BMW S 1000 RR: a sports car for bold characters [PHOTO AND VIDEO]

They are 207 the horsepower expressed by the four-cylinder engine of the new one BMW S1000RR, a value that suggests great strength. An energy to be fully appreciated on the track.

The main features

A tapered, compact aesthetic, refined to respond to the great progression provided by the beating heart. The new BMW S1000RR It features a lightweight and technological frame structure, designed with the rider's ergonomics in mind. An "All in one" concept, as reported by the Bavarian brand itself, underlined in particular by the rear area which acts as a license plate holder and support for the rear lights which can be removed, like the thick mirrors which contain the directional lights to obtain configuration more similar to a racing motorbike. At the same time, great care emerges from an aesthetic and aerodynamic point of view. An attention highlighted by the headlights LED , which have a rather incisive design. You can choose between a robe Motorsport or an equally characterizing one Racing Red Uni.
The careful study of aesthetics and contents is linked to the optimization of the weight/power ratio, as is the overall chassis. Various components have been refined to maximize every aspect, including the aforementioned weight, by adopting for example a new distribution system (ShiftCam), drilled titanium intake valves, an advanced oil bath and self-reinforcing multi-disc anti-hopping clutch (-20 No), from what has been reported.
By adopting a package M (optional) you can therefore configure a sports bike to tackle any track. The weight is further reduced by approximately 3,5 kg, reaching 193,5 kg and the equipment includes M carbon wheels, an M battery as well as the seat, raised suspension and swingarm fulcrum, and therefore the characteristic Motorsport paint. Together with the driving modes already standard Rain , Road, Dynamic and Race there are also Pro ones, specifically three Race Pro configurable, as well as sophisticated assistance systems such as DTC +/-Shift, DDC (Dynamic Damping Control), ABS setting, wheelie management and more. The different settings can be managed via a Multicontrollers tied to the handlebar with reference to the 6,5" TFT screen which includes the digital instrumentation.

A powerful heart

The engine itself contributes to the optimization of the overall mass. A new four-cylinder unit that offers a maximum thrust of 207 horses a 13.500 rpm, thanks to a more functional and progressive delivery allowed by the aforementioned technology BMW ShiftCam, focused on the appropriate valve opening and the same valve travel via the camshaft.
The thrust is as notable as the torque 113 Nm a 11.000 rpm, with a torque curve equal to at least 100 Nm on a regime from 5.500 to 14.500 rpm.according to the instructions. A new evolution of the concept RR, after the first generation, which also benefits from the aforementioned optional system Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) which coincides with the symbiosis between an electronic chassis and a mechanical damping solution, to obtain maximum support depending on the driving situation and program, through a parallel arrangement of the elements. Evaluating an action over time 10 ms, always taking what is indicated. Furthermore, considering the presence of an aluminum underslung swingarm. Another element that allows further savings in terms of weight (0,3 kg), as well as a shock absorber adjustable in compression and extension and spring preload which is further away from the engine and is less stressed at operating temperatures, without forgetting a stiffness index scaled based on the change in the multiplication ratio of the shock absorbing 1,9:1, in particular 1,65:1, as well as larger shock absorber pistons, as indicated among the reported peculiarities. Further factors supporting cycling.
It starts da a reported price of 19.550 € turnkey, considering an access specimen.
