New BMW S 1000 RR model details, with links to new and used dealer listings and latest BMW deals

CALLENGE YOUR LIMITS

Precisely tuned for performance: the RR. Here, success is measured in millimetres. That’s why the superbike has undergone ongoing development: from the new, more aerodynamic trim panels with winglets, to the front wheel mudguard with M Brake Ducts, right up to performance-oriented details, such as the quick action throttle that reduces the throttle path by 14 degrees. With the Pro riding mode, you will now have a handle on all situations as standard. The goal is, was, and always will be clear: new pole positions – #NeverStopChallenging.

It’s hard to imagine the race track without it – and the RR is also intrinsically linked to it
You can achieve new personal bests with the more aerodynamic front and side trim panels. The new winglets generate up to 50% more downforce on the road: with 5.9 kg at 150 km/h, 10.6 kg at 200 km/h, 16.03 kg at 250 km/h, and a whopping 23.1 kg at 300 km/h. This counteracts the tendency of the front wheel to lift off the road surface when accelerating.

Performance on screen

Off to the pit lane after a few laps around the racetrack: The last screen used is always displayed after you switch the ignition off/on. This helps you concentrate and stay focused on your mode. One Pure Ride screen and three different Core screens are available depending on your preference. The system displays a suitable maximum speed when the engine is cold. The shift light now clearly indicates when the rotational-speed sensor is flashing. Thanks to the clear TFT display, you can quickly view all other settings as well.

Passion is where the heart beats – and boy, does it beat!

Unleashed passion: We put all of our racetrack experience into the high-performance BMW ShiftCam four-cylinder engine of the RR, with 210 hp (154 kW). The M Brake Ducts in the new front mudguard cool the brake calipers when racing, thereby ensuring a higher level of performance and a more consistent resistance point. They have been adopted from the M RR, just like the chain ring and the performance-oriented cylinder heads. The Shift assistant Pro is now included as standard, ensuring high precision when switching gears.

Framework conditions - quite literally

Accuracy to the millimetre for the highest level of precision: The M chassis kit with raised rear end and adjustable swing arm pivot is standard. Frame recesses ensure lateral flexibility. The flat steering head angle and the offset of the fork bridge provide precision at the front wheel. The damping of the DDC in the Road, Dynamic, and Race modes with Race Pro 1 to 3 means that you can ride on country roads with street damping.

Confidence in corners

The riding modes Pro, which are now included as standard, and steering angle sensor enable two new functions: Brake Slide Assist for deceleration and Slide/Slip Control for acceleration. The steering angle sensor measures your drift angle and, in conjunction with the DTC, ensures optimum slip. DTC settings 2 and 3 have been optimised for the racetrack and slicks. Brake Slide Assist helps you master power drifts like these in no time at all: for more dynamic performance around every turn.
