The M Carbon wheels, which are available for the first time and come as part of the M package, as well as individually as optional equipment, ensure especially good handling of the bike by reducing rotational mass. They are permitted for two people with luggage and are also a real eye-catcher thanks to standard rim stickers.

Not only technically, but also visually, a lot has changed here. The intake duct of the S 1000 XR stands out in a new design, and the beak is painted in the respective vehicle colour for the first time. The new colour scheme and exclusive tapes emphasise the bike's striking look. The front side trim panel has also been refined with black graining.

Thanks to various refinements, the power of the new S 1000 XR has increased by 5 hp. As a result, it now achieves a maximum output of 170 hp. The four-cylinder in-line engine continues to impress as a superb source of power for sporty, long-distance journeys. In addition, the bike now meets the latest EU5+ emissions standard. The software of the shift assistant Pro has been expanded by various functions and thus enables, among other things, improved load change damping during gear changes.
