EICMA: BMW pakt uit met compleet vernieuwde S 1000 RR !

Naast alle Italiaanse exotica zou je bijna durven vergeten dat er op de EICMA nog ‘gewone’ superbikes gepresenteerd worden. Niet van de minste zelfs, want BMW pakt uit met een compleet vernieuwde S 1000 RR. De motor beschikt over alle mogelijke snufjes om aanspraak te maken op de titel van ‘de snelste superbike’. Hieronder vind je foto’s, highlights uit het persbericht en helemaal onderaan de technische fiche.

UPDATE: BMW heeft aangegeven van opnieuw een full factory WSBK team op te starten met Tom Sykes en Markus Reiterberger!

     

De motor werd helemaal vernieuwd, al is het moeilijk om niet onder de indruk te zijn van de prestaties en de motor die voortaan niet enkel een contraroterende krukas heeft, maar ook variabele kleptiming. In het persbericht klinkt het als volgt:

“With a completely newly developed engine and suspension, engine output increased by 6 kW (8 hp) to 152 kW (207 hp) (in the USA: 151 kW (205 hp)) and a weight reduction of 208 kg to 197 kg (193.5 kg with M Package), the supersports bike originally launched in 2009 now goes into its third completely new generation.

In particular because BMW Motorrad has moved the assistance systems such as traction and wheelie control, ABS and Hill Start Control to a whole new level; the same applies to the LED lighting system and large TFT screen.

Newly developed engine with BMW ShiftCam Technology for further enhanced power in the lower and medium engine speed range and increased top-end power.
With its newly developed 4-cylinder in-line engine, now 4 kg lighter than before, the new RR achieves an entirely new level of performance. For this purpose, not only was the geometry of the intake and exhaust ports further optimised, the motorcycle now also comes with BMW ShiftCam Technology – an entirely new technology for BMW motorcycles which varies the valve timings and valve strokes on the intake side. A revised intake passage and a new exhaust system that is 1.3 kg lighter likewise contribute to increased overall performance. Ridability and sprint capability benefit from a substantially increased torque across a wide engine speed range.”

Live vanop de EICMA ziet het er zo uit.
De nieuwe ‘RR’, klaar voor het full factory WSBK team met Reiterberger en Sykes!

De highlights:

• 4 kg lighter, newly developed 4-cylinder in-line engine with
BMW ShiftCam Technology for variation of valve timings and valve strokes on the intake side.
