BMW S 1000 XR Launch Incoming

June 29, 2020 by Harket Suchde Leave a Comment

The BMW S 1000 XR will be launched in India by July end as the brand begin a social media campaign to tease the sport-tourer. 

The S 1000 XR will be the second bike in this genre to see a launch in recent times, with the F 900 XR (and its F 900 R sibling) being launched in late May. The S 1000 XR is a different beast though and has adventure tourer styling cues with an engine and platform straight from the performance-oriented S 1000 RR.

So, as its name suggests, the S 1000 XR is powered by the same 999-cc four, which has been re-tuned to offer a more friendly 165 hp and 112Nm of torque. Rather than offering top-end whack on this state of tune, BMW have prioritized mid-range grunt instead. Transmission duties are carried out by a six-speed unit with a chain final drive. Being a top-of-the-line BMW, the S 1000 XR also gets a suite of electronic aids to keep things on the straight-and-narrow, including a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, and selectable driving modes, along with modern tech like a TFT screen. 

So if you are in the market for a premium ride for the long haul and want the prestige of that iconic Bavarian badge, you might want to stick around till the S 1000 XR hits showrooms. We expect it to carry a price of 18 lakh ex-showroom when it finally reaches our shores. We will keep you updated with more launch details as soon as BMW Motorrad India dish them out.

In recent years, however, the MT-10 has begun to show its age, especially in terms of technology and rider aids. It was always on the thirsty side, too, and, by modern standards, the brakes were lacking. It was time for an update, which is why for 2022 Yamaha introduced a new MT-10 earlier this year.
