With a four-part frame concept and a load-bearing engine-gearbox unit, the nineT offers exceptional stability and handling. The upside-down telescopic forks and BMW Motorrad Paralever provide a smooth ride, while the adjustable rebound-stage damping and central spring strut allow for tailored suspension settings.
The nineT’s design is a beautiful blend of classic and modern elements, with clean lines, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail. Its compact tank, striking engine, and slim rear create a striking profile that’s sure to turn heads. As the culmination of nine decades of motorcycle construction, the BMW R nineT is an uncompromising expression of power and purism that will leave even the most discerning riders in awe.
