Drive the M 1000 XR The inline four-cylinder engine from the super sports car is used BMW S 1000RR With BMW ShiftCam technology for valve timing and valve lift. The output exceeds the claimed 147 kW (200 hp) and the total vehicle weight is only 223 kg, which can be further reduced and even more driving dynamics can be achieved with the M Competition package, which is available as an ex-business option. The top speed of the M 1000 XR prototype is around 280 km/h.
Among the equipment, the aerodynamic wings stand out, designed to provide greater stability and reduce the tendency to wheelie by eliminating the aerodynamic load. Thanks to this, the traction control system has to adjust less, more drive force is converted into acceleration and the driver achieves a faster lap time. The seating position specially oriented towards the front wheel ensures better control of the bike, especially in super sport mode.
Like the M 1000 RR and M 1000 R, the new M 1000 XR is equipped with m brake system, They were developed directly using the experience gained from the braking systems used by BMW Motorrad in the World Superbike Championship. M brake calipers feature a blue anodized finish with the M logo.
