M perfection: winglets
Perfection is in the details. The winglets with black structured paint generate aerodynamic downforce. At 136 mph, they increase the front-wheel load by 24 lbs. Your benefit: maximum riding stability, a lower tendency for the front wheel to lift off the road surface as well as the possibility to brake later and accelerate earlier when cornering. If you prefer more exclusive equipment, you can select the M winglets in Carbon from the optional M Competition package.
M experience: electronics
Fully fledged M experience: the 6.5-inch TFT display welcomes you to the exclusive circle of high-performance riders with M start-up animation. One of four screen variants appears automatically after having started up thanks to the memory function. The Race Pro modes are optimized for riding at the limit on the racetrack.
M dominance: engine
Superbike engine perfected for a hyper roadster: the four-cylinder engine from the RR with BMW ShiftCam technology catapults you from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. With a maximum engine speed of 14,600 rpm, the M R is clearly our most powerful roadster. From 10,000 rpm, you can consequently feel more torque and acceleration. In terms of gear ratio, the M R has more to offer compared with the RR: 47 instead of 46 teeth in the secondary gear ratio and a shorter gear ratio in 4th, 5th and 6th gears compared to the S 1000 R – for performance-oriented riding on country roads. Shift assistant Pro enables fast upshifts and downshifts. The bike's rich sound originating from the titanium rear silencer impressively emphasizes this.
M riding experience: chassis
Clear feedback and breathtaking target accuracy: the chassis with standard DDC as well as fully adjustable suspension elements, adjustable steering damper and milled handlebar clamp. For the M R, it was modified from the RR setup to match the demands of a dynamic roadster. The ergonomics with a front wheel-oriented sitting position supports you when you are leaning forwards.
M intelligence: assistants
Rather than doping: high levels of performance thanks to high-end assistants. Five accelerator characteristics, linked to the Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race and Race Pro riding modes, deliver optimum response characteristics. DTC helps provide maximum control and riding dynamics depending on the riding mode. and Brake Slide Assist supports you in braking drifts when cornering.
