Munich. Since its start of production in 2009, the
BMW S 1000 RR has been synonymous with the highest level of riding
dynamics among superbikes - both on the road and on the race track.
Thanks to constant and above all consistent further development, it
has been able to defend its leading role in this segment to this day -
in its third edition since 2019.
With the M Performance Parts accessories range, BMW Motorrad is
now going one step further by offering a carefully matched range of
special parts for the new BMW S 1000 RR similar to the offer available
for BMW M automobiles. These components have been developed based on
the brand’s extensive racing experience - with the aim of further
enhancing the driving dynamics of the new S 1000 RR not only for road
use, but especially on the race track. Accordingly, the M Performance
Parts accessories range includes not only parts for reducing bike
weight but also a number of specialised functional parts.
Particularly light and robust carbon fibre parts are available
for the body and fairing areas: M Carbon airbox cover, M Carbon chain
guard in conjunction with M Carbon rear wheel cover, M Carbon front
wheel cover, M Carbon sprocket cover, M Carbon fuel tank cover
left/right, M Carbon fairing side panel top left/top right. The new S
1000 RR can also be perfectly ergonomically adapted to the size of the
rider thanks to three different seat variants - M sports seat, M seat
high, M seat low.
The M Performance Parts range also includes different footrest
versions. The standard footrest system of the S 1000 RR can be
upgraded with the M rider's footrests left/right and the M passenger
footrests left/right. An M rider's footrest system left/right,
especially designed for racetrack use, also offers further ergonomic
adjustment options.
Extensive racing experience was also applied to the adjustable
and folding M handbrake lever. For racetrack use, the M remote
adjuster for the front brake also allows the rider to adjust the lever
travel while riding from the left-hand end of the handlebars. On the
left-hand side of the handlebars the folding M clutch lever is the
corresponding counterpart to the handbrake lever. The M handbrake
lever protector and the M clutch lever protector are available for
both levers. In addition, the standard handlebar version of the S 1000
RR can be replaced with the M fork clamp for stub handlebars
left/right for making individual ergonomic adjustments.
Two different M Performance wheel sets optimise acceleration,
deceleration, handling as well as suspension and damping response.
While the M forged wheel made of high-strength forged aluminium
already offers advantages in this respect both at the front and at the
rear, the M Carbon front wheel and M Carbon rear wheel made of
lightweight carbon fibre almost perfectly exploit every possibility
for reducing unsprung and rotational masses. The parts range for the
wheels also features the M axle protectors.
M Performance Parts also include further lightweight components
such as the M chain tensioner and the M lightweight battery. The new
range for the S 1000 RR is rounded off by the mounting stand adapter
set and the M cover kit.
