2012 BMW S1000RR
The latest in racing power. With an aluminium bridge, radial brakes, the BMW S1000RR comes standard in Canada with Race ABS, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Gear Shift Assist. Never before is it so easy to keep so much power under control. This is just as true on public roads as it is down on the racetrack. The RR label shows that it is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our motorsports team agree wholeheartedly.
When BMW build a superbike, we don't have time for second best. A motorcycle
designed for the race track, built to deliver acceleration that takes your
breath away.
With an aluminium bridge-type frame, radial brakes, a super sporty tail-up
nose-down design, hot colours and the ultimate combination of optional electronic
rider assistance systems: the first genuine racing ABS, the lightest of its
kind, and dynamic traction control (DTC) which adjusts engine torque to the
current level of grip, ensuring optimum traction out of every corner.
The S 1000 RR’s first year in production revolutionised the super-sport
market, out performing the more conventional competition which has dominated
the market for the past decade. This makes it even more exciting to be able
to say that the adrenaline filled 193bhp of sheer excitement, is now more
affordable than ever before.
Never before has it been so easy to keep so much power under control. This is as true on public roads as it is on the racetrack. The RR is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off its power plant is our absolute pride and joy. And our worldwide motorsports teams agree wholeheartedly.
Scarcely two years after the launch in 2009, BMW Motorrad is now presenting
the revised model of this successful supersports bike, now with many optimised
details. The primary objectives were even greater riding precision and agility,
a punchier power buildup, and a more sensitive response. The revised model
of the S 1000 RR has incorporated quite a few feedback reports from national
super stock races.
Like its predecessor, the new RR knows no compromise, providing the highest
level of sporting character and riding dynamics. The convincing features of
the new S 1000 RR are its improved handling with absolute riding stability,
supreme engine performance with perfect everyday practicality, and a resounding
dynamic performance. The highest level of active safety is safeguarded by
the most advanced brake system today on the market, the BMW Motorrad Race
ABS. When accelerating, the rider is supported by the Dynamic Traction Control
system DTC. Both of these systems have been optimised for the perfect interaction.
There have been no changes to the superior engine power of 142 kW (193 hp)
with a weight of only 204 kilograms including 90% fuel (206.5 weight with
Race ABS).
Concept with optimised riding dynamics.
One of the primary objectives pursued for the revised S 1000 RR model was
to improve ridability by boosting thrust and enhancing the linearity and harmoniousness
of the power and torque curves. The reconfigured throttle improves overall
response.
The new, optimised design raises response sensitivity, tightens the twistgrip
angle, and reduces the twisting force.
Suspension with improved handling and feedback.
The modifications to the new RR suspension have been instrumental in boosting
its riding dynamics. For instance, the upside down fork and the spring strut
feature a new internal structure, providing an even wider range of damping
forces from comfort to performance.
Moreover, the suspension geometry has been modified with new values for the
steering head angle, offset, position of the swing arm pivot, fork projection,
and spring strut length to yield even better handling, steering accuracy,
and feedback for the new S 1000 RR. This has required modifications to the
main frame that also included enlarging the cross sectional area of the intake
air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency. This
package of suspension optimisations is rounded off by an adjustable mechanical
steering damper.
Instrument cluster with new functions.
The engine speed display has been redesigned for better readability. In addition,
the display can now be dimmed and provides more functions. For instance, the
lap timer can now present “Best lap in progress”, and if required,
“Speedwarning” can inform the rider when he exceeds a particular
speed.
Refined design and new colours.
The new S 1000 RR not only benefits from the advanced developments for the
engine, suspension, and cockpit. It has also gained yet another step ahead
in terms of design. The tail section now presents a considerably leaner look.
There have been some discrete changes to the asymmetrical side panels, and
the centre airbox cover now sports side aperture grilles. On the top part
of the panels, a new, telling identifying feature takes the form of two winglets
that enhance the aerodynamic qualities.
In the most sporting colour combination of Racing red and Alpine white, the
RR exudes power and speed even when it is stationary, whereas plain Bluefire
lends it a decidedly extravagant look.
Sporty dynamics is conveyed by Sapphire black metallic, and in BMW Motorrad
Motorsport colours, the new S 1000 RR testifies to its direct relationship
with BMW Motorrad Motorsport. The distinctive RR logo has been slightly modified.
