Features
- A BOXER CLASSIC: Its powerful air-cooled, two-cylinder boxer engine features a capacity of 1170 cc and 110 hp (81 kW) of output for a highly dynamic power delivery, even at low speeds. Whether you’re in the city or on the country road, every journey is a special experience. The standard BMW Motorrad ABS and optional automatic stability control (ASC) allow you to safely bring the unmistakable dynamic riding characteristics to the road. The upside-down forks are compression and rebound adjustable to suit your riding style. The newly designed tachometer readily informs you about everything you need to know, contributing to riding enjoyment.
- TWIN-CYLINDER BOXER ENGINE: Powerful and reliable: the heart of the R nineT. The boxer is more than just an engine – it is a statement, a lifestyle.
- STEERING DAMPERS: The elegant conical connection of the steering damper is an homage to the engineering skill and a sign of the love of design at BMW Motorrad.
- TYPE PLATE: Who are you and where do you come from? The type plate of the R nineT reveals a lot more than just "Made in Berlin".
- VARIABLE REAR: Whether you are alone or traveling as a pair, with the variable rear, you define your R nineT's look in just a few short steps.
- SEAT SUPPORTS: Forged from solid aluminum, the seat supports form the focal point between the tank, seat and engine
- PURE ALUMINUM: Unpainted, raw, high-quality. Numerous parts made of brushed aluminum give the R nineT an unmistakable look.
- ABS: BMW Motorrad quality, combined with the latest safety technology, guarantee you a carefree riding experience.
- FENDER BRACKET: The solid aluminum struts from one cast nestle against the front-wheel cover.
- RELAXED SEATING, STRESS-FREE RIDING: Even the ergonomics of the R nineT are aligned entirely in keeping with its casual overall look and its dynamic riding characteristics. It almost sounds like a paradox, but despite its engine performance, the target here is relaxed deceleration – with the fullest pleasure. The balanced ergonomic triangle and the still somewhat flatter steering head angle allow you to discover new routes while sitting up and yet staying relaxed. Meaning ergonomics and outstanding riding characteristics go hand in hand with the R nineT.
