BMW Motorrad India has unveiled the much-anticipated new BMW S 1000 RR at the Auto Expo 2025, marking a significant leap forward in the world of super sport motorcycles. Renowned for its impeccable blend of power and precision, the updated model boasts a series of enhancements that promise to elevate the riding experience to new heights. The bike will be available in India as a completely built-up unit, with bookings open across BMW Motorrad’s dealer network. Deliveries are set to begin in April 2025.
Price and Availability
The new BMW S 1000 RR comes with a starting price of INR 21,10,000 (ex-showroom). Prices may vary at the time of invoicing, with local taxes and additional charges applicable. For further information, prospective buyers can contact their nearest authorized BMW Motorrad dealer.
Enhanced Design and Aerodynamics
The design of the new BMW S 1000 RR is a testament to BMW’s ongoing pursuit of perfection. The high-performance super sport motorcycle showcases an aggressive yet sleek aesthetic, featuring new M winglets that significantly enhance downforce at higher speeds. These aerodynamic upgrades increase stability, allowing for faster cornering and reduced wheelie tendencies. At a top speed of 300 km/h, the downforce has increased from 17.1 kg to an impressive 23.1 kg, providing riders with enhanced confidence and control on both the road and the racetrack.
The new RR also features integrated brake cooling ducts within the front fender, reducing brake temperatures during track use and ensuring consistent performance. Asymmetrical side panels add a dynamic visual appeal, with the left side optimised for heat dissipation and the right side showcasing a distinct gill design.
Powerful Performance with ShiftCam Technology
At the heart of the new BMW S 1000 RR lies a potent inline-four engine equipped with BMW’s ShiftCam technology. The 999cc engine delivers an exhilarating 210 horsepower at 13,750 rpm, with a maximum engine speed of 14,600 rpm. The advanced airbox design features variable intake funnels that optimise power delivery, especially at high engine speeds.
To complement the engine’s performance, the new RR is equipped with a race-tuned 6-speed gearbox that ensures smooth shifts with no slippage. The anti-hopping clutch reduces engine braking, enhancing safety during aggressive braking and downshifting. BMW’s Gear Shift Assistant Pro enables upshifting without using the clutch, maintaining traction and uninterrupted acceleration.
Race-Ready Handling and Suspension
The chassis of the new BMW S 1000 RR remains centred around the highly rigid aluminium bridge frame. With new apertures designed to improve lateral flexibility, the frame offers improved handling precision and greater feedback from the front wheel. The suspension system features a height-adjustable strut and offers the option for Dynamic Damping Control (DDC), which adapts to road conditions and track settings.
Riders can select from a range of Pro Riding Modes, offering six levels of adjustability for engine drag torque, traction control, and ABS settings. For example, the 'Race Pro' modes allow for fine-tuning of Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), enabling riders to adjust wheelie suppression and brake control for maximum acceleration and safety during high-speed riding.
M Packages and Customization Options
To further enhance the S 1000 RR’s performance and aesthetics, two optional packages – Dynamic and M – are available. The Dynamic package focuses on performance upgrades with features like DDC for optimum road contact and electronic cruise control, while the M package sharpens the bike’s sporty appeal with M Carbon wheels, an M Sport seat, and exclusive Light White/M Motorsport paintwork.
These packages enable riders to tailor their motorcycle to their specific racing and comfort needs, with lightweight components designed to improve overall riding dynamics.
State-of-the-Art Technology and Instrumentation
The new BMW S 1000 RR boasts cutting-edge technology, including a 6.5-inch TFT display that offers a variety of display modes tailored to road and racetrack use. Riders can select between Pure Ride and Core screens, which display key information such as RPM, lean angle, lap times, and the DTC indicator, making the bike an ideal companion for both everyday rides and track days.
Other high-tech features include a lighter M battery and a USB charging socket, ensuring convenience and ease of use for riders who demand the best.
