Gets improved electronics and weighs 10kg lighter than before
Gets improved electronics and weighs 10kg lighter than before
- The S 1000 XR was earlier teased via BMWās social media channels.
- Ditches its asymmetrical styling for a symmetrical design language.
- Does away with BMW's ShiftCam technology.
BMW Motorrad has launched its top-of-the-line sports tourer, the S 100 XR Pro, in India for Rs 20.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This sports tourer in adventure clothing comes packed with a BS6-compliant 999cc inline-four motor borrowed from the S 1000 RR but misses out on BMWās nifty ShiftCam technology. The bikeās been improved on the technological front and even gets a new symmetrical design language, just like BMWās flagship superbike.
The S 100 XR draws power from a 999cc inline four-cylinder engine thatās been retuned to produce 165PS of power and 114Nm of peak torque, which is the same as before. Unfortunately, the bike misses out on BMWās ShiftCam technology which allows for an even spread of power throughout the rev range.

The bike isnāt short on electronic rider aids either. It features traction control, wheelie control, engine drag torque control, hill start assist, a quick-shifter and a six-axis IMU. The motor nestles in between an aluminium composite bridge frame that holds everything together.

In terms of underpinnings, the S 1000 XR comes equipped with electronically adjustable suspension on both ends which can calibrate itself on the fly in a bid to smoothen out rough roads. The front end gets a 45mm USD fork while the rear features a monoshock, both sourced from ZF. Its 17-inch wheels come wrapped in road-biased tyres which aid its sport touring characteristics. The bike is anchored by a pair of twin 320mm discs up front and a 220mm single disc at the rear, both from Hayes. The 2020 S 1000 XR sheds a total of 10kg over the previous-gen model.
In terms of competition, BMW S 1000 XR Pro goes up against the Kawasaki Versys 1000.

1 - BMW S 1000XR
The S1000XR's ability to slice across the country in a relaxed manner but with ban-inducing speed is amazing. You can ride it faster than the donor sports bike, as the riding position gives better control, is less tiring and makes overtaking easier, especially with the added midrange from the XR-spec engine.
- A Wonderful Tourer
A wonderful tourer. BMW created the best competitor for all the adventure bikes in the 1000cc segment. Overall it is fully equipped with all of the electronics to be in a bike. Safety, comfort, and styling are the main motto of this beauty. BMW focused mainly on the riding posture for better comfort. Maybe this beauty gonna be a trendsetter in the market for a long time. Wish BMW to continue their lineup like this.
- Wonderful Bike.
Wow, wonderful bike. I want to buy this bike as soon as possible and this bike is very compatible with riders who love long rides.
