The 2025 BMW S 1000 RR is here—and it’s sharper, smarter, and faster than ever before. BMW Motorrad has taken one of its most successful superbikes and upgraded it with aerodynamic tweaks, enhanced electronics, and rider-focused features that make it feel like a track-ready machine straight from the future.
Whether you’re a track enthusiast or a street rider looking for pure adrenaline, the new S 1000 RR has something to thrill everyone.
Updated Aerodynamics and New Design
BMW has given the 2025 model a noticeable design refresh. The most prominent change is the addition of asymmetric gill-shaped air vents and redesigned winglets. These aren’t just cosmetic; the new winglets can generate up to 13 pounds of downforce at high speeds, improving stability during fast cornering and braking.
The bike now also features integrated brake cooling ducts, which help reduce brake fade and improve overall performance during long rides or intense track sessions.
Powerful Engine and Enhanced Throttle Control
Under the fairings, the S 1000 RR retains its signature 999cc inline-four engine, producing around 205 horsepower. But for 2025, it gets a new M Quick Action Throttle, offering even faster and smoother throttle response. This means quicker acceleration and better control whether you’re launching off the line or navigating a twisty canyon road.
The engine remains a masterpiece of German engineering—refined, high-revving, and loaded with power across the RPM range.
Advanced Rider Aids and Electronics
BMW has packed the 2025 S 1000 RR with cutting-edge electronics. You get multiple riding modes including Rain, Road, Dynamic, and Race, each tailored for different levels of traction, throttle response, and ABS intervention.
Additionally, Slide Control, Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Adjustment, and Launch Control give the rider precise control in any riding scenario. BMW has even included Intelligent Emergency Call, a safety feature that can automatically contact emergency services if the bike detects a crash.
Chassis and Suspension
The bike’s aluminum twin-spar frame and fully adjustable suspension offer a balanced mix of stiffness and flex. The Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) system reads road conditions in real time and adjusts suspension accordingly. Whether you’re hitting potholes on the highway or attacking corners on a racetrack, the ride remains composed.
Braking and Tires
Stopping power comes from dual 320mm front discs with Brembo four-piston calipers, and a single rear disc. The braking system has been refined to work seamlessly with the ABS Pro system, offering maximum confidence even under aggressive braking.
Technology and Display
The full-color 6.5-inch TFT display is crystal-clear in all lighting conditions. It provides navigation, vehicle data, phone connectivity via Bluetooth, and more. Riders can also adjust ride modes, suspension settings, and traction control right from the display or handlebar controls.
Pricing and Availability
The 2025 BMW S 1000 RR is expected to start at around $18,295 in the U.S. Depending on your region and optional packages (such as the M Package), the price can go higher. Global availability will begin in mid-to-late 2025, with bookings already open in select markets.
Final Thoughts
BMW hasn’t reinvented the S 1000 RR—it’s made it smarter and more refined. This superbike is now even closer to its racing roots, while remaining road-legal and rider-friendly. With improved aerodynamics, upgraded electronics, and smarter safety systems, the 2025 BMW S 1000 RR is more than just a motorcycle. It’s an experience on two wheels.
