Features

Features

  • THE PERFECT START - THE M START-UP ANIMATION: When your M XR starts up, you are immersed in the full M Experience. The TFT display switches on with the unmistakable M start-up animation and shows itself ready for your personal challenges.
  • DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE RIGHT DOWN TO THE REAR: The motorsport genes of the M XR are in every detail: from the M milled parts, such as the M clutch and brake lever, to the slim rear section with steep titanium rear silencer and short license plate carrier.
  • POWERFUL AND DIRECT - THE ENGINE: The M XR has everything you need for speed. The beating heart is its extremely powerful and high-revving ShiftCam engine with 201 hp and a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm.
  • GETTING PERFORMANCE UNDER CONTROL: THE M BRAKE: The M brake offers our maximum performance and resistance point and fading stability as well as excellent dosing. Externally, it is recognizable by the blue eloxal coating and M logo.
  • CONTROLLED FORCE - WITH M WINGLETS: The M winglets tame the brute power of the M XR. They generate downforce at high speeds providing greater riding stability, a lower tendency to lift the front wheel, and a smoother ride.
  • FAST FORWARD - THE ULTRA-SPORTY FRONT: The front has an "all-black" finish, including the milled, black, upper fork bridge and legs. The M colors create an unmistakable visual asymmetry and, together with the tinted Sport windscreen, emphasize the bike's performance-oriented character. *European model shown. Tinted windscreen is not available in the U.S.A.
  • BORN ON THE RACETRACK: You sense it immediately. The M XR bears that M DNA. It embodies everything that the most powerful letter in the world stands for: leadership, supremacy and playful, effortless dominance. The letter "M" promises top-notch machining with outstanding materials and equipment. Riding an M bike requires excellent riding skills. M combines the passion of motorsport with a lifestyle in the fast lane. The third M model completes our four-cylinder range.
  • MAXIMUM EXCLUSIVITY: Not only visually an M. The M XR is comprehensively equipped with M parts. Right from the start with a glance at the display, the M start-up animation brings you into the M sports world. While the M Sport seat allows you to ride with less fatigue, the M winglets provide increased contact pressure on the road through aerodynamic downforce. And the M brake also makes performance precisely controllable.
  • BRUTE FORCE IN YOUR HANDS: Climb on and you are constantly reminded: the M XR can move you at over 170 mph. From 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds; to 124 mph in 7.4. This is made possible by the BMW ShiftCam four-cylinder engine of the RR, adapted for the XR, with 201 hp at a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm. In conjunction with the sports gearbox with shorter ratios in 4th, 5th and 6th gear, as well as a shorter secondary ratio, the M XR is designed for performance-oriented long-distance journeys. This helps you take the lead whenever you feel like it.
  • UNMISTAKABLE M: Performance has three colors: light blue, dark blue and red. The characteristic M color scheme gives the M XR its unmistakeable look. In its exclusive green finish, too, its dynamism can be felt in every detail.
  • THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS: Perfection is the sum of all details. No millimeter has been left to chance. With elaborate M paint and exclusive parts, like the milled M clutch lever and M brake lever, the design sets sporty standards. The shorter, tinted sports windscreen* also demonstrates that this bike originates from the M Motorsport mold. *European model shown. Tinted windscreen is not available in the U.S.A.
  • LEADERSHIP PAR EXCELLENCE: Ready? Take a seat, start the engine and dive into the M world. Behind you is the slim, performance-oriented rear with short license plate carrier. It's from this point you leave everything behind. You lead. You hear the incomparable sound that comes from the steep Akrapovič slip-on rear silencer. Your passenger also has the full M experience thanks to the passenger seat contour, slim grab handles and rear footrest bracket.
  • THERE'S MORE TO COME: You love a challenge: the optionally available M Competition package is made for you. The M Carbon wheels and numerous M Carbon parts included in the package not only give the bike an ultra-sporty look, they reduce the weight to just 485 lbs, thus maximizing dynamics and handling. With the M GPS-Laptrigger, you can focus on your fastest times.
