The BMW HP4 RACE is the culmination of innovation, pioneering technology, and class-leading performance, embodying the brand’s reputation for excellence. Its full carbon fibre frame is a marvel of engineering, keeping the weight as low as possible at just 171 kg / 377 lbs when fully fueled.
The 215HP@ 13900 rpm engine is a beast, rivaling the power of current superbike factory racing machines, and delivering a whopping 120 Nm / 88.5 lb-ft of torque at 10000 rpm. The bike’s handling is further enhanced by its Brembo GP4 PR monoblock brake calipers and the same high-performance suspension components used in the World Superbike and MotoGP racing series.
But the HP4 RACE is more than just a sum of its parts – it’s a masterpiece of engineering, a testament to the passion and dedication of the team that crafted it. With only 750 limited-edition units available, this bike is a rare opportunity for true enthusiasts to experience the ultimate in purebred racing performance.
