BMW Motorrad reveals M 1000 RR with more power & larger winglets

BMW Motorrad has unveiled the latest iteration of its flagship superbike, the M 1000 RR, featuring more power and larger winglets for enhanced performance. The 2025 model of the M 1000 RR was revealed at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, and is set to hit the market next year.

Performance Upgrades

The new M 1000 RR is powered by a 998cc inline-four engine with ShiftCam technology, delivering 218 horsepower (up from 209 hp). This increase in power is achieved through a combination of optimized engine components and improved intake systems. The bike can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, making it one of the fastest production motorcycles available.

Enhanced Aerodynamics

One of the standout features of the updated M 1000 RR is its larger winglets, which provide additional downforce for better stability and cornering performance. The new winglets are designed to generate up to 22.6 kg of downforce at 300 km/h, significantly improving the bike’s handling at high speeds. The redesigned fairing and improved airflow around the fork legs and brake calipers also contribute to better overall performance.

Advanced Features

The M 1000 RR comes equipped with a Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) system, which now includes a Slide Control function thanks to the new steering angle sensor technology. This allows riders to have better control over the bike’s movements, especially during aggressive riding. The bike also features a new ABS mode for slick tyres, enhancing its track capabilities.

Design and Build

Visually, the M 1000 RR retains its aggressive and sporty look, with blacked-out components, carbon fiber elements, and red accents. The bike’s lightweight carbon wheels and titanium exhaust system further enhance its performance and aesthetics.

Market and Pricing

BMW Motorrad plans to launch the M 1000 RR globally, with prices expected to start at around €25,000 for the base model and going up to €35,000 for higher-end variants. The bike is expected to be available in markets such as Europe, the United States, and India.
