2021 BMW S 1000 R launched in India at 17.9 lakh

21st June 2021
"The 999cc in-line four in the 2021 S 1000 R is based on the S 1000 RR, but it's been detuned to generate 167.2PS at 11,000rpm and 114Nm at 9,250rpm"

The all-new BMW S 1000 R for 2021 has just been unveiled in India in three trim levels: ordinary, Pro, and Pro M Sport, all priced at Rs 17.9 lakh, Rs 19.75 lakh, and Rs 22.50 lakh, respectively (all prices, ex-showroom). From today, all BMW Motorrad India dealerships will be able to book the all-new BMW S 1000 R as a completely built-up unit (CBU).

The new and narrower headlight unit - which is quite similar to the F 900 R and replaces the old asymmetrical unit - new indicators, new tank shape, and looks a lot more aggressive and purposeful now with all the sharp cut panels gravitating toward the front axel - are all new styling cues for this naked derivation of the S 1000 RR.

While the first generation S1000R's tail section was shared with the RR, the second generation model is slightly different and slimmer than the supersport model on which it is based.

The 999cc in-line four in the 2021 S 1000 R is based on the S 1000 RR, but it's been detuned to generate 167.2PS at 11,000rpm and 114Nm at 9,250rpm.

BMW has been inspiring us with their fancy cars for a decade but they are also producing bikes and that’s what the main purpose of this article is.

BMW has been trying to produce bikes that are just as fancy and classless as their cars. With many years of consistency in their model development, BMW Motorrad has now fully re-designed its middle-class GS models with respect to its objective of creating the ultimate beast that is even more unfussy, whether used for road riding or on an adventure trip into the wild. BMW presents the F 850 GS, BMW Motorrad’s mid-segment adventure companion, and for which bookings have now been open in the Nepalese market.

BMW Patents Radical C Evolution New Electric Motorcycle

5th August 2020
"When you want a purer riding experience, without all the car-style safety systems, you can simply leave them at home."

BMW has been down the road of roofed bikes before. The C1 scooter, made for just two years between 2000 and 2002, proved a sales flop despite its claim of offering car-style safety. But 20 years on, the firm is getting ready to dive back into the same arena with a completely rethought version of the “enclosed” concept that—most importantly—can be converted back into a “normal” bike by undoing just a few bolts.

“Normal” is relative, of course. The BMW idea—which has been the basis of an astounding 15 patent applications in the last month alone—is an electric machine that appears to be based on the chassis, batteries, and transmission of the C Evolution scooter. Like the C1, the C Evolution is expensive and slow-selling, but unlike its predecessor it represents a form BMW remains committed to, staking its claim as a serious player in the electric bike field.
It includes features like:


Carbon Safety Cell
Weight is every bike’s enemy, and BMW’s solution for the new design is to use carbon fiber. The roof is made of it, while the chassis is an aluminium platform built around the battery packs. Carbon provides immense strength with a minimal weight.


Crumple Zones
The crumple zones are simply bolted to the bottoms of the roof’s pillars, it should be relatively easy to replace them, and so a crash won’t necessarily mean the bike is instantly written off just because a zone has been destroyed.


Seat Belts
Race-style four-point harnesses hold the rider in position during an accident, but the shoulder straps have road-car-style inertia reels to allow them to move until they’re jolted by an impact. At that stage, pre-tensioners tighten the belts to pull the rider back into the seat.

 

Side Airbags
Airbags set into the side panels expand during an accident, creating a padded section on each side of the rider running from his hips all the way to his shoulders and extending forward as far as his elbows, again keeping his arms inside the safety cell during a crash.


Rear Impact Protection
BMW hasn’t forgotten about rear impacts either. The upright section of the rider’s seat—which is attached to the removable roof rather than the seat base—has a strong cage inside to protect your spine.


Active Aerodynamics
BMW’s solution to that problem is to use active aerodynamics, with four movable winglets to compensate. Connected to a computer-operated stability system, the winglets—two at the front, two at the back—create downforce but also act like an aeroplane’s ailerons.


Removable Roof
All this stuff is impressive technology, but perhaps the cleverest element of all is the fact that BMW has designed it all to be easily removed by undoing just a few bolts.


BMW’s idea appears to be that you can use the protection when you’re commuting, or struggling with bad weather or inattentive drivers and all the other daily trials that motorcyclists face. But when you want a purer riding experience, without all the car-style safety systems, you can simply leave them at home.
It first mooted it with a patent for a removable roof for the C Evolution, filed last year, but the 15 new patent documents show that the concept has evolved significantly since then. Given that BMW already sells electric cars with carbon fiber bodies and chassis, like the i3, it’s conceivable the firm will actually put this into production to further explore the use of the material and electric tech as well as to probe the potential crossover markets between car drivers and motorcyclists.
