BMW Motorrad has unveiled the 2025 S 1000 RR with a new short-stroke throttle, more track performance and even more features as standard fitment.

The S 1000 RR – abbreviated as Double-R – has been significantly refined, especially for track use. The M short-stroke throttle allows the 2025 S 1000 RR to respond even more directly to every command at the throttle, new winglets provide increased downforce, a new front wheel cover with integrated brake ducts improves brake cooling, and new fairing side panels offer a more striking design.

The new winglets are larger and the advantage in downforce is significant. BMW has claimed a maximum of 23.1 kg downforce at 300 km/h which is up from 17.1 kg on the 2024 version. The winglets may look very similar to the M 1000 RR but there is a difference in downforce with the M-model offering even more without affecting the top speed. That said, the 2025 S 1000 RR is not too far behind.

Additionally, the standard features of the Double-R have been significantly enhanced. The Pro riding modes are now standard, including additional “Race Pro” modes, two more combinations of throttle response and engine torque, as well as the Engine Brake and Hill Start Control Pro functions, five-level adjustable ABS in the “Race Pro” modes, and the ABS setting “Slick.” The Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is also a new standard feature.

The 2025 S 1000 RR is offered in three attractive color schemes: the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluestone metallic with matte graphic applications, and the M Motorsport variant in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport in combination with the M package.

Standard Features: 

• New winglets
• Compliance with Euro 5+ emission standards
• Pro riding modes as standard
• M short-stroke throttle (58-degree rotation angle)
• Side fairings in new design
• New front wheel cover with brake ducts
