The BMW S 1000RR has evolved into a superior machine, boasting a plethora of refinements that elevate its already impressive performance capabilities. The engine’s rev-happy nature remains unchanged, delivering 193 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, but the optimised torque curve ensures a more manageable rideability.
A multitude of updates, including revised steering geometry and a new mechanical steering damper, contribute to the S 1000RR’s exceptional handling and agility. The revised fork and optimised power curves further enhance the riding experience, allowing for a more sensitive response and punchier power buildup.
Like its predecessor, the new S 1000RR embodies the perfect blend of sporting character and everyday practicality, making it an ideal choice for both track-day enthusiasts and road riders. Its advanced safety features, including the BMW Motorrad Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control, provide unparalleled confidence and control.
