The new 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade adopts a 218 hp 4-legged and aileron !
MNC had predicted it: the new Honda Fireblade does not inherit a V4 but badly muscle its in-line 4-cylinder to reach the trifle of 218 hp, up 26 horsepower ! This new CBR1000RR-R is also available in a more luxurious SP version. Presentation.
Honda is getting all red with its CBR1000RR-R 2020 (yes, that’s four Rs!), Which sends out the fundamentals of its predecessor launched in 2017! Forgotten the lightness so much vaunted on the old Fireblade of 196 kg and its "reasonable" power of 192 ch: place to a Superbike exceeding 200 ch like the competitors, and !

The novelty 2020 thus exhibits large muscles, even if it means taking a little fat: 217.6 hp ("160 kW" according to the press kit) and 202 kg, up from respectively 25.6 hp and 6 kg. The package was put on the 4-cylinder in-line, which retains a classic 180 ° ignition timing – unlike the asynchronous one of the R1 – but adopts extreme dimensions: 81 mm of bore and 48.5 mm of race.
Do these values mean anything to you? Normal: they are the same as those of the homologated MotoGP with a V4 engine! This large bore – "the highest among the 1000 cc 4-cylinder on the market", points out Honda – indicates the color: heading for pure power at high revs for the circuit, to the detriment of the revivals on the road. Its torque is also down slightly, from 114 to 113 Nm.
Its new engine also receives the reinforcement of a distribution by pawls – a device introduced by BMW in 2009 on its S1000RR -, which is partially driven by a cascade of pinions. A lot of work on reducing friction would also have been done, in particular through a surface treatment of the Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) type..
Chassis side, the CBR1000RR-R (the word counts triple to you in Scrabble!) Introduces a new frame, always of perimeter type in aluminum. Its RC213V-S-inspired swingarm is lengthened by "30.5mm" to absorb the enormous jump in power, while the fully adjustable Showa suspensions look identical to the previous vintage..
Fireblade "RRRR": the Superbike approved by !
This new hyper sporty Honda exhibits a stiffened fork crown – like the fire CBR600RR – under which new deflectors are placed to increase the aerodynamic downforce (as on the RSV4 1100 and Panigale V4R). Its 16.1-liter tank is also lowered by "45 mm", while its drag coefficient would be 0.270: "the best in its class", boasts the manufacturer.
The sophisticated electronics show improvements affecting among other things the operation of the electronic accelerator and the ABS (configurable for road or circuit), a little abrupt on the previous version despite. The CBR1000RR-R also receives a new keyless start – you will have to put the remote control-transponder in the combi ‘! – and a new assistant at the start.
As before, the new Fireblade is available in a SP version with forged rims, Ohlins suspensions controlled by electronics and Brembo radial callipers (Nissin on standard). Both also receive a titanium silencer made with Akrapovic, an inertia unit and a 200 mm rear rim (190 in 2019).
Hopefully this luxurious CBR1000RR-R SP will carry a standard shifter, which again seems to be lacking in the standard Fireblade … Prices for the 2020 models have not yet been communicated, but they should evolve according to our estimates around 18 000 euros for the "RRR" and 22,500 euros for the "RRR-SP".
