BMW S 1000 RR arrives, tagged at RM129K and RM149K
By CARSIFU | 19 May 2023KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Motorrad Malaysia has unveiled the latest iteration of the S 1000 RR series, priced at RM129,500 (Style Passion) and RM149,500 (M Package).
Prices are on the road, with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s three-year warranty and three-year roadside assistance programmes, without insurance.
Hans De Visser, managing director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “Intrinsically tied to the racetrack, every aspect of this superbike has been precisely designed with the clear goal of getting the most out of each lap, making it a natural favourite for riders with a penchant for pursuing pure, exhilarating performance. Embodying the spirit of high-performance racing, we are confident that the superbike will continue to
inspire riders that embrace challenges fearlessly and persistently.”
Similar to its predecessor, the chassis of the new S 1000 RR is welded in an aluminium bridge frame which integrates the engine in a 32-degree incline forward.
With the aim of optimising flexibility laterally, the main frame of the New BMW S 1000 RR has been enhanced with several openings in the side areas.
A new chassis geometry is accompanied not only by even better riding precision, but also by increased accuracy and clearer feedback from the front wheel.
Additionally, the front and rear sections, as well as the winglet have also been redesigned to increase the aerodynamic performance and sportiness of the motorbike.
At the heart of the new S 1000 RR is a four-cylinder in-line engine with its peak power now at 210hp at 13,750 rpm (marking a 3hp increase compared to the previous iteration), while the maximum torque of 113 Nm is generated at 11,000 rpm.
Also, there is a significantly broader and more fulsome usable engine speed range, with a maximum engine speed of 14,600 rpm.
Alongside the updated performance are innovations that ensure greater control for riders.
These include the new Slide Control function in the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), which assists the rider when accelerating out of a bend.
It comes with two available preset drift angles for the traction control system, both utilising an advanced steering angle sensor to reduce slip and stabilise the motorcycle during leaning, as soon as the preset steering angle is achieved.
Another notable innovation is the new Brake Slide Assist, part of the standard ABS Pro.
Based also on steering sensor technology, this new function allows the rider to set at a pre-determine drift angle, or so-called braking drifts, while sliding into corners at a maintained speed.
Additionally, there are four riding modes – “Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic” and “Race”.
As standard, the new S 1000 RR has Race ABS, Hill Start Control (HSC), Shift Assist Pro, LED-Turn signal, LED headlight and rear light, as well as the M GPS Laptrigger.
Also standard is the Dynamic Package, inclusive of Riding Mode Pro, HSC Pro, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dynamic Damping Control (DDC), heated grips and cruise control.
The New BMW S1000 RR arrives in two distinct colourways - Style Passion in Racing Red as well as the racing-oriented M Package Light White.
With BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, ownership of the new S 1000 RR starts from RM1,578.00 per month (Style Passion, based on the Balloon Financing estimates of an 80% loan on a four-year tenure).
Owners can also enjoy additional benefits with the industry-leading Premium Engine Oil Inclusive, Service Inclusive and Warranty Extension programmes by BMW Motorrad Malaysia.
