BMW 2021 R nineT Urban G/S Heritage Bike – Features and Specs
Boxer Engine
It has undergone technical and aesthetic fine-tuning for the new BMW 2021 R nineT Urban G/S Heritage Bike and is now geared to fulfill the EU-5 pollution class criteria. At 7250 rpm, its peak power output has been reduced to 109 hp (80 kW), while its maximum torque has been maintained at 116 Nm.
The BMW 2021 R nineT Urban G/S Heritage Bike’s new throttle valve parts and cylinder head covers, as well as newly designed cylinder heads, offer a more harmonious transition from the outer to the inner cooling fins.
For better and cleaner combustion and increased torque, the cylinder heads have a new turbulence system that swirls the mixture. Because of the more robust power and torque curve, particularly between 4000 and 6000 rpm, pulling power levels are now clearly superior to the predecessors.
