The CR&S “DUU” (*) is a “concept bike” which will be unveiled November 10/15 at the Milano Int. Bike Show – EICMA.

It will be a naked, twin seater, premium motorcycle with a modular layout. Two Western Motorcycle Cultures will be synthesized inside the “DUU”: a sportyEuropean rolling chassis powered by a muscular American big-twin.
The DUU will provide intuitive and fun riding, with a technological approach plus styling innovation.

The CR&S DUU is equipped with the new S&S “X-Wedge” engine (*), with a capacity of 1916cc (117c.i.).

Last year S&S celebrated its 50th Anniversary (**) by creating this unique engine as a synthesis of its experience and technology. The X-Wedge is a new engine in the American tradition of big twins, which meets the latest emission and noise standards, but with a special character and high performance.

(**) S&S, a leader in the manufacture of special tuning parts for American “V” twins, produces a full range of road and competition engines. S&S engines hold numerous motorcycle drag racing titles and land speed records.

CR&S introduced the concept of a “tailor-made motorcycle” by its first model, the “VUN”.

Beginning with the standard version, each customer chooses his motorcycle through a wide range of technical and aesthetic options.

The DUU extends this concept, now synonymous with the CR&S brand. In addition to technical and aesthetic options, the DUU allows different configurations. The CR&S DUU begins with a single or two-seater base module, which provides the main needs of the rider while offering countless configuration options, without affecting functionality or the aesthetic form.

Just like the VUN, the DUU is a real CR&S: a motorcycle made for “bikers” by “bikers”.

An innovative motorcycle, “modular and muscular”, built from high quality, durable materials and best components, with a powerful, rugged and reliable engine.

This is the desire of the “mature” motorcyclist, who demands certainty, continuity and top-value in terms of design and technology.
Be prepared to indulge your passion for exclusivity and value for money.

The DUU, a motorcycle to satisfy a sophisticated and intuitive market of enthusiasts who are aware of things that meet their needs and are made to last.
The DUU, never neglecting the vital aspects of a “premium” motorcycle: emotion and character.
CR&S expects to deliver the first DUU in Europe by 2011. Target price, for the base model, is € 20,000.00 on the road, with a production volume of a few dozen units per year.