Additional visual accents take the form of wheels painted in glossy black
and the red spring in the central strut. The matching swing arm either presents
an anodised coating or is kept in black.
Also the ergonomics has been improved in the form of new heel plates for the
rider. The stabilisers on the passenger footrests have now been designed for
a leaner look.
Extended range of optional extra and special equipment.
For individualising the new S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad is expanding its range
of optional extras and special equipment ex works with a number of attractive
features. Riders with a particularly sporty bent can now equip their RR with
an HP titanium exhaust system (with or without ABE) or the HP race data logger.
Also the heated grips offering two levels and fitted as optional extra can
take the bite out of the early morning run on the racetrack or longer rides
in cold weather.

2012 BMW S1000RR Features and Benefits
Drivetrain
Just as before, the S 1000 RR sports the water cooled four cylinder inline
engine of solely 59.8 kg delivering a top power output of 142 kW (193 hp)
at 13,000 rpm and a top engine speed of 14,200 rpm. The max torque of 112
Nm is reached at 9750 rpm.
Reconfigured throttle for improved overall response.
The primary objective in this next level of development for the new RR was
to target the powertrain for combining the outstanding engine power with even
greater ridability. To this end, the throttle was first reconfigured in engine
control. To date, engine control consisted of four individual throttle curves
for each of the Rain, Sport, Race, and Slick modes. For the new RR, these
have been reduced to two: a characteristic curve for a particularly gentle
and sensitive throttle in Rain mode, and a second for immediately direct and
spontaneous response in the Sport, Race, and Slick modes. Following this measure,
the rider now no longer needs to adjust to the constantly changing throttle
characteristics when switching frequently between Sport, Race, and Slick modes.
At the same time, this also served to optimise the load change behaviour.
For particularly sensitive and fast regulation, the throttle valve now features
a supporting spring with a low spring rate that reduces the actuating force.
And the twisting angle is now considerably smaller on the new twistgrip throttle.
Optimised power and torque curves and lower secondary ratio.
The higher priority objective of the best possible ridability also included
the optimisation of the power and torque curves.
Three new power curves have been defined: one each for the Rain and Sport
modes and an additional one for the Race and Slick modes (in contrast to earlier,
when there was one for the Rain mode and a second for the Sport, Race and
Slick modes). With an eye to improving acceleration and thrust properties,
we have reduced the secondary ratio from its former 17:44 to its present 17:45.
In Rain mode, the new S 1000 RR now delivers 120 kW (163 hp), or 8 kW (11
hp) more than previously. In Sport, Race, and Slick modes, the RR can still
deliver a top power output of 142 kW (193 hp), but the power could be significantly
raised especially in the lower speed range between 5000 and 7500 rpm. The
result is essentially more linear and punchier engine characteristics.
Also the torque curves have been redefined for the purpose of improved ridability.
So the new RR now offers three different torque curves (previously two): one
each for the Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick.
All four modes benefit from the greater harmony and linearity of the torque
curve. In addition, the new S 1000 RR delivers in all four modes a considerably
greater torque in the 5000–7500 rpm range. And particularly in Rain mode,
the RR offers considerably improved ridability. Whereas the torque curve for
the predecessor model virtually plateaued from 4500 rpm, the new engine now
revs up more freely, and the curve rises to over 9000 rpm.
New combustion control in the overrun phase.
For uncompromising sporting characteristics with treadless tyres on the racetrack,
Slick mode has been reconfigured for enhanced performance. This involved a
series of modifications to the characteristic map for overrun phase combustion
that effectively eliminated permanent overrun fuel cutoff. Now, overrun phase
combustion control converts braking torque and engine drag torque into an
optimised retarding torque on the rear wheel. The result is even greater riding
and directional stability during braking and turning.
Modified stainless steel exhaust system and optimised intake air guide.
The all stainless steel exhaust system on the S 1000 RR features a redesigned
catalytic converter and front pipes. Fitted previously in the front pipes,
the catalytic cartridges are now integrated in the front silencer. The interactions
between the 20% larger cross section of the intake air guide in the steering
head, the modified airbox, the new bellmouth geometry, and modified engine
application all served to increase the torque as described above. These modifications
to the exhaust system now eliminate the need for the heat shield installed
previously on the oil sump.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with enhanced control performance.
