BMW S 1000XR (2015)

The BMW S 1000 XR embodies the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and everyday usability, redefining the boundaries of adventure sport.

Its 1,000cc straight-four-cylinder engine, derived from the S 1000 R roadster, unleashes 118 kW (160 hp) of power at 11,000 rpm, accompanied by a generous 112 Nm (83 lb-ft) of torque at 9,250 rpm. This potent powerplant provides the ideal balance of pulling power and exhilarating acceleration, making it perfect for both dynamic touring and sporty rides.

But the S 1000 XR is not just about raw power; it’s also about intelligent technology and safety features, including two riding modes and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) as standard, making it an ideal companion for riders who crave the ultimate adventure sport experience.

The result is a motorcycle that combines the best of both worlds, offering riders the freedom to explore the open road with the confidence to tackle even the most challenging terrain, all while enjoying the thrill of the ride.
