BMW S 1000RR

.

From a press release issued by BMW Motorrad:

 “Through optimized aerodynamics featuring new winglets and newly designed fairing side panels, the new M Quick-Action Throttle, and a substantially increased standard equipment package, we have been able to significantly enhance the performance of the RR once again.“ Sepp Mächler, Product manager S 1000 RR

Significantly increased downforce with new winglets. New front fender with integrated brake ducts.
The potent inline-four engine, with an unchanged output of 205 hp at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft of torque @ 11,000 rpm continues to ensure powerful propulsion. It now complies with the Euro 5+ emissions standard.

The increased performance of the new S 1000 RR – simply referred to as RR – results primarily from the further development of aerodynamics. As part of this aerodynamic advancement, the winglets have been completely redesigned.

The winglets on the front fairing of the new RR now produce significantly more aerodynamic downforce – both in an upright riding position and when leaning. At 186 mph, the downforce has been increased from the previous 37.7 lbs. to 50.9 lbs. The positive effects include greater rider confidence in the front wheel for larger lean angles or higher cornering speeds at the same lean angle, as well as a reduced tendency for the bike to wheelie.

Another key point in optimizing aerodynamics is the area around the front wheel. The new RR features brake cooling ducts integrated into the new front fender, which has been optimized for improved airflow around the forks and brake calipers. This reduces the brake temperature during track use, thereby enhancing performance and providing more consistent brake pressure.

Inspired by the first generation RR from 2009, the new RR features asymmetrical design side panels made of plastic, similar to the engine spoiler. While the left side is characterized by a large exit opening for heat dissipation, the right side features a dynamic and distinctive gill design.

M Quick-Action Throttle with reduced rotation angle. The new M Quick-Action Throttle, which is also used in the new M 1000 RR, ensures relaxed throttle control and perfect handling without the need to reposition the hand or twist the wrist. The rotation angle is now 58 degrees instead of the previous 72 degrees. This provides a significant advantage, especially in track use, while maintaining excellent throttle modulation thanks to the corresponding application of the engine management system to the changed rotation angle.

Pro Riding Modes, Hill Start Control Pro, adjustable ABS and ABS “Slick” setting. As before, the new RR distinguishes between two riding mode groupings, for the road and for the track. Previously, the RR came standard with the four riding modes “Rain,” “Road,” “Dynamic,” and “Race.” The standard equipment of the new RR includes the previously available optional equipment “Pro Riding Modes” with the additional riding modes “Race Pro 1,” “Race Pro 2,” and “Race Pro 3.”

The DTC Dynamic Traction Control still features four fixed basic settings for the respective riding modes “Rain,” “Road,” “Dynamic,” and “Race.” In the “Race Pro” riding modes, fine-tuning (+/- shift) is available. With “Pro Riding Modes,” the DTC Wheelie function is adjustable. It allows the suppression or limitation of wheelies via front wheel lift detection, aiming for maximum acceleration.

Previously, the new RR had three throttle response curves, which were fixed to the respective riding modes “Rain,” “Road,” “Dynamic,” and “Race.” In the newly added standard “Race Pro 1” to “Race Pro 3” modes, two additional combinations of throttle response and drive torque can be selected. Soft throttle response and full torque. Direct throttle response and full torque. “Pro Riding Modes” offers the “Engine Brake” function in the “Race Pro” modes with three levels of adjustability for engine drag torque during deceleration.

Another component of “Pro Riding Modes” is Hill Start Control Pro. It goes beyond the features of the comfort system Hill Start Control and offers an additional Auto HSC function. Through the settings menu, this additional function can be customized so that the holding brake on a slope (greater than +/- 5%) is automatically activated shortly after the motorcycle comes to a stop following the activation of the hand or foot brake lever.
In “Race Pro” riding modes, the ABS is adjustable over five levels, and the ABS Pro function is correspondingly linked to it. Additionally, the ABS Pro Setting “Slick” accommodates the use of slick track tires.
As another component of “Pro Riding Modes,” the Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) supports the rider during braking maneuvers. DBC offers more safety when braking, even in difficult situations, by preventing unintentional throttle activation. As soon as the sensor detects a certain deceleration value during braking, any simultaneous acceleration request by the rider is recognized as implausible, and the throttle valves are prevented from opening. This keeps the motorcycle stable and shortens the braking distance.
