BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR

Engine

robust inline two-cylinder engine that has been approved for Euro 5+. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), engine drag torque control, and a sportier setup are now standard features in the dynamic riding mode. Together with Akrapovič, the new sports silencer is a genuine BMW Motorrad accessory.

The well-proven two-cylinder in-line engine in the new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR, which has an 895 cc capacity and produces 77 kW (105 bhp) of power, guarantees enjoyable riding dynamics. A robust torque curve is also provided by it in the current Euro 5+ homologation.

The two new F models provide even more dynamics and riding pleasure at a sporty pace thanks to the newly adjusted standard “Dynamic” driving mode. The best possible safety during acceleration is ensured by the standard installation of Dynamic Traction Control (DTC). Additionally standard is the engine drag torque control. For an even greater degree of safety, it stops rear wheel spin or skidding brought on by sudden throttle release or downshifting.

With a weight reduction of about 1.2 kg, the new sports silencer, which is a genuine BMW Motorrad accessory (in collaboration with Akrapovič), adds even more throatiness to the two-cylinder engine’s sound, which already has a powerful character due to the 270/450 degree firing interval.

Suspension

new telescopic forks that are upside-down and have spring preload, compression damping, and rebound adjustment. New wheels that weigh about 1.8 kg less.
For even greater safety when braking, BMW Motorrad ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control DBC are standard.

New, torsionally strong, upside-down telescopic forks with a 43 mm slider tube diameter guide the front wheel on the new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR. There is now adjustable spring preload,

compression damping, and rebound damping. This enables the forks to be customized to meet specific needs.

Wheels

New 17-inch cast aluminum wheels are another element of the new BMW F 900 R and F 900 XR.

They contribute to a 3 kg weight reduction overall, weighing about 1.8 kg less than the prior models.

Brakes

BMW Motorrad ABS Pro is another new standard feature on the new F models. By enabling ABS-assisted braking at lean angles, ABS Pro goes one step further than BMW Motorrad ABS and provides even greater safety while stopping in curves.

Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), another new standard safety element, prevents accidental acceleration, increasing safety when braking in challenging circumstances.

Technology

Turn indication lights with integrated functions and a new, 0.8 kg lighter battery are standard on the revised rear end. The standard features of the BMW F 900 XR with Headlight Pro include heated grips, an adaptive headlight, a USB-C charging connector, and a daytime running light.

A new battery that weighs 0.8 kg less is included with the two new F Series versions. Additionally,

the BMW F 900 R boasts improved ergonomics. The body color was applied to the new headlight side trim.

In the new BMW F 900 R, the ergonomic triangle formed by the handlebars, seat, and footrests has been revised, as have the foot levers. This has allowed for the development of a riding posture that is closer to the front wheel and much more dynamic.

The body-colored headlight side trim highlights the new BMW F 900 R’s heightened sporting aspirations.

Hand protection and improved aerodynamics are standard on the BMW F 900 XR.

The front fairing’s optimized aerodynamics give the new BMW F 900 XR even more touring potential and long-distance comfort.

The rider experiences much less helmet vibration and even more riding pleasure as a result of the modified wind deflector’s reduction of wind pressure. Better protection from the wind and weather is also offered by the hand protectors, which come standard on all equipment variations.
