2023 BMW S 1000 RR
For 2023, the BMW S 1000 RR gets a few more nips and adds a few new gear to power the new year.
A lot of the features previously only seen on the M model are now standard on the base S 1000 RR, which is expected to arrive in Australia at some point in the first half of 2023.
BMW Motorrad Australia has told us that the 2023 BMW S 1000 RR will retail from $25,750 + ORC.
The new RR has an inline 4-cylinder engine based on the power unit of the current S 1000 RR. Peak power is now 154 kW (210 hp) at 13,750 rpm, 2 kW (3 hp) higher than the previous model thanks to the intake air and air box geometry that was previously only available on the model. M figure.
Maximum torque of 113 Nm is generated at 11,000 rpm.
Despite the increase in peak power, the new RR’s usable engine speed range is now said to be significantly wider, and the bike gets slightly shorter gearshifts thanks to an extra tooth on the disc. rear chain.
Shift Assistant Pro has been improved on several points. The driver’s request to shift gears is now done through a torque converter and thus allows change in all operating ranges.
The steering head angle has been flattened by 0.5° (66.4° instead of 66.9° before) and the deflection of the trio of clamps has been reduced by 3mm.
Accordingly, the wheel is increased from 93.9 mm to 99.8 mm. At the same time, the wheelbase is extended to 1,457 mm.
The M-frame is now standard with an adjustable swingarm swing point, a raised rear end and a non-height-adjustable suspension strut.
For easier rear wheel removal and mounting, the rear axle bushing on the right side is now fitted to prevent loss and the brake pads and brake anchor plates are chamfered.
The new feature of Dynamic Traction Control DTC is the Slide Control function. It allows the driver to select two preset drift angles for the traction control system when accelerating out of the corner. Technically, this is achieved using the steering angle sensor. Taking into account the corresponding tilt angle, the traction control system allows the rear wheel to slip when accelerating out of the bend, thus facilitating the rear wheel drift. When the preset steering angle value is reached, the traction control system intervenes, reducing slip and stabilizing the motorcycle.
The new Brake Assist function is an important and very useful innovation for racers. As in the new DTC Slip Control function, this new system is also based on a steering angle sensor and allows the driver to set a specific drift angle for the so-called brake slip while sliding into the corner at a sustained speed.
The new version of the RR benefits from a redesigned front end that includes a spoiler, a new, lighter and sportier looking rear section, and three new color schemes.
The harness is optimized for quicker removal of the license plate holder, and M batteries and USB charging sockets are now standard.
