After revealing the 2020 BMW S 1000 XR at
the EICMA 2019, BMW Motorrad has finally brought the updated sports tourer in
India. Available in only a single variant (Pro) in our country, the new 2020 S
1000 XR has been priced at INR 20.90 lakh*.
Just like with the mighty litre-class
latest BMW S 1000 RR, the German company has ditched the asymmetric headlight
set up in the new 2020 S 1000 XR as well. The front end of the motorcycle
features a pair of sleek LED headlamps along with LED DRLs that impart a much
more modern look. BMW Motorrad has also tweaked the design of the fuel tank and
body panels near the saddle to offer a refreshed look and deliver better
support and improved knee grip.
The 2020 BMW S 1000 XR is powered by a
999cc, 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which complies with the BS6 emission
standards. Mated to a 6-speed gearbox, this 16-valve DOHC mill is capable of
producing 165hp at 11,000 rpm and generating 114Nm of peak torque that kicks in
at 9,250 rpm. While these are some healthy output figures, the new S 1000 XR
misses out on the company’s ShiftCam technology. But that does not stop the
sports tourer to do the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.3 seconds and flat out, this
machine will reach a top speed of over 200 km/h.
The 2020 BMW S 1000 XR Pro comes with a
standard warranty for ‘three years, unlimited kilometres’, with an option to
extend the warranty to the fourth and fifth year. It is available in two colour
choices - Racing Red and Ice Grey.
