The new BMW M 1000 R

Highest demands on both country road and the race track: The new BMW M 1000 R – M R for short – is the second M model from BMW Motorrad to celebrate its world premiere, following the M 1000 RR superbike: The M Roadster. In the anniversary year of the 50th birthday of BMW M GmbH, BMW Motorrad is also adhering to the dynamic philosophy of the most powerful letter in the world with the new M R.

5 POWERFUL FACTS:

Powerful M R 4-cylinder based on the RR engine
Max. output 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm
0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds
M winglets and M brakes
Optional M Competition package

199 kilogram is the DIN empty weight of the M 1000 R – ready to ride and fully fuelled.

MORE POWER, MORE RIDING PLEASURE.

MORE POWER, MORE RIDING PLEASURE.

The new M R uses a modified, water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine based on the power unit of the S 1000 RR. Its peak power output is 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm, 33 kW (45 hp) more than in the S 1000 R. The maximum torque of 113 Nm is reached at 11,000 rpm. The maximum speed of the M R is 14,600 rpm. Increased rear wheel traction in all gears is also provided by a shorter secondary gear ratio due to the use of a sprocket with now 47 teeth (the S 1000 R has 45 teeth). In addition, the gear ratios of the fourth, fifth and sixth gears are shorter, which also benefits the rear wheel traction.

In addition to drive and suspension technology, aerodynamics was also a key item in the specifications for developing the M R. The new M R was given winglets in the area of the front side panels with the aim of achieving even faster lap times on the racetrack and the best possible riding stability at high speeds, Already at a speed of 160 km/h, they provide an increase in front wheel load of 11 kg at 220 km/h thanks to the aerodynamic downforce generated.

After the M 1000 RR, the new M R is the second BMW motorcycle to feature an M brake. It was developed directly using the experience gained with the racing brakes on BMW Motorrad factory racing machines in the Superbike World Championship. Together with two 320 mm brake discs of 5 mm thickness and black anodised aluminium brake disc carriers, the brake system equipped with a new radial hand brake pump currently marks the pinnacle of brake development in the field of road-legal systems. The new M R is already equipped with very lightweight forged aluminium wheels as standard.

The proportions of the M R are ultra-compact and powerful, and the three-dimensionally designed surfaces are both exciting and dynamic. Slim, slender and extremely aggressive, the M R looks extremely distinctive from the front with its new M winglets. In addition, the signature light makes the new M R clearly recognisable as a BMW from the front - analogous to the kidney grille on BMW M automobiles. The performance-oriented look of the new M R is also reflected in its colour concept. Lightwhite non-metallic / M Motorsport makes the basic variant of the M R look particularly light, sporty and rider-friendly, while the Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport colour scheme included in the M Competition package stands for sheer power and dynamism.
