New BMW S 1000 R Launched in India

Lucknow : The highly anticipated new BMW S 1000 R has officially hit the Indian market, ready to redefine the hyper-naked motorcycle segment. BMW Motorrad India has launched the roadster as a completely built-up unit (CBU), with bookings now open at all authorized dealerships across the country. The launch was announced with much fanfare, emphasizing the bike's aggressive design, enhanced features, and raw performance, a combination that promises to deliver an exhilarating riding experience.

The new S 1000 R is more than just a bike; it’s a statement of performance and style. As Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO of BMW Group India, put it, "The new BMW S 1000 R is where dynamic roadster design meets the heart of a superbike. It is aggressive, agile, engineered for pure performance... and built for those who live for the rush." This sentiment perfectly captures the essence of the "Single R," a machine designed to thrill.

The introductory ex-showroom price for the new BMW S 1000 R starts at INR 19,90,000, making it an attractive proposition for enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance and cutting-edge technology.

Visually, the new S 1000 R is a head-turner. Its aggressive roadster proportions and the signature Splitface LED headlight with daytime riding lights give it an imposing presence. The rear is equally sleek, with the license plate holder, turn signals, and license plate lights integrated into a single, compact unit. The turn indicator lights also cleverly incorporate the brake and taillight functions, a testament to BMW's meticulous design.

The bike's racing heritage is highlighted through its stunning color options. The standard Blackstorm Metallic offers a sleek, menacing look. For those who want more flair, the Style Sport option features a vibrant Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow paintwork and a tinted sport windscreen. The ultimate expression of racing DNA is found in the M package, which boasts the exclusive M Motorsport paint finish in Light White Uni, accented with the classic Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Red stripes.

At its core, the new BMW S 1000 R is powered by a potent 999cc oil/water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke in-line engine. This powerhouse generates a peak output of 170 hp at 11,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 114 Nm at 9,250 rpm. These figures translate into jaw-dropping performance, with the bike sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and reaching an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. This isn't just a bike for the road; it's a machine built for the track, with all the necessary performance to back up its aggressive looks.

With its combination of aggressive design, enhanced features, and pure, unadulterated performance, the new BMW S 1000 R is set to make a significant impact on the Indian motorcycle scene. It's a bike that promises not only to challenge the competition but also to provide an unmatched riding experience for those who dare to take on the challenge.
