BMW S 1000 RR 2026

You can tell that the new BMW S 1000 RR has been fine-tuned again. Ergonomics, electronics tuning, engine handling, suspension tuning (DDC) - BMW engineers have probably thought primarily of the normal customer and not of racers in disguise. Because the S 1000 RR impresses with its high level of universality and perhaps sacrifices the last tenth of uncompromisingness for this - and that was a good decision. This makes the 210 Horsepower superbike rideable and controllable for a wide range of customers, both on the track and on weekend rides on the country road. Only the engine vibrations should not still be there.

powerful engine suitable for everyday use and the racetrack

great electronics for performance and safety

optional M brakes with a brute pressure point

comparatively comfortable seating position for this class

agile chassis, an advantage for the country road

engine vibrations noticeable in the handlebars

slightly less stable than the competition in the high-speed range

extensive optional extras with sometimes high surcharges
