BMW Motorrad has announced a new model of the super sports bike “S1000RR.” Prices range from 2,688,000 to 3,542,000 yen (tax included).
Tuning even the sound
With this latest improvement, BMW has positioned the S1000SS as “the ultimate superbike that combines technological innovation, sophisticated design, and overwhelming riding performance.”
Significant improvements have been made in all areas, including the engine, chassis, electronic control system, and aerodynamic performance, aiming to provide riders with even more dynamic riding and safety than ever before.
The new model is equipped with a 999cc inline 4-cylinder engine that has been optimized in terms of both power output and torque. The latest engine control technology has been adopted to achieve consistently powerful acceleration from low to high speed ranges. Not only has power output been improved compared to the previous model, but the engine’s internal weight has also been reduced and combustion efficiency has been improved, contributing to better fuel economy and a reduced environmental impact.
In addition, the emotional sound is an important element in conveying the exhilarating feeling of riding to the rider, further highlighting its presence as a sports bike.
The chassis has been redesigned based on a new design concept, improving body rigidity and reducing weight, dramatically improving stability during sudden braking and high-speed cornering, and directly transmitting the rider’s intended delicate maneuverability.
In addition, special aero parts have been incorporated to increase downforce when driving straight, resulting in stable straight-line running and improved grip at high speeds, resulting in a design that demonstrates driving performance that surpasses conventional models.
Electronic control for safe circuit driving
The latest generation riding mode selector is at the heart of the electronic control system. Each mode combines engine management, traction control, ABS, dynamic brake control, etc. to automatically achieve the optimal balance according to the riding environment and the rider’s preferences.
Using advanced sensor technology and real-time information processing, this system responds instantly to the rider’s operations, making a significant contribution to achieving both safety and performance while riding.
In terms of design, sharp and aggressive lines give the entire vehicle a sense of dynamism, and the newly designed front fairing further improves aerodynamic performance.
The layout of the LED lights and the digital meter cluster have also been thoroughly reviewed to improve visibility and operability, providing the rider with an intuitive operating environment.
The ergonomic seat design and riding position make it less tiring to ride for long periods of time, and it can be used in a wide range of situations, from everyday use to intense racing on the circuit.
The new S1000RR aims to deliver the highest performance not only for racers and sports riders, but also for everyday riding on public roads. It is the culmination of BMW’s motorsports knowledge and technological innovations cultivated over many years, and is set to set a new standard in the superbike market as a bike that offers an unprecedented riding experience.
