2018 BMW S 1000 XR

2018 BMW S 1000 XR

The motorcycle with the dynamic performance of a racer, the upright seat position of an adventure machine and the endurance of a tourer. The BMW S 1000 XR combines the best aspects of all of these worlds to create BMW Motorrad's first adventure sports bike: perfect for anyone who wants performance and comfort in one machine.

The S 1000 XR is exceptional – and that's exactly how it looks. With its synthesis of sports, touring and adventure, it combines the visual characteristics and qualities of each of these categories, making it one impressive-looking bike. The sporty shape and typical BMW S 1000 RR split-face emphasize its supersport influence, while its characteristic flyline, "beak" and relatively long spring travel reflect the look and ergonomics of the GS series. Wherever the S 1000 XR rolls up, it's sure to turn heads.

The powerful four-cylinder in-line engine delivers an impressive 165 hp (121 kW) at 11,000 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 84 lb-ft (114 Nm) at 9,250 rpm. The liquid-cooled engine provides an abundant torque, particularly for the desired punchy acceleration at low and mid-range engine speeds. Together with the optional Gear Shift Assist Pro, relaxed cruising is accomplished with the same ease as when confidently heading out for a sporty ride on the country round or embarking on an adventure with a passenger.

The S 1000 XR comes with two selectable driving modes as standard - "Rain" and "Road" – allowing riders to adapt optimally to riding conditions. The standard ASC (Automatic Stability Control) ensures a high level of riding safety based on optimum traction. In short, the S 1000 XR can do everything – from tearing along winding country roads to tours for two with luggage.

With the optional Dynamic package, you can make your S 1000 XR even sportier. The Gear Shift Assist Pro makes every gear shift faster and easier. The ABS Pro improves stability and braking safety - on bends or when leaning in.

The optional Touring package offers increased travel comfort for your BMW S 1000 XR. The package includes a range of options for long, relaxed journeys - either on your own or with a companion. These include a luggage carrier, case holder and the electronically controlled Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) technology. This ensures optimum damping action and driving comfort. Furthermore, the motorcycle has a firm footing on the ground with the center stand.
