The new BMW M 1000 RR, BMW S 1000 RR, BMW M 1000 R, and BMW S
1000 R: The superbikes and hyper naked bikes are set to enter the
upcoming season with even more dynamism.
Both the
superbikes M 1000 RR and S 1000 RR, as well as the emotional hyper
naked bikes M 1000 R and S 1000 R, have been technically and visually
updated and come with expanded standard features for the upcoming
motorcycle season. Common changes include the Euro 5+ homologation of
the engines and the inclusion of the M short-stroke throttle with a
reduced rotation angle.
BMW M 1000 RR: Drastically Increased Performance through More Power, Enhanced Downforce, and Steering Angle Sensor Technology.
The new M 1000 RR – abbreviated as M RR – benefits from a significant power increase of the inline-four engine by 4 kW (6 hp) to 160 kW (218 hp) thanks to an extensive package of measures.
Additionally, it features optimised aerodynamics through a newly designed front fairing. The newly constructed M Winglets 3.0, with drastically increased downforce, support even faster lap times on the racetrack. Furthermore, the Flex Frame has been further developed and now includes a new engine mount on the left side.
BMW Motorrad has also made improvements to the control systems. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) now features the new Slide Control function thanks to steering angle sensor technology. This has resulted in a new subdivision of the DTC into Slip Control and Slide Control. The introduction of steering angle sensor technology has also led to the new Brake Slide Assist function of the BMW Race ABS Pro. Combined with the M short-stroke throttle, this results in significantly increased performance and control.
As before, the new M RR is offered in two versions: the M 1000 RR
base variant in the primary colour Lightwhite uni and the
M 1000
RR M Competition in the primary colour Blackstorm metallic, each
combined with graphics in M colors.
BMW S 1000 RR: Even higher track performance and significantly
enhanced standard features.
The S 1000 RR –
abbreviated as Double-R – has been significantly refined, especially
for track use. The M short-stroke throttle allows the S 1000 RR to
respond even more directly to every command at the throttle, new
winglets provide increased downforce, a new front wheel cover with
integrated brake ducts improves brake cooling, and new fairing side
panels offer a more striking design.
Additionally, the standard features of the Double-R have been significantly enhanced. The Pro riding modes are now standard, including additional "Race Pro" modes, two more combinations of throttle response and engine torque, as well as the Engine Brake and Hill Start Control Pro functions, five-level adjustable ABS in the "Race Pro" modes, and the ABS setting "Slick." The Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is also a new standard feature.
The new S 1000 RR is offered in three attractive colour schemes: the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluestone metallic with matte graphic applications, and the M Motorsport variant in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport in combination with the M package.
BMW M 1000 R: Refinement for the M Hyper Naked
Bike.
For the upcoming season, the M 1000 R –
abbreviated as M R – has received a more dynamic design with the new
dual-flow LED headlight derived from the RR models and the M logo in
the air intake between the headlights.
The new M 1000 R is available as a base variant in the color scheme Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport and in the new colour White Aluminium metallic matt. In the M Competition equipment variant, this paint is also available alongside the colour scheme Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport.
In all colour schemes, the rear frame and swingarm of the new model year are in Platinum Grey metallic. The winglets are finished in black textured paint, and the covers for the clutch and generator are also coated in black.
The traction control DTC has also been revised. The control strategy has been derived from the RR models and, in combination with the M short-stroke throttle, brings a noticeable improvement, especially in Race mode for track days.
An expanded range of Original BMW Motorrad accessories and special equipment completes the scope of changes.
BMW S 1000 R: Hyper Naked Bike with increased power and
enhanced standard features.
The hyper naked bike S
1000 R – abbreviated as Single-R – now starts with an even more
powerful inline-four engine, offering 125 kW (170 hp). A shorter final
drive ratio enhances sprint performance. The optimised standard Shift
Assistant Pro supports even smoother gear changes. Combined with the
new M short-stroke throttle, this results in a significantly more
dynamic setup and noticeably better acceleration in all situations.
Additionally, the traction control DTC of the S 1000 R benefits from
the revisions made to the DTC from the M 1000 R, further enhancing its performance.
The new Single-R also receives the new dual-flow LED headlight derived from the RR models, providing a more striking appearance. The expanded standard features of the S 1000 R include the engine drag torque control (MSR) with configurable "Engine Brake," a short license plate holder and a USB-C charging socket under the seat.
The new Single-R is offered in three attractive colour schemes: the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow, and in combination with the M package in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport.
