BORN TO LEAD

Trimmed down for maximum performance – in this case, long-distance performance. That's why it's called the M XR: MaXimizeR. This bike maximises everything: your riding experience, your endurance and, whenever you want, your adrenaline. Alternatively, you can confidently relax while travelling great distances. #NeverStopChallenging.

Born on the Racetrack

You sense it immediately. The M XR bears that M DNA. It embodies everything that the most powerful letter in the world stands for: leadership, supremacy and playful, effortless dominance. The letter "M" promises top-notch machining with outstanding materials and equipment. Riding an M bike requires excellent riding skills. M combines the fascination of motorsport with a lifestyle in the fast lane. The third M model completes our four-cylinder range.

Maximum Exclusivity

Not only visually an M. The M XR is comprehensively equipped with M parts. Right from the start with a glance at the display, the M start-up animation brings you into the M sports world. While the M Sport seat allows you to ride without fatigue, the M winglets provide increased contact pressure on the road through aerodynamic downforce. And the M brake also makes performance precisely controllable.

M + XR = Long-Distance Performance

The equation for an incomparable riding experience of M-like performance and XR-like long-distance capability. You won't want to get off the bike thanks to its sublime ergonomics or the Pro and RACE riding modes. It's all there, and not just in terms of equipment. The M XR is highly versatile with its sport, touring and pillion suitability. Its weight can be minimised even further with the optional M Competition package, so that you are on the road with maximum dynamism.

Brute Force in Your Hands

Climb on and you are constantly reminded: the M XR can move you at over 275 km/h. From 0 to 100 in 3.2 seconds; to 200 in 7.4. This is made possible by the BMW ShiftCam four-cylinder engine of the RR, adapted for the XR, with 201 hp (147 kW) at a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm. In conjunction with the sports gearbox with shorter ratios in 4th, 5th and 6th gear, as well as a shorter secondary ratio, the M XR is perfected for performance-oriented long-distance journeys. This helps you take the lead whenever you feel like it.

Leadership Par Excellence

Ready? Take a seat, start the engine and dive into the M world. Behind you is the slim, performance-oriented rear with short number plate carrier. It's from this point you leave everything behind. You lead. You hear the incomparable sound that comes from the steep Akrapovič slip-on rear silencer. Your passenger also has the full M experience thanks to the passenger seat contour, slim grab handles and rear footrest bracket.
