BMW S 1000R

From a press release issued by BMW Motorrad:

“Even more than before, the revised S 1000 R lives up to its reputation as a Dynamic Roadster. 5 HP more power with added Euro 5+ homologation, even better sprint performance, a more aggressive design thanks to the dual-flow LED headlight, and an expanded standard equipment significantly enhance the Single-R once again.“ Maximilian Freund, Project lead S 1000 R.

The Dynamic Roadster with more power and a shorter secondary gear ratio for increased acceleration.
Roadster looks combined with super sporty driving dynamics – this is what the new BMW S 1000 R, also known as Single R, stands for. Its inline-four engine is still based on the power unit of the S 1000 RR and delivers a linear and full torque curve for the excellent rideability. Compared to the previous model, power has been increased by 5 hp to 170 hp at an unchanged engine speed of 11,000 rpm.
The main reasons for the power increase are a changed geometry of the intake ports and adjusted mapping. The maximum torque remains at 84 lb-ft. at 9,250 rpm. In addition, the engine now meets Euro 5+ emissions standards. The shorter secondary gear ratio of 17/46 teeth ensures even acceleration.

The shift assistant allows upshifting without clutch operation, providing perfect acceleration with almost no interruption in traction. It also allows downshifting without clutch or throttle operation in the relevant load and speed ranges. This enables very fast gear changes and reduces clutch operation to a minimum. For use in the new S 1000 R, it has been optimized so that smooth upshifting is now possible with a closed throttle and smooth downshifting with an open throttle.

M Quick-Action Throttle with reduced rotation New, dual-flow LED headlight.
For relaxed throttle control without having to reposition or twist the wrist, the new M Quick-Action Throttle, also used in the new M RR, ensures this. The rotation angle is now 58 degrees instead of the previous 72 degrees. This offers a significant advantage, especially in track operation, while the excellent controllability thanks to the corresponding application of the engine management to the changed rotation angle has been fully retained. Additionally, the traction control DTC of the S 1000 R benefits from the revisions made to the DTC from the M 1000 R, further enhancing its performance. The new dual-flow LED headlight, derived from the RR models, ensures a characteristic design and confident road illumination at night.

Standard Drag Torque Control (MSR) and “Engine Brake” function.
The new Single R now comes standard with Drag Torque Control (MSR). Electronically controlled, MSR prevents the rear wheel from slipping due to abrupt throttle closure or downshifting. An anti-hopping clutch opens the clutch from a mechanically predetermined threshold to prevent the rear wheel from locking – for example, when downshifting. However, if the available grip of the tire is below this opening threshold, for example in wet conditions, the rear wheel could still exceed the limit of static friction due to the engine’s drag torque and slip.

Thanks to MSR, the new S 1000 R detects this danger early. Depending on the riding mode, the throttle valves are opened within milliseconds to reduce the drag torque appropriately, keeping the rear wheel within the grip range. This provides the rider with more safety, especially on slippery road surfaces.
The “Engine Brake” function for adjusting the engine braking torque in conjunction with drag torque control (MSR) has four settings:
Rain: Maximum engine brake and MSR.
Road: Maximum engine brake and MSR.
Dynamic: Medium engine brake and MSR.
Dynamic Pro: Medium engine brake and MSR. Additionally, this mode offers the possibility to set the engine brake and MSR to minimum.

Standard short license plate holder, USB-C socket, and Intelligent Emergency Call.
For a more dynamic appearance, the rear end with a new, short license plate holder, in the style of the M 1000 R, can now be found on the Single R. Convenient charging is provided by the now standard USB-C charging socket under the seat. Quick assistance in emergency situations is supported by the now also standard Intelligent Emergency Call E-CALL. In the event of an emergency, it automatically contacts the BMW call center to activate the rescue chain as quickly as possible and, if possible, establish an initial conversation with the affected person. Additionally, the system can also be triggered manually. The use of such an E-CALL system has been proven to allow emergency services to reach the accident site faster.
