2024 BMW S 1000 XR Launched in India at Rs 22.50 Lakh, Claims 253km/h Top Speed

A little more than a week after it launched the M 1000 XR in India, BMW Motorrad has brought in the Ducati Multistrada V4-rivalling S 1000 XR. At Rs 22.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the 2024 BMW S 1000 XR gets visual tweaks, performance upgrades, and updated features.

Starting with its design, the new S 1000 XR has a revised rear section featuring new side panels and air intakes taking inspiration from motorsports. The body-coloured beak fender replaces the black one seen before. Also, there is a completely redesigned seat. With an 850mm seat height, which can be lowered with optional equipment, the 2024 BMW S 1000 XR should be more manoeuvrable on the road as well as on the racetrack. Other visual changes include new colours and updated graphics.

2024 BMW S 1000 XR: Performance

Moving to its performance now, the 2024 BMW S 1000 XR sprints from 0 to 100km/h in 3.25 seconds, thanks to a reworked 999cc, inline-four-cylinder engine. The motor is tuned to produce 168bhp at 11,000rpm and 114Nm of peak torque at 9,250rpm, which is an increase of 5bhp over the outgoing model. Transmission duties on the bike are performed by a six-speed gearbox, accompanied by a bi-directional quick shifter.

Though the BMW S 1000 XR and the BMW M 1000 XR are mechanically related, the former has a claimed top speed of 253km/h, whereas the latter tops out at 278km/h. On offer are four riding modes with the S 1000 XR – Rain, Road, Dynamic, and Dynamic Pro.
