The S1000RR. The liter-class sports bike destroyed everything in its path when it was introduced to this world about a decade ago. The mean machine that has the technology of a supercomputer. It has quite a fan following for its mad performance and even crazier precision. And in true German fashion, BMW has tried to make the best, even better, by releasing the updated 2023 version of the BMW S1000RR today. Launched as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), the bike is available for bookings throughout the BMW Motorrad network in India. Deliveries will begin in February 2023.
In a strong and competitive segment, the RR is a benchmark, a favorite for racing enthusiasts seeking the thrill of speed. Ever since its introduction in 2009, each generation has redefined the rules of play, and this tradition continues in the new RR.
The all-new BMW S 1000 RR surpasses its forerunners, thanks to comprehensive updates to the engine, suspension, chassis, aerodynamics, design and assistance systems. Engineering enhancements in multiple spheres have successfully resulted in making the best, even better.
President Speaks

On the racetrack or on the road, RR means never coming in second place and always riding ahead. RR riders love the adrenaline of performance and push themselves to the limit. Armed with more engine power, a sharper design, improved aerodynamics and numerous innovations in handling dynamics, the all-new S 1000 RR is revving to go.

Design and Features
The dynamic design of the new RR is supported by three attractive color options-Black Storm Metallic, Passion and Light White Uni/M Motorsport (with M Package).
Riders can further customize with two optional packages- Dynamic and M. Dynamic Package lifts the riding experience with Dynamic Damping Control, Riding Modes Pro, Heated Grips and Cruise Control. M Package (available for Pro M Sport variant) uplifts the racing character with special paintwork Light White Uni/ M Motorsport, M Carbon Wheels, M Sport Seat, M Brake Calipers Blue, Fuel Filler Cap Black and M Rider Footrest System.
When it comes to the design, the front has a completely revamped look with a higher windscreen, side winglets, and partitioning of the lower triple clamp. These elements further optimize aerodynamics and help in maintaining the top speed. Newly added M winglets, as on the M RR, generate aerodynamic downforce and thus additional load on the front wheel. This prevents the bike from wheelies, giving it more cornering stability and thus faster lap times at the racetrack. The redesigned upper and lower tail sections appear lighter and sportier. The new airbox optimizes power generation.