When unveiled in 2009, the S 1000 RR was the first series supersports bike in the world to combine Race ABS with Dynamic
Traction Control (DTC). The fact that BMW Motorrad could implement these
two technologies with such ease proved to be so convincing that nearly 100%
of the vehicles leaving production are fitted with these two systems. Both
systems have seen continued optimisations in the course of technical advances.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is a rider assist system with a lean angle
sensor that supports the rider and provides him with that extra safety on
roads with compromised coefficients of friction. Following the laws of physics,
it regulates the transferred drive torque, preventing the rear wheel from
spinning in nearly all situations.
For the new RR, modifications have been made to reflect the new geometry,
and wheelie detection has been optimised. When wheelie detection engages,
the throttle valves now open much more gently. Moreover, Dynamic Traction
Control (DTC) has been optimised for greater riding and control performance
in the Race and Slick modes.
The new DTC application is based on the BMW Race Power Kit for better transparency during highly sporty manoeuvres on the racetrack. The experienced rider can therefore achieve faster lap times.
Suspension
The S 1000 RR boasts innovative suspension technology for the highest level
of supersports performance. The refinements made to the suspension have focused
particularly on enhancing agility, handling, and inclined stability. In addition,
the modifications lead to greater suspension reserves and an enhanced feeling
for all situations and the threshold level. In short, the new RR feels even
lighter and more manoeuvrable, but without sacrifice to riding stability.
New suspension geometry for better handling and greater steering accuracy.
The new S 1000 RR features a modified frame with a new steering head and
tail section. Besides new key figures for the geometry there is also a 20%
larger cross section of the intake air guide in the steering head. The steering
head angle is now 66° instead of the earlier 66.1°. The wheelbase
has now been shortened by 9.3 mm to 1422.7 mm, and the afterrun has been lengthened
by 2.6 mm to 98.5 mm. The fork bridge offset (front end) is now 2.5 mm shorter
at 29.5 mm. In addition, the fork projection is 5 mm shorter than in the predecessor
model. These modifications also included revisions to the steering head bearing
for a lower breakaway torque and hence greater steering precision.
Redesigned spring elements for a wider range of applications.
The new spring elements now allow a wider range of suspension configurations
between comfortable for the road and tight for the racetrack. As before, the
suspension can be configured quickly and easily at the clearly defined scales
on the spring elements. The new suspension adjustment now benefits riders
on both country roads and the racetrack. Internal friction has been minimised
on the fork and spring strut. This has resulted in a considerably optimised
response, and the rider can now recognise the threshold level with far greater
ease.
Upside down fork with new inner workings.
To date, the upside down fork on the S 1000 RR was fitted with bottom valve damping. Now featuring a mid speed damping valve, the fork can now utilise additional force at the working piston to build up compression damping with greater speed and precision.
Also, the constant flow area has been reduced for improved feedback from
the front section. The piston rod guide and the bearing concept have been
revised for a better, more transparent response.
New spring strut with revised damping.
The central spring strut now features a piston rod whose diameter has been
increased from 14 to 18 mm, allowing more oil to flow through the low/mid
speed valve. Here too, the reduction to the constant flow area increases the
rate and precision of compression damping buildup.
At the same time, the needle geometry has been modified on both valves and
now allows a highly linear buildup of damping force over the whole range of
settings. All in all, these modifications to the buildup of damping forces
greatly enhance the effects and feelings conveyed by each configuration.
A check valve installed in the piston rod counteracts any negative effects
on compression damping when the rebound is being set.
Also the spring strut now presents a smaller constant flow area for improved
feedback.
Overall, the new RR offers considerably greater ride comfort at the same
time as greater feedback and dynamics.
Race ABS with fine tuning and clear feedback.
The Race ABS on the S 1000 RR has been developed specifically and exclusively for the requirements on the supersports segment.
For the new RR, it has been adapted to the new suspension geometry and now
provides optimised control performance. An adaptive learner, it recognises
the requirements even of highly experienced riders and detects diverse road
conditions and tyres.
By pressing the lever, the rider receives feedback from the Race ABS as to
when the traction limit will be exceeded and the control range reached. The
rider feels controller feedback as a slight pulsing in the brake levers.
New mechanical adjustable steering damper.
Unlike its predecessor, the RR now features a mechanical steering damper
adjustable over ten levels. This allows the rider to choose the configuration
best suited to his riding style.
