BMW S 1000 XR price, launch details
The S 1000 XR shares its motor with the iconic S 1000 RR. BMW claims they have reworked the in-line 4-cylinder motor for the S 1000 XR, and it now produces 170hp at 11,000rpm and 114Nm at 9250rpm, which is 5hp more than the model it replaces. BMW claims it can do a 0-100 in 3.25 seconds and achieve a top-speed of 253kmph. In terms of design, BMW has replaced the black beak fender with one that’s now body coloured. The rear section features new side panels and air intakes that BMW claim take inspiration from motorsport. BMW claims to have completely redesigned the seat to be better suited for track riding and touring. The S 1000 XR now comes with a 850mm seat height which can be lowered further with a lower seat height option.
The new S 1000 XR can be had with additional equipment depending on what package you choose (Touring package, Dynamic package & M package). It is worth mentioning that the S 1000 XR comes standard with the touring and dynamic package. The Touring package includes luggage carrier, centre stand, slot for navigation device, hand protection, tyre pressure monitoring system and heated grips. The Dynamic package includes dynamic ESA pro, shift assistant pro and cruise control.
The M package on the other hand consists of the M Sport seat, M Endurance chain, M GPS-Laptrigger, sports silencer, tinted windscreen, a black fuel filler cap, M lightweight battery, M forged wheels or optionally the M Carbon wheels. The M package is the only package that comes in the M Sport themed white colour. It is also worth mentioning that this package will cost Rs 2.50 lakh over the standard price. The all new S 1000 XR is launched at a price of Rs 22.50 lakh (ex-showroom India) which is just Rs 40,000 more than the model it replaces. The BMW S 1000 XR will rival the likes of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak and the Ducati Multistrada V4 RS which is yet to launch in India.
