The supersports bike first presented in 2009 will now be available in a new edition featuring advanced engine and chassis, optimized aerodynamics with winglets, a new rear end and new assistance systems.
The new RR features a 4-cylinder in-line engine based on the power unit of the current S 1000 RR. Peak power is now 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm (does not apply to US machines), 2 kW (3 hp) more than the previous model. The maximum torque of 113 Nm is generated at 11,000 rpm.
The highlights of the new BMW S 1000 RR:
• Increased output and torque: 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm at 11,000 rpm.
• Shorter secondary gear ratio for more traction at the rear wheel.
• Advanced “Flex Frame” with more flex.
• Chassis geometry with new values for steering head angle, offset, caster and wheelbase.
• M Chassis Kit as standard with adjustable swinging arm pivot point and raised rear end.
• Dynamic Traction Control DTC with new Slide Control function for drifts while accelerating using steering angle sensor.

The new feature of Dynamic Traction Control DTC is the Slide Control function. It allows the rider to select two preset drift angles for the traction control system when accelerating out of bends. The heart of the chassis of the new RR is still the aluminum bridge frame, which is a welded construction of four gravity die-cast elements and integrates the engine, which is inclined forward by 32 degrees as before, as a supporting element.
