The BMW M 1000 RR
Racing like no other

For all those who make every millisecond count. The superbike that is homologated for racing has been aerodynamically optimized in a wind tunnel and further developed on the circuit. The M RR can attribute its maximum speed of 189 mph to its ShiftCam engine that offers 205 hp and the new trim panel with aerodynamic winglets. This bike stands for performance, motorsport, and exclusivity, right down to the last detail. The same goes for the BMW Motorrad Motorsport Race Support.

Ride like you’re in a slipstream
The redesigned front and side trim panels provide enhanced performance. Additionally, the optimized aerodynamics relieve strain on the rider by reducing the wind pressure they are subjected to: for endurance and fast, focused riding. The revised M Winglets Evolution 3.0, on the other hand, increase the pressure on the front wheel, even when in a lean angle, and generate up to 33% more downforce than the prior model, equating to up to 66 lbs. For even more confidence in low lean angles and high-speed bends.

Ride like your idol
Top performance is always reliant on the materials. That’s why we have installed numerous equipment items as standard with the model update. For example, the steering angle sensor with Slide Control and Brake Slide Assist, the quick action throttle that shortens the throttle path by 14 degrees, or the M Brake Ducts, that provide an enhanced airflow around the fork legs to cool the brake calipers.

Clear feedback – not just from the pit lane
The best possible feel for the front and rear wheels and breathtaking, pinpoint accuracy: The heart of the chassis is an aluminum bridge frame, which also includes an upside-down fork and a central spring strut with Full Floater Pro kinematics, providing great chassis performance. Consistently and uncompromisingly geared to help you achieve the best race times, its chassis also impresses those perfectionists taking to the road in search of adrenaline.

High performance – also a question of tuning 
What sets a true winner apart is their ability to apply their potential during those critical milliseconds: The M RR Launch Control gives you the perfect start to the race, and the Pit Lane Limiter knows when to control the power. The Shift Assistant Pro helps you shift gears fast, without actuating the clutch for every gear change. The gearshift pattern can then be simply reversed for racing. Additionally, the 7 riding modes, two adjustable throttle characteristics, ABS Pro, DTC, engine drag torque control, and the triple-adjustable engine drag torque also enhance the bike’s performance. The 6.5 in TFT display makes everything easy to read.

When every millimeter counts – including in the engine
The short engine with BMW ShiftCam technology has a maximum rotational speed of 15,100 rpm and has proven itself in the WSBK. Since we’re never fully satisfied, we have further optimized the engine with numerous details, including the cylinder head, the piston geometry, valve guide, and airbox. You might not be able to see the difference but you’ll definitely feel it.
