BMW unveiled the S 1000 XR, based on the S 1000 RR. The new XR comes with a Euro5 compliant version of BMW’s potent 999cc inline-four motor but misses out on BMW’s ShiftCam technology. Like the S 1000 RR,
BMW has done away with the BMW 2020 S 1000 XR’s asymmetric bulb-type headlight setup for symmetric LED units. BMW India has now teased the bike in a video that hints at its imminent launch.
The bike receives minor design tweaks but loses 10 kg of weight compared to the previous model. It also features a full-color TFT dash that acts as a control hub for all motorcycle electronic systems.
Powering the sports tourer is a 999cc inline-four engine that makes 165PS and 114Nm (exactly the same as the previous model). However, it misses out on ShiftCam technology. Nonetheless, the bike comes with a lot of riding aids like traction control, wheelie control, drag torque control (which is basically Motor Slip Regulation), Shift Assist Pro (BMW lingo for quickshifter), Hill Start Assist and a six-axis IMU.
BMW 2020 S 1000 XR has an electronically adjustable suspension setup: 45mm USD fork and mono-shock provided by ZF. It’s 17-inch alloy rims come wrapped in touring-spec rubber since the bike is road-biased.
