The dynamic design of the new RR is supported by
three attractive colour options - Black Storm Metallic, Bluestone metallic
(with Style sport) and Light White solid / M Motorsport (with M Package).
Riders can further customise with two optional
packages – Dynamic and M. The Dynamic package sharpens the RR’s racing
qualities for added performance and comfort. The package includes: DDC
electronic chassis, which is exclusive to use in motorsports here, for optimum
damping and optimum road contact in every riding situation, additionally
Electronic cruise control and heated grips are also included. The M package
sharpens the sporty profile of the RR. Exclusive Light white/M Motorsport
paintwork is only included in this package and gives the motorcycle a powerful
look. The package includes: M Sport seat for optimum support on the hunt for
crucial milliseconds. Weight-optimised M Carbon wheels with M Tapes for maximum
riding dynamics. In addition, the M footrest system and the black fuel filler
cap.
To enable customers to own BMW Motorrad motorcycles
of their choice, BMW Financial Services India offers flexible and hassle-free
finance solutions. What’s more, it goes beyond just motorcycles – with
accessories financing, ensuring that you're fully equipped for all your riding
experiences. For complete peace of mind, all BMW Motorrad bikes come with a
standard warranty for ‘three years, unlimited kilometers’, with an option to
extend the warranty to fourth and fifth year. Road-Side Assistance, a 24x7 365
days package further ensures prompt services in case of breakdown and towing
situations.
The new BMW S 1000 RR
The design of the new BMW S 1000 RR impresses with its
extremely compact layout and super-sporty appeal that creates perfect harmony
for the road and racetrack. The high windscreen, side winglets and
partitioning of the lower triple clamp further optimise aerodynamics and help
in maintaining the top speed. The winglets on the front fairing of the new RR
now produce significantly more aerodynamic downforce – both in an upright riding
position and when leaning. At 300 km/h, the downforce has been increased from
the previous 17.1 kg to now 23.1 kg. The positive effects include greater rider
confidence in the front wheel for even larger lean angles or higher cornering
speeds at the same lean angle, as well as reduced wheelie tendency.
Another key point in optimizing aerodynamics is the
area around the front wheel. The new RR features brake cooling ducts – known as
Brake Ducts – in this area. These are integrated into the new front wheel
fender, which has been optimized for improved airflow around the fork legs and
brake calipers. They reduce the brake temperature during track use, thereby
enhancing performance and providing more consistent brake pressure. The new RR
also features asymmetrical design side panels made of plastic, similar to the
engine spoiler – inspired by the first-generation RR. While the left side is
characterized by a large exit opening for heat dissipation, the right side
features a dynamic and distinctive gill design.
The new BMW S 1000 RR features the potent
inline-four engine with BMW ShiftCam Technology. The 999cc
generates 210 hp at 13,750 rpm to ensure powerful propulsion. The maximum
engine speed is 14,600 rpm. The airbox, as on the M RR, features variable intake
funnels that optimise charge change and power generation, especially at high
engine speeds.
The 6-speed gearbox allows ease of
engagement, no slippage and precise shifts. The race tuned anti-hopping clutch
with self-reinforcement reduces engine braking and significantly increases
safety - especially during braking manoeuvres with simultaneous downshifts.
Gear Shift Assistant Pro enables upshifting without clutch actuation and offers
perfect acceleration without interrupting traction. It has improved to
implement shift request via a torque model and thus enables shifts in all
operating ranges.
The heart of the chassis is still
the aluminium bridge frame which has received several apertures in the side
sections optimising flexibility laterally. One-piece rear swinging arm with
underslung sections and the rear wheel is easier to remove and install. The
suspension strut is now height-adjustable for custom adjustments. The
adjustability of the swinging arm pivot point and the height of the rear end is
due to the use of the M Chassis Kit.
The suspension geometry not only
improves riding precision, but also increases target accuracy and provides
clearer feedback from the front wheel. The bike can be equipped with
electronically controlled Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) to
adjust damping to Road, Dynamic, Race, For Race Pro 1-3.
The new M short-stroke throttle ensures
relaxed throttle control and perfect handling without the need to reposition
the hand or twist the wrist. The rotation angle is now 58 degrees instead of
the previous 72 degrees. This provides a significant advantage, especially in
track use, while maintaining excellent throttle modulation thanks to the
corresponding application of the engine management system to the changed
rotation angle.
The new RR distinguishes between two riding
mode worlds: for the road and for the track. Apart from the four
standard riding modes "Rain," "Road," "Dynamic,"
and "Race", the new BMW S 1000 RR now also includes "Pro Riding
Modes" with the additional riding modes "Race Pro 1," "Race
Pro 2," and "Race Pro 3" as standard. The "Pro Riding
Modes" offers the "Engine Brake" function in the "Race
Pro" modes with three levels of adjustability for engine drag torque
during deceleration. Another component of "Pro Riding Modes" is the
Hill Start Control Pro function. It goes beyond the features of the comfort
system Hill Start Control and offers the additional Auto HSC function. In the
"Race Pro" riding modes, the ABS function is adjustable in five
levels, and the ABS Pro function is correspondingly linked to it. Additionally,
the ABS Pro Setting "Slick" accommodates the use of treadless slick
tires. For the perfect race starts, riders can activate Launch Control by
pressing the start button for more than three seconds during standstill. Pit
Lane Limiter enables speed limiting when passing through the pit lane. Hill
Start Control Pro facilitates starting on gradients.
The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) features
four fixed basic settings for the respective riding modes "Rain,"
"Road," "Dynamic," and "Race." In the "Race
Pro" riding modes, fine-tuning (+/- shift) is also available. With
"Pro Riding Modes," the DTC Wheelie function is also adjustable. It
allows the suppression or limitation of wheelies via front wheel lift
detection, aiming for maximum acceleration. As another component of "Pro
Riding Modes," the Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) supports
the rider during braking maneuvers. DBC offers more safety when braking, even
in difficult situations, by preventing unintentional throttle activation.
M Brakes are offered as
standard on the new BMW S 1000 RR. The supremely effective ABS Pro with
new Brake Slide Assist and ABS Pro ‘Slick’ setting functions ensure
perfect braking. As in the predecessor model, the upside-down fork with a slide
tube diameter of 45 mm offers a high degree of brake stability as well as a
stable response.
This generation boasts multiple innovations
in Coloured 6.5 inch TFT Screen and electrical
/ electronic system. The new instrument cluster has an optimised display of
the rev counter. It has a dashed area and a solid red area controlled by the
engine control unit. As a new comfort function, the last selected screen
appears on start. Pure Ride screen provides all necessary
information for normal operation on road, while the three Core screen displays
- CORE Screen 1, CORE Screen 2 and CORE Screen 3 -are designed for the
racetrack. CORE Screen 1 focus is on the round rotational-speed
sensor, lean angle sensor, DTC and brake secondary indicator. CORE Screen
2 focus is on the round rotational-speed sensor and lap timer including
best lap. CORE Screen 3 focus is on bar rotational-speed sensor with
lean angle display and lap timer including best lap.
Standard equipment has been expanded to include the
lighter M battery and USB charging socket.
