Munich. BMW Motorrad is introducing the new S 1000
XR, an enhanced version of the successful long-distance sports bike
and multiple test winner. Increased engine power, improved ergonomics,
design refinements, and expanded standard features define the model's upgrades.
The reworked in-line 4-cylinder engine now delivers even more
impressive performance, with a flow-optimised geometry for the
intake channels and a power output of 125 kW (170
hp).
The new S 1000 XR still shares its in-line
4-cylinder engine with the
S 1000 RR, providing a smooth and
powerful torque delivery and a harmonious power characteristic that
contributes to excellent rideability. Compared to the predecessor
model, the engine power has been increased by 4 kW (5 hp) to now 125
kW (170 hp) at an unchanged nominal engine speed of 11,000 rpm. The
main reasons for the performance increase are a flow-optimised
geometry of the intake channels and a customised mapping. The maximum
torque generated is still 114 Nm at 9,250 rpm.
Improved ergonomics thanks to new seat and even sportier rear
section.
In order to provide even more freedom of
movement, especially during high-performance riding on country roads
and race tracks, the seat of the long-distance sports bike has been
completely redesigned. It now offers an extra 10 mm of seat height
(850 mm) and provides more space for the buttocks by increasing the
usable length and width of the seat, allowing for better adjustment of
the seating position depending on the riding conditions. The improved
ergonomics make it easier for riders to manoeuvre the
S 1000 XR
on the road or on the race track, providing even better control. A
total of three different seat heights are available.
The new S 1000 XR also benefits from redesigned elements in its
design. The rear section now features new side panels and air intakes
inspired by motorsports, giving it a more dynamic look. Additionally,
the radiator trim now has a textured surface, and the previously
black-coloured “beak” fender is now painted in body colour.
Extended range of standard equipment and new optional extras
/ Original BMW Motorrad Accessories.
The new S
1000 XR comes with an expanded standard equipment list. As part of the
standard equipment, Headlight Pro provides additional
safety during night-time rides with its adaptive turning light. The
rider benefits from improved road illumination in corners. The
package also includes Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for better vehicle
recognition during the day. Keyless Ride and a
12 Ah capacity battery are now standard features.
Additionally, the new BMW S 1000 XR is equipped with a USB
charging option as standard.
Other updates include the availability of the E-Call
feature in the USA, the option to equip the S 1000 XR with
the optional M GPS Laptrigger, and the availability
of
M Carbon wheels as a new optional extra or as
Original BMW Motorcycle accessories.
