BMW introduces the eagerly awaited 2024 S 1000 XR, marking a significant upgrade to this long-distance sportbike option.
The heart of the 2024 BMW S 1000 XR, its 999cc inline 4-cylinder engine, has substantially transformed and now boasts an increased power output of 170 horses, a 5-horse bump from its predecessor. The engine offers a smoother torque delivery, and the optimized intake channels and customized engine mapping contribute to this performance boost, maintaining a maximum torque of 84-foot pounds at 9,250 rpm.
The S 1000 XR introduces improved ergonomics with a redesigned seat, now 0.4 inches higher at 33.5 inches, providing a more spacious and adjustable riding position. This update enhances maneuverability, especially during high-performance rides, offering three-seat height options. The aesthetic evolution of the S 1000 XR includes a sportier rear section with new side panels and air intakes inspired by motorsports. Design refinements extend to the radiator trim’s textured surface, and the front “beak” now harmonizes with the body color.
With its adaptive turning light, the 2024 S 1000 XR Headlight Pro ensures safety during night rides, significantly improving road illumination in corners. Keyless Ride and a 12 Ah capacity battery are now standard, along with a USB charging socket for added rider convenience.

The Premium Package has Dynamic ESA, Gear Shift Assist Pro, Cruise Control, Luggage Rack, Center Stand, Heated Grips, Hand Protection, GPS Prep, TPM Tire Pressure Monitor, and LED Auxiliary Lights.
