Diamond Atelier’s latest creation looks like a rendering brought to life. Unveiled at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the DA#22 ULTRON is a running, road-legal prototype built around the 1,301cc LC8 V-twin from the KTM 1290 Super Duke. Extensively tuned for the project, the engine produces more than 205 hp.

Its hand-shaped aluminum bodywork reportedly required more than 800 hours to complete. Rather than visually separating the fuel tank, fairing, and tail, Diamond Atelier shaped the panels into a continuous metallic form. A voltage-activated electroluminescent coating allows the body itself to glow, avoiding the appearance of conventional LED strips.

The chassis receives similarly specialized hardware. A Wilbers Type 46 RR fork and project-specific rear shock manage the suspension, while a 3D-printed titanium exhaust gives the V-twin a compact, suitably exotic outlet. Diamond Atelier also set a real diamond into the upper triple clamp—a literal signature detail that remains secondary to the engineering.

DA#22 is currently a one-off prototype, but the Munich workshop says it establishes the foundation for an ultra-limited series. Pricing, production numbers, and timing remain undisclosed.

For now, ULTRON works best as a statement of intent: superbike performance, coachbuilt metalwork, and experimental materials combined in a machine engineered to be ridden rather than displayed.
