an adventure machine conceived to reveal its true nature even in the harshest landscapes.
At its heart resides a 997cc V-twin engine — sharing its lineage with the legendary S.S.100 and the Pendine, yet uniquely retuned for the Nefud. It offers the serenity of gliding across desert sands, alongside the roaring force that awakens the moment the throttle is opened. With 102 bhp and 87 Nm of torque, it possesses both the grace required on everyday tarmac and the resolute strength needed to conquer the extraordinary terrains beyond. The ability to traverse deserts while delivering a refined road-going ride — a dual nature seemingly paradoxical, yet perfectly achieved — stands as undeniable proof that the *Brough Superior Lawrence Nefud* is, indeed, a singular creation without equal.
Bearing the spirit of Thomas Edward Lawrence — *Lawrence of Arabia*, the legendary British Army officer —
the *Lawrence Nefud* emerges as a machine named after the very desert he is said to have crossed.
The refined dignity and historical gravity of the base Lawrence model remain intact,
yet the Nefud introduces a wilder, more untamed character, acquiring formidable capability across unforgiving terrain.
It stands as a luxury scrambler born from the union of two forces:
reverence for the Brough Superior machines that Lawrence adored, and an invitation issued to the modern adventurer.
Every unit is handcrafted at the Brough Superior factory in Toulouse, France —
where skilled artisans dedicate time, precision, and devotion to assemble each motorcycle with bespoke attention.
No detail is overlooked.
The result is a machine in which rarity, engineering, and sculptural beauty converge quietly into a single narrative.
The Lawrence Nefud is a motorcycle that binds past and present, dream and reality —
transforming this very moment into a journey to be carried for a lifetime.
