BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster – Features and Price
Engine Features
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster features the well-proven 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine that has been adapted to complete the requirement of EU4 requirements. It is capable of delivering the output of 121 kW (165 hp) at 11,000 rpm about 3kW (5hp) more fabulous than the 2019 BMW S 1000 R 118kW (160 hp).
But, it weighs 4lbs (2kg) less than the previous model, i.e., 451 lbs (205kg). The permissible gross weight is still 897 lbs (407), which means an increase in payload of 4lbs (2 kgs).
Further development of the engine contains an optimized intake and exhaust sound in conjunction with the standard HP titanium rear silencer. It produces a more powerful sound while adhering to the ECE registration direction R41-04.
Electronics
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster comes with an all-new ASC, partially integral Race ABS and two ride modes as standard. There is an optional Ride Mode Pro that is available with DTC and two additional Dynamic and User ride modes and ABS Pro, Launch Control and Pit Lane Limiter, as other Features.
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster offers two riding modes to ensure optimum adaptation to the rider’s personal preference. These riding modes are “Rain” and “Road,” which provide adaptable power and torque distribution relative to Race ABS and ASC on various road surface conditions.
It is a significant safety bonus when riding on different road surfaces. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) continues to be available as a factory option. It features the banking sensor familiar from the RR, offering the highest series-production level of technology currently available for better riding safety and dynamic performance.
A new feature is added in BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster, i.e., Ride Modes Pro, with two additional riding modes, “Dynamic” and “User.” The ABS already offer a very high degree of safety when braking in a straight line, while ABS Pro gives increased protection when braking on bends. In this way, the wheels can easily be prevented from locking. It helps in reducing abrupt changes in steering force on shock-braking maneuvers and prevents the bike from rearing up unintentionally.
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster comes with an optional HP Shift Assist Pro for rapid shifting up and down without clutch activation. It is also available as an option for the RR and XP.
It helps the rider shift up through the gears without using the clutch, allowing perfect acceleration virtually without torque interruption. The HP Shift Assist Pro quickly downshifts without using the grip resulting in fast shifting with reducing clutch activation and unwanted load change impact on the rear wheel.
Chassis
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster features a unique rear frame structure with an optimized rigidity and flex and a lighter main frame rear suspension for better traction. The main suspension element of the BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster is still an aluminum bridge-type frame comprising four individual components welded together with the new in-line 4-cylinder engine integrated with a load-bearing element.
The mainframe has been redesigned and features a new lighter rear section. The entire composite structure of the mainframe, rear compartment and swingarm has been optimized to ensure rigidity and flex for enhanced traction. The rider footrest system, including gear and brake lever, has been redesigned.
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster comes with light HP forged wheels and Design option wheels as optional equipment. The BMW Motorrad offers HP forged wheels as optional equipment that enables a weight reduction of 5 pounds compared to the standard wheels.
The resulting decrease in the inertial moment and gyroscopic movement benefits the motorcycle in deceleration, acceleration and maneuverability. An all-new optional equipment item Design Option Wheels further underscores the sporty character of the new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster with a red decorative line, which runs around the rim edge of the aluminum cast wheels.
Instrumentation
The new BMW 2020 S1000R Powerful Roadster has an optimized multifunctional instrument cluster with better readability. Like the 2019 BMW S1000R, the motorcycle still draws on motor racing elements for its cockpit design. An LCD screen in conjunction with an all-new analog engine speed display gives plenty of information to the rider, from gears to the relevant riding mode and lap time recording.
