2023 BMW M 1000 RR

Features

• RIDE LIKE YOU’RE IN A SLIPSTREAM: The optimized front and side trim panels are made of carbon to help ensure performance and increase the top speed. In addition, the new aerodynamics relieve strain on the rider by reducing the downforce of the wind: for sustained, fast, focused riding. The newly designed M winglets made of carbon, on the other hand, increase the downforce of the front wheel by up to 13.8 lbs – even when leaning. And they provide 49.8 lbs of downforce at 186 mph on the track, giving riders more confidence during extreme tilts and at high cornering speeds.
• TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIND: The M brake ducts and optional M Aero wheel covers were created in collaboration with BMW Motorsport experts. The M brake ducts are directly integrated into the new front-wheel mudguards, which in turn have been optimized for improved airflow around the fork legs and brake calipers. Their first time in use on a series motorcycle, the M brake ducts reduce the temperature of the brake calipers. The M Aero wheel covers, also made of visible carbon, reduce turbulence at the front wheel and unleash your bike’s full potential on long straights at speeds greater than 155 mph on the track.
• WHEN EVERY MILLIMETER COUNTS – INCLUDING IN THE ENGINE: The M RR power train has a maximum rotational speed of 15,100 rpm and has proven itself in the WSBK. A level of performance where every millimeter counts: A few highlights: fully CNC machined intake ports, lightweight 2-ring forged pistons with piston rings optimized for significantly reduced oil consumption, narrow and lightweight rocker arms, titanium valves, optimized camshafts, and Pankl titanium connecting rods that are nearly a combined 12 ounces lighter than the S 1000 RR and delivers reduced friction. In addition, BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift as well as an intake system with shorter intake funnels delivering an optimized charge cycle at high engine speeds. To start you off right for victory, its anti-hopping clutch works with self-reinforcement.
• CLEAR FEEDBACK – NOT JUST FROM THE PIT LANE: The best possible feel for the front and rear wheels and breathtaking, pinpoint accuracy: The heart of the chassis is an aluminum bridge frame, which also includes an upside-down fork and a central spring strut with Full Floater Pro kinematics, meaning improved chassis performance. Consistently and uncompromisingly geared to achieve the best race times, its chassis also impresses those perfectionists taking to the road in search of adrenaline.
• HIGH PERFORMANCE – ALSO A QUESTION OF TUNING: What sets a true winner apart is their ability to apply their potential during those critical milliseconds: The M RR Launch Control gives you the perfect start to the race, and the Pit Lane Limiter knows when to control the power. The shift assistant Pro helps you shift gears fast, without actuating the clutch for every gear change. The gearshift can be simply reversed for racing. In addition, a total of 7 riding modes, two adjustable throttle characteristics, and three setting options for the engine drag torque help you adapt your ride to the track perfectly. The 6.5" TFT display makes everything easy to read.
• UNCOMPROMISING ACCELERATION – BUT THE OTHER WAY: After one year of use in the WSBK and on the racetracks of the world, the following still applies to the M brake: Best in class. Actually, even better. Because the newly developed M brake ducts cool the brake calipers by up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit while racing – depending on the racetrack – for even higher performance and a more constant resistance point. The perfectly coordinated operating element and saddle continues to mean maximum brake stability, clear feedback, and the best adjustment to Race ABS. The M brake is and remains the best reference.
• TWO VERSIONS, ONE GOAL: PURE PERFORMANCE: The M RR is available in two versions: A basic variant, and an M RR with M Competition package. Each M RR is designed with one clear specification: victory. And that is exactly what both variants stand for, with absolute dedication and motivation.
• LINEAR GUIDING – LITERALLY: The front has been aerodynamically optimized and features a visible carbon fairing and M design graphic, showing a will to win down to the last detail. Even the newly designed fairing support is made of carbon. And its newly designed rear makes the M RR even more dynamic. Its license plate carrier with integrated light has also been made even more compact. Thanks to a new wiring harness on the rear turn indicators, the M RR is now ready for the racetrack even quicker.
• HIGH-QUALITY M BILLET PACK: More than just looks: Made of high-strength aluminum and anodized brake/clutch levers, brake lever guard and rider footrest system, which has been scaled down to the essentials.
• POWERFUL M BRAKE: Developed from WorldSBK racing brakes. We could have called them “Best in Class”. But “M brake” is even better.
• OPTIMIZED AERODYNAMICS WITH NEW WINGLETS: This is the only place we tolerate a few extra pounds: The completely newly developed winglets now produce up to 49.8 lbs of downforce depending on speed.
• STRIKING FRONT WITH WINDSCREEN: Higher, faster, further: That’s the goal. Its visible carbon fairing and higher windscreen increases its top speed by almost 5 mph while also ensuring optimal airflow to relieve strain on the rider – for sustained performance.
• LIGHTWEIGHT M CARBON WHEELS WITH GRAPHICS: A superbike for the eyes: Visible carbon with clear coat and graphics in M design. In addition, less weight and rotational mass, maximum stiffness, and optimized acceleration and braking.
• EXCLUSIVE M START-UP ANIMATION: Your personal starting light: Now it's all about concentration and motivation. The M RR is ready.
• WEIGHT-OPTIMIZED FULL TITANIUM EXHAUST SYSTEM: Less is more: Weighing 8 lbs less, its lower mass pays off noticeably in improved handling and increased performance.
• OPTIMIZED SHIFTCAM ENGINE: Tried, tested, celebrated: 205 hp, a maximum engine speed of 15,100 rpm, and the revolutionary BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift – delivering more stroke at low engine speeds.
