2025 BMW S1000R Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
M Carbon wheels
Unmistakably a product of the M factory: the optional accessory of M Carbon wheels are lightweight and enhance the handling and performance.
High performer: the engine
Superbike splendor meets roadster punch. With torque-optimized 170 hp.
M Quick action throttle
Dynamic and ergonomic: The M Quick action throttle allows for outstanding dosing and a stable power development without the need to change your grip position.
Ultra-sporty: Tinted Sport windscreen
The S 1000 R Sport with the Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow paint has a dynamic look. Tinted windscreen is not available in the U.S.
Unmistakable: Dual-flow LED headlight
The Splitface LED headlight and the R logo create a uniquely imposing aesthetic.
Short license plate carrier
Sporty, short, compact: the license plate carrier for dynamic Roadsters.
Titanium sports silencer
For a sportier sound and less weight.
M Endurance chain
46 teeth for a big impact: the optional M Endurance chain with a short secondary gear ratio is highly effective and requires little maintenance.
Power. Visible.
Screams pure performance, even from afar: The dynamic front with the unmistakeable Splitface design and dual-flow LED headlights. The Headlight Pro can illuminate everything you need to see.
Dynamics at its best
The weight? No contest. Including M package, it is optimized down to the last ounce – from 432 lbs. Even when fully equipped and with a full tank, it remains under 441 lbs.
Right up to the limit
The drive goes right up to the limit. Races straight off from neutral. Lets off a superbike firework all the way up to its maximum 12,000 rpm. Remains controllable thanks to three lean angle-dependent riding modes. The short secondary gear ratio makes the R a sprinter that doesn’t want to be overtaken. The M Quick action throttle allows for precise control, without the need to change your grip position. The optional Pro Riding Modes also give you full control over all control systems.
Dress code: Rigorous
We don’t do things by halves – maybe only with the aggressive Splitface design. The S 1000 R delivers on what its appearance promises.
M
A letter that represents racing, power, and enthusiasm better than any other. The R comes with the M Quick action throttle as standard. You can also add individual M optional accessory, such as the M Carbon wheels or M Lightweight battery to enhance the performance according to your preferences.
R
Minimalist front, unmistakeable with its Splitface design and the R between its “eyes”. Aggressive, compact rear, perfect for performance enthusiasts. Pure dynamics in typical roadster proportions. A large R can also be seen on the side trim panel, automatically drawing a maximum of respect.
Driven by adrenaline
Front wheel-optimized sitting position – on the attack. At the same time, you can keep everything under control thanks to the double-adjustable handlebar clamp and three different seat heights, among other features. As versatile and precise as ever. The extreme sportiness doesn’t mean it’s unsuitable for touring. On the contrary: equipment options like the luggage rack or the navigation preparation invite you to go on adrenaline-packed trips.
3 year warranty
Ride on, and on, and on.
Get up to 3-years or 36,000 miles warranty on all new motorcycles.
The Dynamic Roadster with more power and a shorter secondary gear ratio for increased acceleration.
Roadster looks combined with super sporty driving dynamics – this is what the new BMW S 1000 R, also known as Single R, stands for. Its inline-four engine is still based on the power unit of the S 1000 RR and delivers a linear and full torque curve for the excellent rideability. Compared to the previous model, power has been increased by 5 hp to 170 hp at an unchanged engine speed of 11,000 rpm.
The main reasons for the power increase are a changed geometry of the intake ports and adjusted mapping. The maximum torque remains at 84 lb-ft. at 9,250 rpm. In addition, the engine now meets Euro 5+ emissions standards. The shorter secondary gear ratio of 17/46 teeth ensures even acceleration.
The shift assistant allows upshifting without clutch operation, providing perfect acceleration with almost no interruption in traction. It also allows downshifting without clutch or throttle operation in the relevant load and speed ranges. This enables very fast gear changes and reduces clutch operation to a minimum. For use in the new S 1000 R, it has been optimized so that smooth upshifting is now possible with a closed throttle and smooth downshifting with an open throttle.
M Quick-Action Throttle with reduced rotation New, dual-flow LED headlight.
For relaxed throttle control without having to reposition or twist the wrist, the new M Quick-Action Throttle, also used in the new M RR, ensures this. The rotation angle is now 58 degrees instead of the previous 72 degrees. This offers a significant advantage, especially in track operation, while the excellent controllability thanks to the corresponding application of the engine management to the changed rotation angle has been fully retained. Additionally, the traction control DTC of the S 1000 R benefits from the revisions made to the DTC from the M 1000 R, further enhancing its performance. The new dual-flow LED headlight, derived from the RR models, ensures a characteristic design and confident road illumination at night.
Standard Drag Torque Control (MSR) and “Engine Brake” function.
The new Single R now comes standard with Drag Torque Control (MSR). Electronically controlled, MSR prevents the rear wheel from slipping due to abrupt throttle closure or downshifting. An anti-hopping clutch opens the clutch from a mechanically predetermined threshold to prevent the rear wheel from locking – for example, when downshifting. However, if the available grip of the tire is below this opening threshold, for example in wet conditions, the rear wheel could still exceed the limit of static friction due to the engine’s drag torque and slip.
Thanks to MSR, the new S 1000 R detects this danger early. Depending on the riding mode, the throttle valves are opened within milliseconds to reduce the drag torque appropriately, keeping the rear wheel within the grip range. This provides the rider with more safety, especially on slippery road surfaces.
The “Engine Brake” function for adjusting the engine braking torque in conjunction with drag torque control (MSR) has four settings:
- Rain: Maximum engine brake and MSR.
- Road: Maximum engine brake and MSR.
- Dynamic: Medium engine brake and MSR.
- Dynamic Pro: Medium engine brake and MSR. Additionally, this mode offers the possibility to set the engine brake and MSR to minimum.
Standard short license plate holder, USB-C socket, and Intelligent Emergency Call.
For a more dynamic appearance, the rear end with a new, short license plate holder, in the style of the M 1000 R, can now be found on the Single R. Convenient charging is provided by the now standard USB-C charging socket under the seat. Quick assistance in emergency situations is supported by the now also standard Intelligent Emergency Call E-CALL. In the event of an emergency, it automatically contacts the BMW call center to activate the rescue chain as quickly as possible and, if possible, establish an initial conversation with the affected person. Additionally, the system can also be triggered manually. The use of such an E-CALL system has been proven to allow emergency services to reach the accident site faster.
