BMW M 1000 XR Prototype

BMW has released a handful of pictures of their M 1000 XR prototype. Touted as a long-distance sports bike with high long-range capability and supersports riding dynamics, the BMW M 1000 XR is based on the BMW S 1000 XR, which is the company's flagship sports tourer. For those unaware, the S 1000 XR offers a blend of the sporty genes of the legendary BMW RR badge with the ergonomics of the company’s GS badge. After the M 1000 RR and the M 1000 R, the BMW M 1000 XR is the third model souped-up in M performance parts. According to the manufacturer, the 'M' badge is synonymous with high-performance BMW models and is aimed at customers with high demands for performance, exclusivity, and individuality.

In terms of riding ergonomics, the bike gets a front-wheel-oriented seating position and a fat tyre at the back for better bike control. Once launched, the M Competition package will be available with the bike as an optional extra, with carbon fibre components. Speculations are rife that the M 1000 XR is expected to offer forged aluminium wheels, dynamic damper control, a host of electronic aids, and the Race Pro riding mode that allows the rider to customise the bike in accordance with their liking.

The BMW M 1000 XR features M winglets, claiming to offer better aerodynamic downforce, improved stability even at high speeds, and a lower wheelie tendency. BMW says that the additional wheel load on the front wheel reduces the wheelie tendency during acceleration, resulting in a faster lap time.

Similar to the BMW M 1000 RR and the M 1000 R models, the M 1000 XR prototype gets the M brake with a radial hand brake pump, which is said to deliver maximum braking performance on country roads, during long-distance journeys, and on the race track. Furthermore, the M brake callipers have a blue anodised coating in conjunction with the M logo. Other notable design elements include a short windscreen and sweptback headlights with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs).
