BMW S 1000XR (2016)

The BMW S 1000 XR redefines the boundaries of adventure sport motorcycles, blending dynamic touring qualities, sporty performance, and high levels of comfort in a single, highly desirable package.

At its heart lies a powerful straight-four-cylinder engine, born from the S 1000 R roadster, which unleashes 118 kW (160 hp) at 11,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) at 9,250 rpm.

This potent power unit delivers punchy response at low and medium revs, making it ideal for country roads, passenger-carrying duties, and spirited touring. With a wide usable rev range spanning over 10,000 rpm, the S 1000 XR is equally at home on winding roads as it is on long-distance tours.

Standard features include two riding modes and ASC, with the option to upgrade to Pro riding modes, including Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and ABS Pro, allowing riders to adapt their machine to the prevailing road conditions with unparalleled precision.

The result is an exceptional riding experience that is both exhilarating and accessible, making the BMW S 1000 XR the ultimate adventure sport motorcycle for the modern rider.
