The bike brings the real racetrack feel to everyday roads and is “a perfect companion, ready to hit the road for all kinds of journeys with sheer motorcycling enjoyment”, he added.
It also features the latest generation of BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) as standard providing a particularly dynamic riding experience with a high level of ride comfort.
For the first time in the BMW S 1000 XR, the dynamic brake assistant DBC (Dynamic Brake Control) also supports the rider during braking manoeuvres, the company said.
