BMW R 1250 RS: new thrust from the advanced Boxer with ShiftCam technology [PHOTO]

An expressive dynamic strengthened for the renewed one BMW R 1250 RS, driven by a new Boxer with sophisticated technology linked to variable valve timing and lifting on the intake side.

The quality characteristics

Greater technological contents characterize the renewed one Sports Tourer German, equipped as standard with a departure assistance system Hill Start Control, Connectivity solution combined with a screen TFT da 6,5 inches in color, therefore multi-controller BMW Motorrad, optical groups LED Headlight PRO with optional LED Daytime Running Light, stability control ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and dual driving modes Rain e Road, as reported.

Engine values Boxer signed BMW most powerful ever made in series, as reported. The new configuration of the camshafts for the intake phase is interesting, obtaining an asynchronous opening of the intake valves, from which a vortex of incoming mixture derives, optimizing combustion. Furthermore, the action of the camshafts now takes place via a toothed chain and further interventions regarding fuel supply and exhaust are also mentioned, always referring to the indications.
