Munich. Today, BMW Motorrad and the LEGO Group reveal
the LEGO® Technic BMW M 1000 RR, or the M RR for short, which is set
to go on sale on 1 January 2022. This intricate set brings the
supreme racing technology of the 156 kW (212 hp) superbike, which is
designed to meet the highest performance demands in motorsport and
road use, to people’s living rooms.
The record number of 1,920 individual pieces and the impressive
1:5 scale provide an indication that the 45.5 cm long LEGO Technic
BMW M 1000 RR is a model motorcycle in a class of its own. As well as
meticulous attention to technical details, the model version of the M
RR offers a number of features that are sure to appeal to model
building and motorcycle enthusiasts alike.
These include fully functional components such as the
three-speed gearbox, the upside-down fork and the rear swingarm with
suspension, as well as the dashboard with three different display
options and the gold-coloured drive chain. The included paddock stand
and pit board also provide authentic racing flair.
Ralf Rodepeter, Head of Marketing and Product Management at BMW
Motorrad: “When the management of BMW Motorrad announced the first M
model on two wheels, the BMW M 1000 RR, everyone knew that it would be
something special. In the same way, the LEGO Technic team realised
they needed to come up with something unprecedented to pay tribute to
the M RR. The result is a motorcycle and a technical model that each
represent the state of the art in their respective fields.”
The LEGO Technic BMW M 1000 RR sees BMW Motorrad and LEGO
continue their successful partnership and offers fans the opportunity
to build the first model M motorcycle of BMW Motorrad that, like its
real-life counterpart, stands for technical excellence and attention
to detail.
Samuel Tacchi, designer at the LEGO Group commented: “It’s been
so much fun getting underneath the skin of such a significant model
for BMW Motorrad. There’s a reason why these beautifully
engineered bikes are so universally loved by the biking community, and
we are confident our LEGO Technic version is a winner like its
real-life namesake.”
