With a further developed in-line two-cylinder

EICMA 2019

The new BMW F 800 R comes with more displacement, more power and new engine drag torque control. The mid-range roadster will be presented at EICMA.

HThe centerpiece of the new BMW F 900 R is the further developed in-line twin cylinder, which was introduced in 2018 with the F 850 ​​GS. For comparison: In the Enduro, 95 HP (70 kW) are generated from 853 cm³ displacement and a maximum torque of 92 Nm at 6,250 rpm. For the new F 900 R, on the other hand, there are now 895 cc and 105 hp (77 kW) at 8,500 rpm. With its predecessor it was 798 cm³ displacement, 90 hp peak and 86 Nm maximum torque.

In addition, an even fuller torque curve should ensure sporty driving pleasure: a maximum of 92 Nm (at 6,500 rpm), but in the engine speed range between 4,500 rpm and 8,500 rpm, more than 87 Nm should be available. According to BMW development, the consumption should not have increased, for the predecessor, BMW specifies 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers.

The ignition interval remains at 270/450 degrees, which, together with the new underfloor silencer system, should ensure a roadster-like sound. Furthermore, a 48 hp version for driving license class A2 is also available ex works.

Like the F 750 GS and F 850 ​​GS, the new BMW F 900 R also uses a steel bridge frame that integrates the engine as a load-bearing element. At the front, an upside-down telescopic fork with 135 mm guides the wheel, at the rear an aluminum twin-arm swing arm with central spring strut and 142 mm of travel. The tank is now back to its classic position between the handlebars and the driver and, at 13 liters, holds two liters less than its predecessor.
