The new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster combines an emotional appearance with Supersports riding qualities. The dynamic roadster delivers the same cutting-edge technology as the Supersports S 1000 RR because it shares essential components with that vehicle.
All around, you can see how closely related the “RR” is? The new S 1000 R’s dynamic reaction is unique thanks to its pared-down design. In the sporty roadster sector, the new S 1000 R once again sets the bar with its 121 kW (165 hp) peak power and unmatched low weight of 199 kg (DIN), as well as standard ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), full-scale LED lighting and much more.
An overwhelming odor of gasoline permeates the air around us. The speed of an automobile’s engine increases. It’s like a symphony. The BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster is ready for the stage. Superbike DNA on the exterior, a dynamic Roadster below There are RR genes in the chassis and powerplant.
The nimblest of nimblest. 165 horsepower from 195 pounds. Greater sophistication and more excellent understanding are on the way, with M colors and M carbon wheels as part of the optional package for the first time. I’m ready for the last test.
The 121 kW (165 horsepower) in-line four-cylinder engine is based on the BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster’s engine and can reach 11 000 rpm. At 9 250 rpm, the maximum torque of 114 Nm may be achieved. To provide even better rideability, a more linear torque curve was used to broaden, fill out, and harmonize the engine’s speed range.
It is done to lower engine speed at cruising speeds on rural roads by increasing the gear ratios of the 4th through 6th gears to minimize noise and fuel consumption. The new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster has an optional engine drag torque control (MSR) in addition to a smoother, self-reinforcing anti-hopping clutch.
By being electronically managed, the engine drag torque control keeps the rear wheels from sliding when the engine is throttled suddenly or the transmission is downshifted.
BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster – Feature and Specs
Lighter chassis
Like the rest of the motorbike, the chassis underwent substantial weight reduction. Frame and swingarm are based on the BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster and reworked to save weight. Additionally, the Flex Frame’s engine takes on an entirely new role, one of support. As a result of its slender dimensions, the new frame has additional advantages.
As a result, the motorcycle’s breadth at the knee contact point is significantly reduced, allowing for a more comfortable riding posture with more mobility. Ergonomic adjustments may be made by adjusting the handlebar clamp. There are two specific positions: 0 mm and +10 mm to the front. As an additional option, 10 mm handlebar riser mounts are available with a 0mm/+10mm direction change in the direction of travel.
There is much more distance between the engine and swingarm now thanks to the BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster’s use of an underslung swingarm and the Full-Floater Pro kinematics spring strut. As a result, the engine doesn’t become too hot from waste heat, and its temperature and damping response are both steadier. Increased traction and more minor tire wear are the end effects of using the swingarm, which has its origins in racing.
DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) and ABS Pro are standard. The “Riding Modes Pro” add-on has the “Dynamic Pro” riding mode, as well as the “Engine Brake” and “Power Wheelie” features of the “Riding Modes Pro” standard equipment. With Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), ABS Pro having investment angle optimization, and the three riding modes “Rain,” “Road, and Dynamic” as standard, the new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster is ready for any situation.
As part of “Riding Modes Pro,” there is also a completely programmable “Dynamic Pro” mode, with a wide variety of settings. The new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster has “Riding Modes Pro,” which includes “Engine Brake,” “Motor Drag Torque Control (MSR),” and “Power Wheelie.” The “Riding Modes Pro” option includes Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), which aids the rider in emergency braking situations.
Multifunctional instrument
The new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster’s instrument panel was adapted for the new S1000R as well. In addition to providing a wider variety of features and data, a high priority was given to improving readability. As a result, the screen was made to be as big as possible to provide the best possible information presentation, especially in low-light situations. The rider can select from a diversity of screen displays for different reasons.
Additionally, a Core Screen displays banking angle and deceleration and traction control on the Pure Ride Screen, which gives all the required information for conventional road riding. It comes with a Bluetooth smartphone interface that enables app-based arrow navigating. The multi-controller is used to manipulate the TFT display from the handlebars. The M package adds a third Core Screen with a bar display and a lap timer to the vehicle.
Standard equipment includes an LED headlight and robust LED light modules. A daytime running light feature is available as an optional extra on the Headlight Pro with adaptive turning and iconic light guides. LEDs are used in the new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster’s lighting units, which are state-of-the-art.
The new LED primary headlight, with optimized low and high beam illumination, is one. LEDs are also used in the recent turn indicator and rear light designs. Adapted from the S 1000 RR, the rear turn indicators now have a combined tail/brake light function.
The fork area conceals the front turn indicators. Headlight Pro has an adaptive turning light as an ex-works option that provides enhanced night-time visibility. Furthermore, LED modules are used in this scenario. To make nighttime riding even more secure, riders may use better road lighting while doing turns.
Dynamic design
For its current iteration, the BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster is influenced by its S 1000 RR supersport sibling but emphasizes its sporty roadster nature. More than ever, the “tail up, nose down” design of the S 1000 R’s revised bodywork creates an eye-catching dramatic visual impact.
The new BMW 2021 S 1000 R Powerful Roadster’s sporty, dynamic design is highlighted by the color theme. Also available are Style Sport and M packages with extra product items in addition to the non-metallic Racingred color.
