More wing for BMW M 1000 RR
BMW is throwing some more coals on the fire with its superbikes M 1000 RR and S 1000 RR, as well as the roadsters M 1000 R and S 1000 R. All also meet the new Euro 5+ homologation. And you won’t have to turn your right hand as far thanks to the arrival of an M throttle with a shorter stroke.
BMW M 1000 RR
The king of BMW superbikes, M 1000 RR, gets bigger winglets. With a little imagination, you can see the head of a hammerhead shark. The winglets cut the driving wind to more downforce. Something that should lead to advantage especially in track use. Because the speeds at which the winglets are effective are not allowed on public roads penalty-free.
Power to 218 hp
The M 1000 RR also gets 4 kW (6 hp) more power, bringing the maximum to 160 kW (218 hp). The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) now offers a Slide Control function thanks to steering angle sensor technology. This also enables the new Brake Slide Assist function of the BMW Race ABS Pro.
BMW S 1000 RR
The S 1000 RR also gets new winglets, and again they provide more downforce. A new front fender with integrated brake lines improves brake cooling, and new fairing side panels offer a more striking design. Standard offerings now include additional “Race Pro” riding modes. You get two additional combinations for throttle response and engine torque, as well as customizable Engine Brake and Hill Start Control Pro. A five-level adjustable ABS in the ‘Race Pro’ modes and the ‘Slick’ ABS setting are also included. In addition, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) has been added to the list of standard features.
BMW M 1000 R and S 1000 R
The M 1000 R gets dual-flow LED headlights, derived from the RR models, and the M logo in the air intake between the headlights. The DTC traction control has also been revised to offer the same level of intervention as on RR models. Combined with the short-stroke M throttle, BMW says this provides a noticeable improvement, especially in Race mode for track days. The S 1000 R gets 5 hp more power, giving the four-in-line engine 125 kW (170 hp). Along with a shorter final drive ratio, this improves sprint performance.
