The track-focused BMW M 1000 RR will be launched in India soon. BMW Motorrad India has released a teaser video of its first-ever M model motorbike on its social media channels which reveals that the high-performance motorcycle will reach the Indian shores soon. However, an exact launch date hasn’t been revealed.
The mighty BMW M 1000 RR was revealed in
September last year. It’s based on the company’s highly-popular litre-class
sportbike, the S 1000 RR. Since the M division is BMW’s performance department
which is responsible for creating high-end, really fast and capable cars, the
new M 1000 RR will have the traits of a fully-fledged race machine.
The upcoming BMW M 1000 RR is powered by
the same engine which BMW Motorrad uses in the S 1000 RR. However, for the M
model, the company has incorporated several changes to enhance the overall
performance. For example, there are 2-ring forged pistons for Mahle, lighter
titanium connecting rods from Pankl, slimmer and lighter rocker arms, fully machined
intake ports with new duct geometry, and more. As a result, the BMW M 1000 RR
has 212 bhp of max power that is produced at 14,500 rpm whereas the peak torque
of 113 Nm kicks in at 11,000 rpm.
Apart from the high-spec engine, the BMW M
1000 RR also features several carbon-fibre parts to keep its weight in check.
The motorcycle tips the scale at just 192 kg. It also gets aerodynamically
designed winglets that provide the required downforce at high-speeds, corners,
and while braking. BMW Motorrad has also used top-of-the-line suspension and
braking setups. And on top of all this, there’s also an M Competition Package
that makes the motorcycle even more brutal.
