Performance and Specifications

The new S 1000 R features a 999cc oil and water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke inline engine that produces 170 horsepower at 11,000 rpm and 114 Nm of maximum torque at 9,250 rpm.

The display can connect with the BMW Motorrad Connectivity App for navigation and route guidance functions.

Optional equipment packages include the Dynamic Package featuring Dynamic Damping Control and Pro riding modes, the Comfort Package with keyless ride and heated grips, and the M Sport Package with specialized components including M forged wheels and sports silencer.

The new model features revised styling elements including integrated turn signals and license plate lights at the rear, with brake and taillight functions incorporated into the turn indicator units. The motorcycle maintains the characteristic split-face LED headlight design with daytime running lights and R logo.

Warranty and Services

All BMW Motorrad vehicles in India come with a three-year unlimited kilometer warranty, with options to extend coverage to the fourth and fifth years. The company also provides 24x7 roadside assistance coverage for breakdown and towing situations.

BMW India Financial Services offers financing options for the motorcycle, including coverage for rider gear and accessories purchases.

The launch comes as BMW continues to expand its premium motorcycle presence in India, targeting enthusiasts seeking high-performance roadster motorcycles. The S 1000 R positions itself in the premium naked bike segment, competing with other European and Japanese offerings in the Indian market.