New coated swing arm and new swing arm bearing bush.
Depending on the S 1000 RR paintwork, the rear wheel swing arm is either
anodised or provided with a black, cathodic dip coating in lieu of the earlier
Ostra grey paint.
The swing arm bearing bush in the frame's tail section is now secured in
place with the one screw (instead of two as in the predecessor model) at a
position 4 mm higher for the full effect of the optimised suspension geometry.
New heel plates.
The heel plates have been redesigned for the optimal ergonomics. The stabilisers
on the passenger footrests have also been redesigned.
Fork bridge in a new design.
The forged and milled top fork bridge for the RR now presents a new design as a visual constituent of the cockpit always in view of the rider. The fork bridge offset is now 2.5 mm shorter at 29.5 mm.
Electrics and Electronics
Redesigned rev counter and dimmable LCD display.
The rev counter has been redesigned for better readability. The LCD display
now offers five dimming levels and provides a number of additional interesting
functions. The display now presents a symbol representing the new heated grips
available as optional equipment ex works.
“Best lap in progress” for the racetrack.
The integrated lap timer now displays “Best lap in progress”. When on the racetrack, the rider can then see in real time (100 m intervals) whether his present lap is faster or slower than his fastest lap so far. This provides invaluable assistance to riders with sporting ambitions. On every lap, the current lap time is compared with the “Best lap” time. When the current time is better, the
“Best lap in progress” (BLP) lamp lights up green. When the time
is slower, the BLP lamp goes out.
“Speedwarning” function for everyday support.
The function “Speedwarning” signals to the rider when he exceeds
a particular speed he has defined. When the speed limit is exceeded, the shift
lamp lights up and the word “SPEED” appears on the display.
Option for deactivating the lamp fault display.
For racing without a headlamp or number plate carrier (direction indicators),
the lamp fault display now presents a deactivation option that disables this
fault symbol.
Body and Design
Highest dynamics, functionality, and unmistakability in design.
The lightness the new S 1000 RR conveys when running is also reflected in
the look of greater dynamics presented by this highly dedicated sports bike.
Immediately conspicuous is the far leaner tail section. The centre airbox
cover sports new side aperture grilles. The asymmetrical side panels so characteristic
of the RR, with gills on the right and air outlet on the left, have experienced
some discreet refinements in their design.
These are joined by the new air deflectors, the so called winglets. These
not only lend the new RR its look of greater dynamics, but also boost its
aerodynamics by dissipating the wind pressure on hands and arms at high speeds.
Range of Equipment
For even greater individualisation of the S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad offers
an extensive range of optional accessories and optional equipment ex works.
Special equipment is delivered directly ex works and is integrated in the
production process. Special accessories are installed at BMW Motorrad dealerships.
The motorcycle can therefore be fitted with options after it has left the
factory.
The equipment options already available for the S 1000 RR have now been supplemented
with the following.
Optional Extras.
o Heated grips with two levels.
Special equipment.
o HP titanium exhaust system street legal / non-street legal.
o HP winglets of CRP.
o HP race data logger with GPS.
This offer is rounded off with the familiar, high quality collection of rider´s
gear, HP parts and the HP race parts designed specifically for the S 1000
RR.
o HP race power kit.
o HP race calibration kit.
o HP race cover kit.
o HP race shift pattern reversal.
o HP race footrest plate.
In addition, BMW Motorrad HP Race Support assists all customers who want
to use their RR at a higher professional level on the racetrack.
Colors
New colour concept for sporty dynamics.
The colour concept for the S 1000 RR plays with the contrasts presented by
the black bridge frame, the filigree wheels with glossy black paint, and the
stubby rear silencer of stainless steel. The look of sporty dynamics is underscored
by the two arm swinging fork with anodised or black cathodic dip coating.
On all colour variants, the red spring in the central strut provides an additional
visual accent.
The new RR will be offered in four colour variants. In the particularly sporty
colour combination of Racing red and Alpine white, the S 1000 RR exudes power
and speed even when it is stationary, whereas Bluefire underscores the extravagance
of the supersports bike. Sporty dynamics is borne up by Sapphire black metallic,
and the BMW Motorrad Motorsport colours, which testifies to the direct relationship
with BMW Motorrad Motorsport.
The distinctive RR logo has been slightly modified.
