Built for the free road, the BMW S 1000 RR is 204 kilogrammes of pure motorbike muscle with a 199hp output and has been ‘completely revised’ for 2015.
According to its designers, not all of what is new in the third generation Double R is instantly visible – many of the innovative details are concealed beneath its trim.
A key focus was the design: the flyline is razor-sharp and extremely clear, the volume of the contours and shapes perfectly balanced. Each and every trim component has been redesigned from the rear to the front.
The headlamp element is more balanced in effect than in the previous model. The asymmetry of the split face has been reduced and the lamp positions modified. The entire section is lighter, clearer and more dynamic.
The new engine spoiler is longer, thereby emphasising the dynamic lines of the design as a whole. This also applies to the new windshield and the new rear section.
The new engine now delivers an impressive 199hp – 6hp more than in the previous model. Torque has been increased by 2-5Nm and the output curve improved from 4,500 rpm. The throttle valves are electronically controlled using the new electromotive throttle actuator technology.
The new rear silencer with dual flow results in increased torque within the lower engine speed range as well as an improvement in the charge cycle. This also reduces exhaust gas back pressure for increased power. All in all the new exhaust system without front silencer reduces the bike’s weight by three kilos.
