2021 BMW M1000RR Unveiled – The First “M” Motorcycle!

2021 BMW M1000RR Unveiled – The First “M” Motorcycle!

BMW Motorrad unveils its first “M” motorcycle, the all-new BMW M1000RR. Based on the BMW S1000RR, the M1000RR is built to deliver the highest performance on both track and road.

BMW Motorrad began the “M” journey back in 2018 by offering M optional equipment and M performance parts to their customers who want to take the game up a notch. BMW Motorrad just introduced their first “M” motorcycle, the BMW M1000RR aka M RR based on the BMW S1000RR. Just like BMW’s M cars, the new M RR is aimed at customers with particularly high demands relating to performance, exclusiveness and individuality.

BMW M1000RR Specifications

Engine

The new BMW M1000RR is powered by the same water-cooled inline-four mill that’s found on the BMW S 1000RR. However, BMW Motorrad has done numerous upgrades to the standard mill. BMW shift cam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift has been modified for more race-focused performance. Aside from this, the M RR’s mill uses new 2-ring Mahle piston, longer lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl, lighter and slimmer rocker arms and a fully machined intake ports with duct geometry. On top of this, BMW has done some tweaking and optimisation on camshafts and intake area. With these engine upgrades, the compression of the engine has been increased to 13.5. As standard, the new M RR comes with a titanium Akrapovic exhaust system.

The M RR’s engine pushes 212 hp at 14,500 rpm and a peak torque of 113 Nm at 11,000 rpm which puts the M RR in close competition with Ducati’s Panigale V4R.


Aerodynamics and Chassis

In the case of aerodynamics, BMW Motorrad has done numerous updates around the bike.  To begin with, the M winglets upfront was developed and tested intensively on both the race track and BMW group’s wind tunned. The purpose of the clear-coat carbon winglet is to further improve the downforce and wheel loads with the speed.  BMW says the aim is to establish possible contact of the wheels with the road especially when accelerating.

The wheel load on the front wheel counteracts wheelie incline therefore the traction control is regulated less, which means more power is converted into accelration to achive faster lap times. Aside from this, the winglet is also helpful when braking and going through curves. The downforce allows the rider to brake later and also helps with cornering stability.

Moving on to the chassis, the new BMW M1000RR’s chassis design is based on the RR’s aluminium bridge frame. However, the chassis has been trimmed for both track and road use with modified geometry, optimised wheel load distribution and extended adjustability of the swingarm pivot point. BMW says special attention was paid to optimising rideability, braking and anti-squat control as well as the feel of the bike.  Aside from the chassis, the upside-down fork has been revised with central spring strut with blue spring and fall floater pro kinematics.

Brakes

In the case of brakes, the BMW M100RR features BMW Motorrad’s first M brake. The new M brakes were developed directly with the experience of the company’s WSBK race machines to provide enhanced controllability and stability. Combined with the M carbon wheels and other go-fast bits, the new M RR is here to make you go fast on both race track and road.

Electronics

Moving onto the electronics, the new instrument cluster on the new M RR follows the same design of the RR and has M start animation.

As optional equipment, an activation code can be used to provide data material for the M GPS lap trigger and M GPS Datalogger via OBD interface of the cluster. If that’s not enough, the M competition package includes; M miles parts, M carbon package and a lighter 220 g light silver swing arm. Other than this, the package includes friction-optimised, maintenance-free DLC coated M endurance chain and a tail-hump cover as well.

BMW M1000RR Colour Options and Pricing



As for the colour options; the BMW M1000RR  comes in light white solid paint with M sports colour scheme (light blue, dark blue and red). In the case of the price, BMW Motorrad hasn’t announced the pricing yet. However, given the M RR goes on top of the superbike chain, we believe it wouldn’t be cheap.
