Unleashing Pure Performance I The BMW M 1000 XR

November 29, 2023
Introducing the BMW M 1000 XR  long distance sports bike engineered to surpass the highest expectations from dynamic rides on country roads to extended touring and thrilling racing experiences. As the third addition to BMW Motorrad's M model range, following the M 1000 RR superbike and the dynamic M 1000 R roadster the M 1000 XR brings the iconic M philosophy to the realm of versatile sports bikes.
 
The heart of the M 1000 XR is its potent 4 cylinder engine and boasting output of 148 kW (201 hp) and peak torque of 113 Nm. Derived from the S 1000 RR, this powerplant is tuned for maximum riding pleasure, with shorter gear ratios and shorter secondary gear ratio for heightened thrust and traction on both country roads and race tracks.
 
A key focus in the M 1000 XR development was aerodynamics. The addition of winglets enhances lap times on the race track and ensures optimal riding stability at high speeds. These winglets generate aerodynamic downforce, increasing front wheel load by approximately 12 kg at 220 km/h. The result is improved braking, reduced wheelies, and earlier acceleration.
 
Built on the foundation of the S 1000 XR, the M 1000 XR's chassis is meticulously designed for high-performance riding. Equipped with Dynamic Damping Control , adjustable spring base, and an adjustable steering damper, the suspension ensures precision on country roads and race tracks. The front-oriented tubular handlebar with laser-etched "BMW M XR" lettering adds a touch of exclusivity.
 
For the first time on long distance sports bike from BMW Motorrad, the M 1000 XR features M brakes developed from racing experience. The M brake callipers, with blue anodized coating and the iconic M logo, deliver maximum braking performance. The Brake Slide Assist function enhances control during brake drifting, especially beneficial for track enthusiasts.
 
The M 1000 XR is equipped with advanced features, including a 6.5-inch TFT display, Shift Assistant Pro for seamless gear shifts, Launch Control for perfect race starts, and a Pit Lane Limiter for precise speed control in the pit lane. The M Competition Package, featuring M Carbon wheels, M Carbon parts, and more, caters to enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of racing technology.
 
The M XR's design is a testament to its uncompromising sportiness. With ultra-compact proportions, dynamic lines, and M winglets, the M 1000 XR is a visual masterpiece. The colour scheme of Black combined with M colours Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Red adds a bold and aggressive touch to its appearance.
 
In its standard form or with the M Competition Package, the BMW M 1000 XR represents the epitome of roadster performance. Whether cruising on country roads, embarking on long-distance journeys, or pushing limits on the race track, the M 1000 XR is a thrilling manifestation of power, precision, and pure riding pleasure.
