BMW Motorrad Malaysia recently introduced the highly-anticipated BMW M1000RR, the first ever bike to get the “touch” of BMW’s M division.
Made to perform at the highest level, the BMW M1000RR features a chassis that is trimmed for racetrack use with modified geometry, optimised wheel load distribution, and extended adjustability of the swinging arm pivot point.
Highlights
The optimised upside-down fork and revised central spring strut come complete with Full Floater Pro kinematics. The new M winglets and high windscreen also allows better acceleration at low rpm with more stability when cornering, thanks to the aerodynamic downforce without any reduction in maximum speed.
Powering the New BMW M1000RR is a water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine based on the RR power train with BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift, achieving a peak output of 212 hp at 14,500 rpm.
The good stuff
The maximum torque of 113 Nm is applied at 11,000 rpm. In addition to a maximum speed increased to 15,100 rpm, the engine has extensive technical optimisations such as:
- New 2-ring forged pistons from Mahle
- Adapted combustion chambers
- Longer and lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl
- Slimmer and lighter rocker arms
- Fully machined intake ports with new duct geometry
- Optimised camshafts and intake area
- Titanium exhaust system
The New BMW M1000RR is equipped with “Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic”, “Race”, and “Race Pro1-3” riding modes, along with the latest generation of the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and DTC wheelie function with 6-axle sensor box.
Race Pro mode
Two adjustable characteristic throttle curves also offer optimum response characteristics, while the engine brake arrives with threefold adjustable engine drag torque in “Race Pro” mode.
The Shift Assistant Pro, an anti-hopping clutch for optimum Launch Control, the Pit-Lane Limiter, and the Hill Start Control Pro also equip the New BMW M1000RR.
The new model also features an instrument cluster with clearly readable 6.5-inch TFT display and OBD interface that can be used with an activation code for the M GPS data logger and M GPS lap-trigger.
M Goodies
Other notable standard equipment for the New BMW M1000RR includes M brakes – a first for BMW Motorrad, M carbon wheels, M lightweight battery, USB charging socket in the rear, and an anti-theft alarm system.
Arriving in a combination of Light White, Racing Blue Metallic and Racing Red (BMW Motorrad Motorsport for M Package), the New BMW M1000RR can be owned with monthly instalment starting from RM 3,040.00 per month based on balloon financing estimates of an 80% loan on a 4-year tenure.
