P86 FEATURE I EICMA 2024 BMW S 1000 RR The BMW S 1000 RR remains for 2025, albeit in a slightly lower spec compared to the big daddy M 1000 RR. BMW has left the engine alone for 2025, the inline four- cylinder producing an unchanged (claimed) 205 hp at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm, although everything now complies with the ever-tightening Euro5+ emissions regulations. The S gets revised aero via redesigned winglets on the side of the fairing, with downforce going up a claimed 13.2 pounds (like the M 1000 RR) to 50.9 pounds at 186 mph. Aiding the aero are the new brake cooling ducts integrated into the new front fender, which have been optimized for improved airflow around the forks and brake calipers. This reduces the brake temperature during track use and provides more consistent brake pressure. You'll also get the M's new 58° quick action throttle, down from 72°, to get all that go juice to the rear tire even faster. The 2025 S 1000 RR will come in three colors: Basic in Black Storm Metallic, Style Sport in Bluestone Metallic and the M Package in Light White / M Motorsport graphics. Expect to see the models in dealers in Q2 of 2025 with prices announced in the new year.
