BMW Motorrad has launched its flagship superbike, the M 1000 RR in India in two variants, Standard and Competition, priced at Rs 49 lakh and Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. The M 1000 RR is the most track-focused version of the S 1000 RR. It is also the first production superbike to sport the ‘M’ badge.
The M 1000 RR is powered by a 999cc, inline 4-cylinder engine that generates 209 bhp and 11.5 kgm of peak torque. It enables the superbike to hit 0-100 kph in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 314 kph. Featuring a lightweight carbon fibre fairing with new aero-optimized winglets, its brake ducts are integrated into the new front mudguards and are designed to improve airflow around the fork legs and brake callipers. The bike is available with forged or M Carbon wheels.
The engine also features lightweight 2-ring forged pistons with optimized piston rings, narrow and lightweight cam followers, CNG-machined intake ports, titanium valves, optimized camshafts, longer titanium connecting rods and shorter intake funnels. Equipped with a 6.5-inch TFT display with M GPS Datalogger and M GPS Laptrigger, it also gets four riding modes, Rain, Road, Dynamic and Race Pro 1-3. Other features include electronic cruise control, heated grips, Dynamic Traction Control, Wheelie Control, ABS and ABS Pro, launch control and pit-lane limiter.
The M Competition Package adds several upgrades to the bike and includes the M milled parts package, M Carbon package, a 220g lighter swingarm, DLC-coated M Endurance chain and M Aero Wheels Covers.
