BMW S 1000 RR: the new sports car presented with various innovations [PHOTO]

A refined motorcycle, considering design, frame, suspension, engine and assistance solutions. The new BMW S1000RR it represents a further level of evolution of the model introduced in 2009 and, now, proposed in a new definition characterizing it from an aesthetic and technical point of view.

The new BMW S 1000 RR for 2023

Starting from the design, the new Bavarian sports car is covered with three new color combinations Blackstorm metallic, Style Passion in Racing Red non-metallic and a bold dress Lightwhite non-metallic/BMW M. The aesthetic is characterized by a redefined front and a lighter rear area.
As noted on the exclusive M 1000RR, winglet visible from the front, they favor an appropriate load, so that the front wheel remains in contact with the road during progression. Aerodynamic downforce and additional load on the wheels are useful for mitigating the motorcycle's tendency to wheelie, strengthening stability when cornering and braking.

Technique and technology

The nerve center of the new BMW S1000RR the aluminum bridge frame remains, made up of four gravity die-cast elements. The structure integrates the thruster, inclined forward of 32%, which appears as a load-bearing element.
In optimizing lateral flexibility, the main frame has been equipped with various openings in the lateral areas. During the definition phase, a further increase in driving precision was also aimed at. Flattened by 0,5° the steering head angle and content of 3 millimeters the offset of the steering plates. Along with greater driving precision, an increase in sensitivity is also highlighted.

Among the news related to Dynamic Traction Control DTC figure a function Slide Control, allowing the rider to select two pre-set drift angles for the traction control system, when accelerating out of corners. A result obtained with the use of a steering angle sensor. Up to the respective lean angle, the traction control system allows the rear wheel to slip when accelerating out of corners, encouraging rear wheel drift. When the pre-set steering angle value is reached, the traction control acts to reduce slip and stabilize the vehicle.
A. is also highlighted ABS-Pro with new functions Brake Slide Assist e ABS Pro “Slick”. The new Brake Slide Assist function is functional for those who frequent the tracks which, like the new DTC Slide Control function, is based on the steering angle sensors and allows the driver to set a specific skid angle when braking during a slow movement. curve, as reported.

Thruster

The motorbike is equipped with a 4-cylinder in-line unit based on that of the current BMW S 1000 RR.
Peak power now reaches altitude 210 horses (154 kW) at 13.750 rpm, which is an increase of 3 horsepower (2 kW) compared to its predecessor. The couple vertex is of 113 Nm at 11.000 rpm. Even considering the increase in power, the rev range is now significantly wider. The maximum speed is 14.600 rpm, as indicated.
